"The report states, as fact, “ceasefire talks to release the remaining hostages ground to a near standstill.” We all know full well that there was a ceasefire deal and Israel broke it. Even during the ceasefire Israel repeatedly violated the terms and continued to kill Palestinians every day. So your framing of this is a blatant lie. This lie is repeated later in the article."

"Misinformation about the history of partition reinforces selective narratives. In this case, these narratives are anti-Palestinian. The article portrays Israel as if it was uniquely victimized or given exceptional treatment."

"As an occupying power, Israel is bound by the Fourth Geneva Convention, which mandates the provision of essential supplies to the civilian population under occupation. The deliberate obstruction of humanitarian aid, leading to widespread deprivation, has been characterized by the United Nations, mainstream media and human rights organizations as a war crime, specifically the use of starvation as a method of warfare."

"Why does the Associated Press,and by extension, the Globe and Mail, mention the Israeli death toll while omitting the Palestinian toll? This is a form of selective reporting that undermines journalistic fairness and treats Palestinian lives as worthless."

"Though the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza does not distinguish between civilians and combatants using those specific terms, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) relies on data from the Gaza MoH to provide detailed breakdowns by gender and age in its official reports."

It was refreshing to read an article that met these basic journalistic standards, which are too often cast aside when writing about Palestine and Israel.

"Given the above, I am concerned that this column, despite its careful tone, unintentionally reinforces a reductive view of Jewish political affiliation in Canada. In doing so, it risks misleading readers and flattening a politically diverse community into a simplified narrative."

"This reflects Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism where the West only recognizes the humanity of “Others” when they reinforce its moral superiority. In a column that claims to celebrate protest, the exclusion of widespread pro-Palestine encampments is telling."

"Mendicino’s refusal to distance himself from Weinstein, even after being confronted about these ties, raises serious concerns about his political judgment and ethical fitness for such a high-ranking role. It is extremely concerning that your report glanced over Mr. Mendocino’s support of the JDL."

"Since Israel began its military campaign on occupied Gaza in October 2023—an assault Amnesty International and other human rights organizations have described as genocide—Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah, consistently expressed strong solidarity with the Palestinian people and Hamas in their struggle against Israeli occupation. He pledged continued support for Palestinian resistance efforts through cross-border attacks, framing Hezbollah’s actions as part of a broader stance against Israel’s decades-long illegal occupation of Palestinian territories, apartheid, dispossession, and forced displacement of Palestinians."
