"Conflating these slogans as antisemitic, we believe, meets the legal definition of anti-Palestinian racism as defined by the Arab Canadians Lawyer Association. Anti-Palestinian racism dehumanizes Palestinians and their allies, slandering them as inherently antisemitic for criticizing Israel or opposing the state’s political actions such as committing a genocide in Gaza."

Jerusalem, Occupied East Jerusalem in particular, is generally accepted as Palestine’s capital city. Bethlehem is a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank. Including a quote falsely claiming that Bethlehem and Jerusalem are not part of Palestine signifies the deliberate spread of misinformation or poor research. It also requires a clarification.

"While the National Post has published an endless stream of articles focused on Hamas firing rockets at Tel Aviv which did barely any damage and thousands of articles solely recounting the Israeli perspective of the events on October 7, it is baffling that there has been no mention of the recent massacre of civilians in Rafah today"

"While Kay complains about “toxic femininity” in Western feminism, this is what she exudes with her opinion piece. Her islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism are just all too normalized and harmful while she provides no evidence to back any of the claims she makes."

If Canada’s attribution is the reason you’ve made a broad-brush generalization of Hamas as a terrorist entity, then that needs to be made clear in your article. Otherwise, your vocabulary insinuates a moral judgment, which is inappropriate in any article not labeled as an op-ed.

"The National Post neglected to mention that the new figures included in the UN brief represent fully identified casualties, not a revision or reduction of previous estimates.Their headline is false and must be changed. The claims in the article that reflect this problematic headline also require clarification"

Ever since October 7, anti-Palestinian racism has been rampant in the media. However, since Gaza solidarity encampments began springing up on campuses around North America, virulent racist columns have become all but normalized. Supporters of Israel's apartheid regime feel the pressure, and they are lashing out. 

"Accusations of antisemitism against Hamas’s new charter cannot be made that easily. Yet, you choose to mention their 1988 charter to accuse it of anti-Semitism and, again, further your point that the Edmonton Pride Center has praised them and that it’s being antisemitic. Please remove this sentence from your article, as it is not relevant and accurate to write outdated information to prove your point."

"The article refers to al-Nakba education as “partisan lies” and “politicized content on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.” The title of the piece, “Twistory, not history,” undermines the historical significance of the Nakba and implies that its teaching and commemoration is a distortion of historical facts. All these examples amount to Nakba denial, which is a pervasive form of anti-Palestinian racism."

It is concerning that such an article is labeled as news, although it does not provide any perspectives other than those of the Network of Engaged Canadian Academics (NECA), especially Deidre Butler, its co-chair. This article is a platform for their views and opinions that remain unchallenged or proven throughout the article.
