Here's the ethics policy for the SF Standard: https://sfstandard.com/ethics-standards/
OK, and? It doesn’t say anything about paid (or otherwise) promotions.

It's like defining Germany as "a state that genocided various groups", or defining Irish nationalism as "a movement characterized by terrorist attacks against British civilians". Whether or not those claims are accurate, they're not defining features of the things we're trying to define. And sure, most Zionists are not Jews because the Jewish population is too tiny to be a majority in almost any political category. S…
The zionist movement has never been peaceful, it has always aimed for violent expulsion of native populations from Palestine. One might argue that socialist or liberal zionism is not overtly jewish supremacist, but in practice they always were so I'd contest that. Unlike the irish they also did not have a reason to exterminate the palestinians specifically, whereas the irish have good reason to resist british influen…

I imagine they forgot to explicitly list that because avoiding undisclosed paid promotions is so baked into the ethics of journalism that saying it out loud didn't cross their minds.
B: Oh noes, it can't be, they have specific policy against that!
A: That policy actually does not have anything about this.
B: Ah, that's because they are so ethical that they didn't even think to mention this in their policy!
Sure, this sounds extremely convincing.
(and of course, nobody ever ignored or tiptoed around a written policy, ever)

No, it is not a democracy. Apartheid states are not democracies, and Israel is not pluralistic, it is fiercely supremacist. And, as it happens, led by at least one convicted terrorist. It wasn't Hamas that "expelled the Jews" in 2005, it was Israel that dismantled its illegal settlements. Right, by the zionist entity Hamas is describing Israel today, but leaves it open whether it might still be a genocidal settler st…
> No, it is not a democracy. Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a multi-party system, independent judiciary, elections and civil liberty. If you believe otherwise, you must be knee-deep in Hamas propaganda, as many Western leftists seem to be. > It wasn't Hamas that "expelled the Jews" in 2005, it was Israel that dismantled its illegal settlements. So Hamas made it illegal for Jews to live in Gaza? Sounds like…
No, international law made it illegal.
It's a stretch to call them "citizens".

Palestinians rejected the UN offer of their own country and tried and failed to destroy Israel. That is pretty violent.

They have been reluctant to give up their homeland, you mean. Yes, resistance to occupation and genocide is usually to some extent violent, because the occupier is extremely violent to begin with.

Because the infrastructure required to document the deaths systematically was bombed to hell.
