Failure to include Palestinian perspectives about Israeli foreign minister‘s remarks regarding the Oslo Accords

"To cover such statements without making space for a Palestinian perspective, however, can contribute to this sidelining. Therefore, I insist that you add a Palestinian perspective to your article."

Article fails to specify the root-cause of the cease-fire in Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp

"The result is that your readers are led to think that the onus of blame is on the Palestinians of Ein el-Hilweh – particularly when you include phrases emphasizing, and I quote, how the camp (rather than those who made it necessary) 'is notorious for its lawlessness'. Yet it is precisely the refusal of Israel to abide by Resolution 194 of the United Nations General Assembly that has produced this intractable crisis."

Photograph misrepresents article's content about the death of a Palestinian child

"This is extraordinarily dangerous. When covering a situation in which six times more Palestinians than Israelis have been killed, a photograph reflecting this reality is in order. We insist that a photograph credibly suited to the coverage replace this one."

Biased article uses misleading language to define Israel's violence in the occupied West Bank

"We insist that Palestinian public opinion about their oppressors – notwithstanding Israeli vetoes on PA elections – be covered in your work. Palestinian support for resistance in these circumstances is a fact that responsible journalism must cover."

One-sided article uses misleading language regarding Israel’s military occupation of the west bank

I insist that future coverage provide more balanced sourcing and give Palestinian sources the opportunity to describe events on the ground rather than rely strictly on Israeli ones.

Thanks for providing balanced coverage regarding settler violence towards Palestinians

"Your coverage of this story allows your readers to learn about yet another alarming incident of settler violence towards Palestinians, and how they are increasingly escaping any kind of recourse or punishment."

CJPME acknowledges that our offices, located in Montreal, are on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka (Mohawk), whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.  CJPME recognizes the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka as the customary keepers and defenders of the St. Laurence River Watershed and its tributaries. We honour their long history of welcoming many Nations to this beautiful territory and uphold and uplift the voice and values of our Host Nation.  Further, CJPME respects and affirms the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land. CJPME has and will continue to honour the commitments to self-determination and sovereignty we have made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.  CJPME also acknowledges the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believes that its work should contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share together.
