Stop calling it "Hamas-Run"; it’s the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza

"Describing it as the “Hamas-run” Health Ministry is not a neutral designation; it is a politically loaded term that portrays Palestinian hospitals as suspicious and untrustworthy —  as if the facts must first pass through a filter of suspicion."

Thank you for supporting the 'demands' of Canadians

"Thank you for publishing an opinion piece that provided context that readers typically don’t see in reports and articles in the Canadian media. For example, the Palestinian death toll, the investigation by the ICJ in examining Israel’s role in committing genocide and the illegal occupation that Palestinians have been enduring for 77 years."

Globe and Mail uncritically parrots Israeli narratives

"I am raising this because the media has a responsibility to approach Israeli claims with skepticism, particularly when they are not verified by independent third parties. Failing to do so risks amplifying an Israeli narrative that justifies war crimes, specifically those outlined in article 8(2)(b)(ii) of the Rome Statute (1998), which criminalizes intentionally targeting civilian objects, including homes, schools, and hospitals."

National Post op-ed argues Singh and Carney perpetuate genocide "lie"

"The National Post published an egregious piece parroting Israeli propaganda—dismissing the well-substantiated charge of genocide, the gravest crime under international law. This denial comes despite leading international organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, having characterized Israel’s post-October 7 military campaign as genocidal."

Article riddled with unsubstantiated claims about Hamas and UNRWA

"I took exception to the section of the article that discussed Hamas and  the UNRWA. Claims and statements were made in that section without citing any of the evidence that has disproved many of them."

CBC's editorial decisions downplay Israel's genocidal intent and mislead readers

"A CBC News article on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire downplays Israel’s genocidal intent in occupied Gaza and omits key context. It fails to mention Gaza as a territory occupied by Israel. The article profoundly misrepresents Hamas policies, as well as Israel's relationship with the Palestinian Authority."

Media outlets should always question unsubstantiated Israeli claims

"I am raising this because it is the responsibility of the media to approach such claims with skepticism and independently verify allegations made by Israel, particularly when they are not substantiated by credible evidence. In fact, these claims are often contradicted by statements from Hamas and, as noted by the OHCHR, could not be verified by an independent third party."

Concerns regarding radio segment on Hamas and U.N. resolution

"While it’s true that General Assembly resolutions aren’t legally binding like Security Council resolutions, dismissing them as having "no legal weight" ignores their significant political impact. The overwhelming support for this resolution reflects a firm international stance against Israel’s apartheid policies, illegal occupation, and ongoing genocide in Palestine. This echoes the global pressure faced by apartheid South Africa in the 20th century, as the world rallied to demand an end to its regime."

Re: “The Son of Hamas knows what must be done to stop them”

"Kinsella’s harrowing tale of Yousef’s journey from potential Hamas leader to Mossad agent rings hollow when it’s used to legitimize Muslim hate speech. That’s not a very punk opinion if you ask me."

Context & diverse perspectives required regarding Israel’s killing of Yahya Sinwar

"While your article provides some valuable information, it lacks the above context regarding Sinwar’s leadership in Hamas and the critical perspectives necessary for readers to understand the broader implications of Sinwar's death beyond a Western viewpoint. This omission results in a heavily skewed and unbalanced narrative."
