Social media users circulated a video clip of a Canadian blogger talking about the ban on the Canadian news channel CTV, which is one of the most widely spread channels in the country, of the word Palestine on all its platforms.

The blogger mentioned that the channel informed its journalists to ban the word Palestine during live broadcasts and on the channel's social media accounts.

He added that the channel prohibited the circulation of news about calls for a ceasefire in Gaza during the past week.

Social media users commented on the blogger's talk, criticizing the double standards with which Western media deal with the aggression on Gaza.

On its part, a Canadian human rights center stated that the channel censors critical stories about Israel and refuses to cover the marches.

It continued that CTV instructed journalists not to use the word "Palestine" and planted a "culture of fear" that suppresses critical coverage of the Israeli war on Gaza, according to internal emails and interviews with many employees.

Journalists said that senior producers and senior editors across Bell Media platforms, the owner of the channel, belittled Palestinian guests, told staff that protests demanding a ceasefire should not be reported, and blocked or delayed stories that included much contextual information about the Israeli army, the occupation, and the apartheid regime.

Journalists, who remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, described the widespread bias in the media conglomerate against Palestinians that resulted in one-sided and incomplete coverage of the violence in Gaza, which causes "significant harm" to Canadians.

One employee said that Bell Media platforms regularly invite Israeli government and military officials to attend, but rarely invite sources who can talk about the state's occupation and apartheid from organizations like Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International, but if it is the Ukraine war, this type of guest will be asked to attend all the time.

Employees mentioned that the channel management instructed staff on October 10 on how to write about the violence, asked them not to use the word "Palestine," and provided a politically charged confirmation that Palestine... does not currently exist.

Last week, the British newspaper The Guardian received a wave of criticism for its coverage of the truce agreement between the Israeli occupation and the Palestinian resistance.

The newspaper headlined its coverage by saying: "The hostages who will be released are women and children, and the Palestinian detainees are also women and people aged 18 and under."

This definition prompted followers of the newspaper to sharply criticize and question naming Israeli children as “children” while Palestinian children are "people under 18."
