As the conflict in Gaza and Israel continues to escalate, Pacinthe Mattar sits down with Jonathan to consider the ways in which narratives are shaped, journalists are obstructed, and parameters of discussion get enforced.
They also look at the RCMP’s response to photojournalist Amber Bracken’s wrongful-arrest lawsuit, which somehow finds a new way to wring controversy from the term “occupation.”
Correction: A previous version of this episode featured claims of an altercation between an alleged Israeli police officer and Arabic reporter, elements of which Canadaland has since not been able to verify.
