Western media bias towards the Israeli narrative is rooted in decades-old reporting practices that privilege official military sources, embed journalists with occupying forces, marginalise local voices, and repeatedly turn war coverage into an extension of state power.

Canadian mainstream media manufactures consent to support Israel through biased language, withholding historical context, and conflating any criticism of the Israeli state with antisemitism. When the Canadian mainstream media covers the question of Palestine, they usually frame it as a religious issue and withhold the historical and socio-political context.
