Article fails to specify that Iran's attack on April 13 was in response to Israel's strike on Iranian embassy
"Shortly after Israel’s offensive attack, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations released a statement that Iran “reserves its legitimate and inherent right under international law and the United Nations Charter to take a decisive response to such reprehensible acts”."

Nakba marks the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, not their "mass displacement"
"I would, therefore, recommend editing the sentence to the following: 'The Nakba marks the ethnic cleansing and forced expulsion of Palestinians from their land to establish the State of Israel in 1948.' At the very least, please replace 'mass displacement' with 'forced expulsion'."

Pourquoi votre article ne mentionne-t-il pas que deux civils ont été tués et que l'ambassade du Canada à Damas a été endommagée dans l'attaque d'Israël sur le consulat d'Iran à Damas?
"Il est dommage de lire un passage réduisant la sévérité de cette attaque au nombre de morts des membres des Gardiens de la Révolution. Non seulement le commandant de la force Al-Quods au Liban en en Syrie, Mohamed Reza Zahedi, était parmi les victimes de l’attaque d’Israël sur le consulat d'Iran à Damas, mais des civils aussi."

Correction needed to specify that 33,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel
"When you refer to Israeli hostages, prisoners, and deaths, you clearly identify the perpetrators as Hamas. Yet, you fail to identify Israel as the perpetrator when you report that ‘33,000 Palestinians have been killed in retaliatory attacks’.

Israel did not "capture" East Jerusalem, they illegally occupy it
"The term “occupy” denotes tension and a sense of contestation, which is far more appropriate. Similarly, the consistent reference to settler encroachment on Palestinian land as “contested” and not “illegal” is misleading to readers. Please make edits accordingly to maintain minimum journalistic standards."

Article fails to explain what people are protesting about
"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."

Article depicts double standards in framing of Iran and Israel
"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'."

Correction needed to specify that Hamas is not responsible for all the deaths on Oct. 7
"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."
