Failure to mention Israel‘s violation of international law regarding airstrike on Aleppo airport

"Israel fails to remotely approach such a threshold, making its strikes on Aleppo’s airport nothing other than acts of aggression. The article’s failure to properly contextualize Israel’s actions normalizes its brazen contravention of international law, tacitly accepting its belligerency and undermining of peace."

Inadequate coverage regarding Ben-Gvir's politics of hate against Palestinians

"It is not enough to bury at the end of your article a reminder that “Ben-Gvir hung a portrait in his living room of a Jewish man who fatally shot 29 Palestinians in the West Bank in 1994.” The order, emphasis, and human texture of your material needs to reflect the facts."   Continue reading

Biased article ignores Israeli violence and falsely describes Palestinians as "violent aggressors"

"The way that your article is written, particularly paragraph # 2, gives the impression that the Israeli military was acting in self-defense against a group of violent Palestinians.
