"The ”room” that Caddell accuses Elghawaby of having “lost” has been indifferent and discriminatory to Muslims and other racialized groups for far too long.  Far from losing it, Elghawaby has been a clear voice for reform and change, and to Caddell’s horror, the room is starting to listen."

"This is not merely an Israeli “counteroffensive” on the occupied Gaza Strip. Israel has been waging a year of genocide. Please name it as such, or at the very least, refrain from perpetuating euphemistic language that downplays Israel’s one-year of brutal attacks and violence on Gaza."

CJPME Media Analyst Anthony Issa publishes a Rebuttal in The Hill Times Exposing Anti-Palestinian Racism and pinkwashing in Pride Coverage.

Mr. Issa’s letter was written in response to a recent op-ed that falsely accused pro-Palestinian protesters at Pride events of being antisemitic.

In his letter, Issa dismantles the claims that equate Palestinian solidarity with antisemitism, exposing the misuse of Pride to shield Israel’s apartheid policies from criticism.

The letter also emphasizes the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the importance of preserving the intersectionality of Pride, ensuring that all marginalized communities, including Palestinians, are embraced and protected.

CJPME remains dedicated to challenging anti-Palestinian racism in the media ensuring that platforms like The Hill Times provide a fair and accurate platform for diverse perspectives on Palestine.

On August 8, 2024, CJPME sent a letter to the editor (LTE) to the Hill Times in response to Gwynne Dyer’s August 5 opinion piece: “Netanyahu’s game.”

In his opinion piece, Dyer argued that Netanyahu is acting in a way that could provoke a regional war.

However, we took issue with one particular sentence: “A pretext for that soon presented itself in the form of a random Hezbollah missile in the usual tit-for-tat along the Israeli-Lebanese border that killed a dozen young Druze who were playing football” in the form of an LTE sent on August 9.  

The LTE was published on August 14, 2024, in the Hill Times, debunking that Hezbollah is behind the missile that killed a dozen young Druze.

You can read the LTE here.

It is always encouraging to see CJPME’s LTEs published in the Hill Times to set the record straight on Israel’s actions.

"Many experts have indicated that it would make no strategic sense for Hezbollah to launch an attack on the Golan Heights. Since 1967, the Syrian Golan Heights have been occupied by Israel. Hezbollah is an ally of Assad."

"It should be clear that not all the Israelis were killed by Hamas given the use of the “Hannibal Directive” on October 7, as recently exposed by Haaretz on July 7th.The Hannibal Directive was ordered across the Gaza Division network, stating, "Not a single vehicle can return to Gaza." This directive was understood by the military to mean that extreme measures would be taken, even at the expense of the lives of kidnapped individuals."

"This armchair analysis and presumption of a lack of protest against the ongoing “carnage” in Gaza is ultimately decontextualized from the actual reality on the ground."

"The Hill Times published an excellent Op-Ed that provides a balanced report on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It effectively highlights the ongoing silencing and intimidation of Palestinian and pro-Palestinian voices and bravely sheds much-needed light on the stark contrast between Canada’s historical stance against apartheid in South Africa and its current silence regarding Israel’s war in Gaza."

Housefather’s tweet, including the picture of the poster you link, reads: “My family has been there since the 19th century, and we have indeed helped build this country. I am not going anywhere. Sorry antisemites. You may not like what I have to say but I will keep saying it and I will keep being a proud Jew and a Zionist.”

"I felt that Mr. Cnockaert’s article on unfinished Parliamentary business (“Foreign interference bill passes, but online harms and citizenship bills left on hold until House comes back”) gave a very one-sided perspective of the Online Harms Act, Bill C-63. By choosing to interview only Shimon Fogel, CEO of the pro-Israel Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) about the bill, the article falsely suggested the bill was an open-and-shut case of 'good law' vs. 'evil Internet content.'"
