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.

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?
"Heil Hitler," they chanted in presence of @CalgaryHerald reporter, but she didnt report it . http://t.co/4BYkcCwLY6 pic.twitter.com/X6kOiUXBZS

@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.

@TarekFatah @TGCTS @calgaryherald The Herald wouldn't print the story.

@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.
