UPDATE: After this alert was published, this Global journalist rushed to delete her offending tweets and to block HonestReporting Canada on Twitter, but not before we screen grabbed her offending posts which have been sent to Global News directly.
HRC is appalled to see a video journalist from Global News, Zahraa Al-Akhrass, publish a series of tweets accusing Israel of targeting Palestinian civilians and killing children.
Warning: The tweets and images below are graphic.
We recently exposed how Ms. Al-Akhrass and other Canadian journalists signed an anti-Israel open letter accusing Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and of carrying out indiscriminate attacks on Palestinians.
HRC has already filed a complaint with Global News calling on the broadcaster to address the anti-Israel bias of its video journalist, Zahraa Al-Akhrass and we encourage you to do the same. Please send your concerns directly to Global News’ Director of Communications, Rishma Govani: Rishma.Govani@globalnews.ca.
So #Israeli forces kick worshipers while praying in #Jerusalem, and they target civilians and kill kids in #Gaza, but @AndrewYang “proudly” supports #israel. Shame. #GazaUnderAttack #Palestine #SaveSheikhJarrah pic.twitter.com/ekGTTQQiJq

#Israeli soldiers know what they’re doing is wrong. Deep down in their hearts (if they have ones) they know they wouldn’t want someone to steal their land from them. Here is one speaking up for you. #Palestine #GazaUnderAttack #Gaza #SaveSheikhJarrah pic.twitter.com/Qqp8vi4vyZ
