Palestinians were on TV a lot in Canada just after October 7. We were all waiting for them to denounce Hamas for the genocide they committed. It didn't happen.
Then Palestinians started protesting a Jewish community in Toronto. There's an Israeli consulate in Toronto, but instead of protesting there they protested a Jewish community. Wait, why are they protesting Canadian Jews? I thought this was just about being against Israel, not about being against Jews?
Then they started trying to burn down Jewish businesses. Hold up....
Attacks on synagogues have increased dramatically.
Hmmmm... why oh why aren't they giving these groups more airtime?
Also the news has similar policies on calling a certain region of India to be Khalistan, or a certain region of Iraq and Turkey to be Kurdistan. They'll mention the Khalistan movement but won't refer to the region to be Khalistan. And nobody is upset about that because no one expects a news organization to take up an activist cause.
They certainly did show the words "Free Palestine" that was spray painted on the doors of a Jewish owned business that some assholes tried to burn down. So no, the word Palestine is not banned, they just don't call the region Palestine because it's not the place of the news to take part in an activist cause. And the actions of the people in this movement doesn't really create a lot of sympathy from people that aren't stuck in an information silo.
