Palestinian journalist at Global News says she was fired over social media posts

Canadian-Palestinian journalist Zahraa Al-Akhrass said she was fired from her job at Global News over her social media posts, which included pro-Palestinian hashtags. In a video uploaded to her Instagram page on Sunday, Al-Akhrass said she was approached by management on 17 October and was told her posts made her look “unbalanced” before being asked to take them down. She also said that in addition to her social media posts, another reason for her firing was that she sent a graphic image of a dead Palestinian baby to an employee who had asked her to cooperate in an investigation about her social media activity.
