Media Shrugs As Canada’s Allies Slaughter Iranian Children

QUOTE: "Editorial boards have endorsed the U.S.-Israeli war without even bothering to note its youngest casualties."

Media - Davide Mastracci March 7, 2026

EXCERPT: "Twenty children under the age of 15 were killed on Oct. 7, 2023, and those events have dominated the news since. At least seven times that number of children were killed under a week ago, and I can’t even say it dropped out of Canadian news already, as it was barely there to begin with. To the extent that it was, it was almost entirely relegated to throwaway lines, including one where Iranian girls were depicted as “young women.”

So, why is this the case?

I suspect that if you asked these editors they’d never respond by saying Iranian lives are less valuable to them than Israeli ones, or that the murder of Iranian children isn’t as newsworthy.

My baseless hunch is that they’ve huddled in their newsrooms, observed that Iranian state media has been reporting the casualty count, pointed to Zionist conspiracy theories that the IRGC was to blame and then thrown their hands up in the air, content to pretend they don’t know what happened and wait until their daddies in Western governments pass along their spin before reporting on it. This, of course, is the complete opposite of how they’ve treated bizarre claims coming out of Israel since Oct. 7, 2023, which have been repeated ad nauseam, even after being debunked.

Regardless of the reason, the fact is that Canadian editorial boards endorsed a U.S.-Israeli war that killed more than 150 children in one strike within its first 24 hours, and didn’t even give the martyred the dignity of mentioning them as they did so."
