3. The Targeting

Since October 7, Israel has killed more than 270 journalists in Gaza, the highest toll ever recorded in a single conflict. With international media barred from entry, these journalists have been our only eyes and ears on the ground.

Episode three uncovers how Canadian journalists reporting on Palestine are being silenced through smear campaigns and institutional failures. We hear from Iman Kassam, a former CTV Montreal reporter, whose video story on Indigenous solidarity was erased after pressure from a pro-Israel media watchdog, and Samira Mohyeddin, a former CBC producer repeatedly targeted by the same group for her reporting.

The Target reveals how organizations like HonestReporting Canada weaponize claims of media bias to intimidate journalists and reshape coverage of Israel and Palestine under the quiet complicity of Canadian newsrooms.
