Re: "Changes to lobbying rules could spell end to 50 years of free trips to Israel for Canadian MPs, senators"

"It is edifying to pass through Israeli military checkpoints alongside Palestinians, to witness Israeli settlements with manicured green grass beside impoverished Palestinian villages with crumbling infrastructure, and to see the realities of ordinary life on the other side of the wall."

Article headline inaccurately credits Irwin Cotler for freeing Nelson Mandela

"In some sense, you can say, all who opposed apartheid helped free Mandela, as with a flap of a butterfly’s wings. Nevertheless, people are increasingly sensitive to white saviour tropes, and unless more substantive details of Cotler’s help for freeing Mandela can be found, a different headline for this article is required."

Article undermines Palestinian grievances and fails to mention their oppression

"While Ms. Bovy’s column raises some genuine concerns regarding Israeli society’s current “theocratic” leanings and what that means for women, she would do well to remember that not a single government in the country’s 75-year history has been anything other than belligerent when it comes to the violation of Palestinian human rights."

Re: “Canada must rethink its friendship with Israel”

"Passing the buck and waiting for other nations to do something about Israel’s behaviour rather than standing up for what is right, as we have done with our multi-faceted support for Ukraine, only gives the Israeli government the message that they can continue to do as they please without fear of any serious consequences."

Re: “Sinead O’Connor’s road to Islam serves as an inspiration”

"What’s alarming is not simply how far Ben Gvir is willing to go to block events that promote peace, it is that, despite all this, he has risen to one of Israel’s highest posts."

Re: "How Israelis and Palestinians can make a one-state solution work"

"There is no symmetry between resistance fighters defending their homes in Jenin and one of the world’s most sophisticated armies laying waste to it. To describe Israel’s attack on Jenin as an effort to eliminate armed groups is absurd when one reviews the uncontroversial facts on the ground. The real objective was to instill terror in the people of Jenin, destroying their homes and vital infrastructure."

Problematic language regarding illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank

"The use of the word “seek” obscures the fact that illegal settlements are built on Palestinian land that has been militarily occupied by Israel since 1967."

Misleading and incorrect description of Hamas

"The second part of your sentence is untrue. While its 1988 Charter vowed to work outside the framework of peace initiatives with Israel, since 2004 Hamas leaders have repeatedly and consistently stated they would accept a peace agreement based on Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders. Such an agreement would effectively mean accepting a negotiated peace and a de facto recognition of Israel."

Thanks for including important context and sources about Canada's arms exports to Saudi Arabia

"Thank you for pointing out to readers that in 2022 about 54% of the value of total military non-U.S.exports from Canada went to a country ranked among the worst in the world for human rights."

One-sided reporting about Palestinian involvement in the 1972 Munich Olympics Attack

First, your news article fails to provide an adequate explanation of the Palestinian group, the Black September Organization, responsible for the Munich Olympics attacks. Since you are reporting on the implications of the attack, it is only fair that you include a sentence that defines the Palestinian group and its aims.
