CJPME would also like to applaud Projet Montréal for their integrity and advocacy on this crucial issue.

"The claim that Dr. Moss left Montreal due to rising antisemitism in the city contradicts a report published yesterday by Mr. Derfel on the same story. In yesterday’s article, Mr. Derfel stated that he reached Dr. Moss by phone, but that the surgeon declined to give an interview or to explain his reasons for leaving Montreal. The rest of Mr. Derfel's article relies almost entirely on anonymous sources allegedly close to Dr. Moss, and speculating that he may have left due to antisemitism."

"Mr. Derfel describes the anonymous sources vaguely as 'sources close to Moss' and 'a source.' This description is vague or whether the sources have any personal, political, or institutional biases that might influence how they frame Dr. Moss's departure. As it stands, given the breaches of CAJ standards due to the use and framing of anonymous sources, this article does not meet the threshold of serious journalism."

"As reported by CBC and other mainstream outlets, Canadian flotilla activists were bound, taunted, and forced to kneel on the ground in footage shared publicly by Ben-Gvir last week. Ben-Gvir also stated that the activists should remain imprisoned for a 'long, long time.' This context is directly relevant to understanding why MTL4Palestine protesters were targeting him specifically."

"The article concludes by quoting an Israeli claim that says 4,200 aid trucks are being allowed per week. This is also a lie that should not be printed without being countered. The Israelis were supposed to let 4,200 trucks in per week (600 per day) as part of the ceasefire deal which they violate daily. We all know this never happened and it’s not happening now."

Ms. Look’s statement referencing murder and Allah is Islamaphobia and has no place in the article. Even in the context of opinion, including it violates CAJ’s principles of impartial and fair reporting. It adds nothing to the argument other than fanning the flames of hatred against an increasingly marginalized group.

I think in all fairness if you are going to label one group “pro-Palestinian” then you should label the other group as “anti-Palestinain” or “pro-Israel”. 

"While Hanes makes the important distinction between criticism of Israel and antisemitism, quoting former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that Israel is committing war crimes,an implicit bias is evident as she quotes only Israel boosters like Warren Kinsella. Why are Palestinian Canadian voices or anti-Zionist Jewish Canadian voices absent from this piece?"

"I understand the challenge of conveying complex motivations in a limited word count. Still, a more detailed description of the strike’s aims would provide readers with a clearer understanding of student intentions and allow for more informed public discourse."
