As an Exigent Voice he is expected to promote “Exigent’s educational mission and public-interest work.” All of the above constitutes not only the appearance of bias, but a material conflict. 

Referring to the occupied Palestinian territories as “what the UN global body calls them” reproduces precisely a form of anti-Palestinian erasure that fails to acknowledge Palestinians as an Indigenous people with a collective identity with rights in relation to occupied and historic Palestine. It is also misleading and inaccurate and merits a correction.

The National Post has yet again published an opinion piece by Terry Newman that reads as a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda.

The headline itself begins by using scare quotes around the word Nakba, which violates the Canadian Press Stylebook. CP Style does not employ such quotes to indicate non-English words. They are only used to indicate that a word is being used ironically, sarcastically, or with skepticism. So, from the get-go, you adopt the point of view of one side of the debate.

The article is one-sided and fails to meet journalistic standards of fairness and balance laid out in the Canadian Association of Journalists ethics guidelines. 

"Vivian Bercovici criticizes Prime Minister Carney for describing Israel's presence in southern Lebanon as an illegal invasion, yet fails to inform readers that since the start of the ceasefire on November 27, 2024 through February 28, 2026, the IDF had carried out 855 strikes across Lebanon."

I appreciate that this is an opinion column. However, Mr. Bezmozgis’ claim that ‘systematic sexual and gender-based violence” occurred on October 7 is not factually based and relies on a report whose findings have been subject to substantial criticism and debunked by credible researchers.

"The National Post's latest article frames the Nakba as an event that never happened. In its coverage of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights exhibit, the piece claims the Nakba was a voluntary departure or a deserved consequence of war. This framing actively erases the documented mass displacement and forced expulsion of Palestinians from their homelands."

Racism, discrimination and violence against any group should not be tolerated. For that reason, I was disappointed that your article failed to mention the violence that the pro-Palestine protesters have experienced at the Bathurst and Sheppard protests. For example, Gabriela Bodiz and Eli Schwartz were both arrested and charged with assault with a weapon in November, 2025.

"While Israel has denied responsibility for the attack, the exact cause of the explosion at Al-Ahli is still disputed. The findings of Forensic Architecture (FA) were 'inconclusive' following extensive research. FA noted that 'the Israeli military launched an aggressive disinformation campaign…. [and] Israel has yet to provide any conclusive visual evidence to support the claim.' FA also found that 'Israeli intimidation and attacks on medical infrastructure, including hospitals, has been systematic and unrelenting' since October 7."
