Article highlights fringe groups fueling Islamophobic narratives

"To equate HT’s ideology with violent extremism not only misrepresents their stated principles but undermines the credibility of your reporting. Such framing conflates peaceful political advocacy with terrorism, perpetuating sensationalism over substance. If we are to foster informed and meaningful public discourse, accuracy and nuance must take precedence over fear mongering rhetoric."

Unfair coverage of Hassan Diab case

"It is troubling that your article fails to highlight these crucial details, instead framing Dr. Diab’s situation in a way that reinforces unproven allegations through your clickbait headline and leading paragraph."

National Post calls Gaza casualty figures "phony"

The National Post published an opinion piece by Jesse Kline that dismisses Gaza's casualty figures as "phony," relying heavily on a single, right-wing, highly questionable study by conservative think-tank the Henry Jackson Society (HJS). This piece undermines widely accepted casualty reporting by Gaza’s Ministry of Health and fails to consider the difficulty of institutions collecting data in a genocide. Such writing amounts to genocide denial.

CJPME's right of reply following defamatory accusation in National Post op-ed

"We see our work as vital to the functioning of a healthy democracy, one that treats violations of journalistic ethics and standards as a profound issue deserving of extensive attention. To portray these efforts as being opposed to “free speech” or an effort to “silence” perceived opposition is a distortion that can only be made in ignorance or bad faith — I can only hope it was the former."

Pro-Israel groups spread Islamophobic narratives

"The National Post uses the term 'Sharia law' without nuance or explanation which perpetuates Islamophobic tropes that paint Muslim beliefs and practices as inherently suspect."

Concerns over Mr. Gordon's recent article

"These distortions undermine productive discourse and pander to a narrow, one-sided narrative as Mr. Gordon conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. He does so by vilifying dissent as dangerous and hateful and defaming pro-Palestine Jewish groups as 'Israel haters' for 'dusting off their Jewish membership card to use as a shield against criticism, or appropriating Jewish names to lend credibility to their causes.'"

Heavily one-sided article is rife with anti-Palestinian racism

"This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he's the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. If you aren't careful the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." Malcolm X. 1964

Concerns over factual inaccuracies regarding antisemitism and pro-Palestine protests

"Mr. Robertson’s failure to verify claims, along with his omission of critical facts, has resulted in a deeply misinformed op-ed. The National Post and B’nai B’rith Canada must issue a clarification to address these inaccuracies. Mr. Robertson is entitled to his opinions, but his arguments must align with verified facts and a coherent timeline of events."

Far-right Islamophobic group described as "mainstream" Jewish advocacy organization

"In any case, the issue here is fundamentally the double standard. That an Islamophobic, far-right pro-Israel group constitutes the “mainstream” for National Post, but a Jewish advocacy group that challenges Israel’s human rights abuses constitutes a “fringe” position. I’m not sure why National Post feels that they can fairly categorize such groups into these categories, but this letter should highlight how fraught of an effort that is for a newsroom to engage in."

One-sided article on Lebanon-Israel ceasefire

"Your use of “Jerusalem” to refer to the Israeli government is simply an inaccurate interpretation of the terms of the agreement. I urge you to correct this factual mistake as soon as possible."
