Your focus on the fact that the amended motion contains no commitment to sever institutional ties with Israel is a necessary demand for balance.

Let’s not forget this situation is not rooted in crop failure, drought or UN funding reductions. The core of the problem comes from a single source; a cruel Israeli siege. Something your article does not directly mention except when it is alluded to in the second photo and its caption. Nevertheless we appreciate that you are keeping Canadians informed of this terrible situation.

"Both Marcy Markusa and Caitlyn Gowriluk deserve thanks for their thoughtful and in-depth analysis of the exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights that tells the stories of displaced Palestinians."

"Nous vous encourageons à continuer de la sorte, donnant ainsi une meilleure visibilité à la réalité actuelle de millions de Palestiniens, et de ce fait, une meilleure sensibilisation pour le grand public et votre audience."

In a media landscape marked by efforts to not only minimize Palestinian suffering in the current situation, but also to erase Palestinian identity and heritage, we appreciate such an article, which highlights readers about the continuity and survival of Palestinian culture.

"Coverage of these events too often relies on passive or agent-less constructions, such as '10 killed in strikes,' that leave readers unsure of who acted and who was harmed. Your headline does neither. It states plainly who carried out the strike and identifies those killed as Palestinian, giving readers an accurate starting point for understanding the story."

Mr. El Akkad’s book One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is crucially important to unpacking how we can respond to our current period of western complicity in genocide. I appreciate you giving program time to him and his thoughtful analysis of our politically corrupt climate.

Your article, which directly quotes Amira Elghawaby, the federal government’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, accurately highlights that this incident is a blatant attempt to portray Canadian Muslims and communal prayer as threatening and dangerous. Your fair and accurate reporting shows that such content is undeniably Islamophobic and contributes to the growing climate of fear and hostility towards the Muslim community in Canada.

"The current situation is a result of actions by a series of extreme right wing Israeli governments who have had their ‘foot on the neck’ of Palestinians through their 16-year blockade of Gaza and the 56-year occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

"Amidst the recent events unfolding and a lack of nuanced media coverage, thank you for meeting your journalistic standards and contributing to a more balanced media environment in Canada by giving space to Palestinian voices."
