Thousands turned out in Toronto on August 16 to call for a full two way arms embargo and accountability for the more than 200 journalists killed by Israel. Not a single corporate Canadian media outlet was there to cover it. Not one.

Israel's playbook:

They make up a lie; Western journalists spread it like wildfire; diplomats and politicians loudly repeat it; the general public believes it; there's brutal retaliation; eventually they admit it never happened. Without fail.
