For the Associated Press, Palestinian testimonies seem to be worth less than Israel's claims
"Consistently giving priority to statements provided by Israel’s military and deliberately excluding testimonies provided by witnesses or Palestinian officials is a blatant double standard and perpetuates Canadian media’s tendency to assign the burden of proof to anyone but Israel."
