"This National Post column by Barbara Kay calls for the normalization of the Jewish Defence League (JDL), a far-right vigilante group that is considered a terrorist organization by the FBI in the United States."

"For the above reasons, this op-ed violates basic journalistic standards, even the most limited ones that apply to opinion articles. The author and its publisher should apologize and correct this work of fiction that perpetuates harmful lies about Palestinians and their advocates."

This National Post article uses inflammatory and misleading language to smear Palestinian protesters at Saint John’s Culturefest. The piece frames the demonstration as an antisemitic attack, erases its political context, and presents unverified allegations as fact. Such coverage perpetuates anti-Palestinian racism and silences Palestinian voices in Canada.

"By undermining the credibility of a widely used data source without acknowledging the corroborating evidence, the article violates the standard of accuracy and contributes to unwarranted skepticism of Palestinian sources."

"The article discusses Iran’s network of proxies, which are widely understood to mean groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. To lump PYM into the mix is both unfair and inaccurate."

"Newman weaponizes feminist language to attack Iran’s domestic policies to justify why Canadian support for Israeli military aggression."

"Leslie Roberts published this piece during a sponsored trip to Israel by the Exigent Foundation, a pro-Israel lobbying group with ties to former Israeli intelligence agents."

CJPME supports a neutral, transparent investigation that considers all credible allegations. Calls for accountability are not directed at any group or nationality, but reflect Canada’s legal responsibility to uphold international norms and prevent impunity

"I’m surprised this article is not an opinion piece as you have gone to great lengths to embrace the Israeli perspective and omit the Palestinian view. This of course denies any empathy for Palestinian suffering and attempts to shift it all to Israel as if they are the victims."
