"Considering that most of Israel’s actions in Gaza both before and after Oct. 7 qualify as terrorism, labeling Hamas’ actions as terrorism but not Israel’s is a blatant double standard." Continue reading

"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." Continue reading

"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

Again, there is hardly any debate around the world that Iran’s attack was retaliatory, and yet you describe it as an 'offensive'." Continue reading

"On April 3, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 16 people had been killed in the Israeli strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria. 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
