"Perhaps it would’ve been helpful for readers to know that Scotiabank is a major investor in Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems. There has been a widespread call for a global boycott of Scotiabank for its ties to this arms company which has directly contributed to the genocide and occupation of Palestinians." Continue reading

"Despite overwhelming evidence that Israel attacked Iran’s consulate in Syria, including the New York Times reporting that several Israeli officials confirmed this to be accurate, the strike on the consulate is still described as 'a suspected Israeli strike'." Continue reading

"Instead of ambiguous statements about Israel’s military assault on Gaza, like writing that it’s caused “widespread devastation,” I’d recommend opting for a more precise and descriptive account." Continue reading

"By writing “‘directly involved’ in the conflict between Hamas and Israel,” you not only undermine how these companies fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza, but you put on equal footing that Israel and Hamas are benefiting from these companies when that is not true.

This death toll is composed of diplomats, military commanders, and others. To write and publish that only two Iranian generals were killed is inaccurate and grossly undermines the scale of Israel’s military strike and its damage." Continue reading

"When it comes to Israel, it's important to remember that far-right politics permeates the structure of Israeli society. Netanyahu represents Israeli society. Recent polls have shown that most rightists and religious Zionists prioritize "destroying Hamas" over the return of the hostages." Continue reading

"The use of the word 'operation' to describe Israel’s military siege on Al-Shifa hospital is particularly problematic. Please precede the word 'operation' with 'military,” or opt for the most specific description: 'military siege'." Continue reading
