Feedback on today's article "Terms of U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal remain unclear as some attacks continue"
"Based on the abundant information available about Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon that was available even at the time this Associated Press article went to press, it should be revised to include that not only that 'attacks in Iran and Gulf Arab countries resumed on Wednesday,' but also, that Israel continued to attack Lebanon after the ceasefire was announced on Tuesday and Wednesday."

Feedback re: 75 weeks of protest: The battle at Bathurst and Shepherd
"To accuse someone at a pro-Palestine rally of doing a “Nazi salute” but not confirm it fuels hate, feeds into stereotypes of pro-Palestinian supporters and promotes anti-Palestinian racism. It does not have a place in responsible and fair journalism."

This includes 'defaming Palestinians and their allies with slander such as being inherently antisemitic' in order to silence their narratives and advocacy."

Feedback on today's article "Iran's nuclear constraints were more diplomatic than technical. Then the bombs started dropping"
"The article provides a relatively detailed description of Iran’s history of nuclear enrichment, and includes expert analysis on Iran’s political strategy in relation to nuclear power. This kind of analysis is timely and important, and I hope that it will be referred to in other, future articles where space for such context is more limited."
