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\\u2019s response to photojournalist Amber Bracken\\u2019s wrongful-arrest lawsuit, which somehow finds a new way to wring controversy from the term \\u201coccupation.\\u201d

Correction: A previous version of this episode featured claims of an altercation between an alleged Israeli police officer and Arabic-speaking reporter, elements of which Canadaland has since not been able to verify.

Clarification (Nov. 6, 2023): Further clarification has been added to our web post.

Host: Jonathan Goldsbie
