‘Hail Hitler’ chanted at Israel supporters, media ignores [video]

Calgary Herald reporter Erika Stark failed to mention that Palestinian supporters protesting a pro-Israel rally chanted “All hail Hitler” to the Jewish crowd. Stark apparently heard it but tweeted only that she “shouldn’t tweet” what they were saying.

Pro-Palestinian supporters are here across the street. Tensions rising. They're shouting things I shouldn't tweet. pic.twitter.com/ibNAzhLc9x

If Stark included the “Hitler” chant in her article it didn’t make it past Calgary Herald editors. This is what was in the online version of the article.

“Stop killing our kids. Give us food, give us water, give us shelter,” said one Palestinian supporter who refused to give his name to reporters. “Put religion and politics to the side. Kids are dying. That’s the main thing why we’re here.”

That’s pretty much the same as “all hail Hitler,” don’t you think?

@erikamstark You heard them yelling "Heil Hitler" at these Jews and refused to report it – why haven't you handed in your resignation yet?

@TarekFatah @calgaryherald Pretty sad when PC dictates what should or shouldn't be printed. We're all adults here, right? Report the facts.

@bcbluecon @JohnnyJesus @erikamstark The @calgaryherald is known for LW puffball journalism.

Good thing for citizen journalists.

 Editor’s note: The headline has been changed to more clearly indicate that the “Hail Hitler” chant was directed at supporters of Israel by pro-Palestinian protesters.
