In typical biased fashion, CBC has taken the displays of open revulsion by thousands of people around the world at Israel's barbaric attack on Gaza, and tried to misrepresent it. Instead of noting the decency of these protesters and their cause and the fact that 99% of them were peaceful, CBC emphasized the violence of a few incidents that occurred.

There were some confrontations with police in Paris, largely caused by the restrictions put on legitimate demonstrations by the Paris authorities. These limitations were largely inspired by incidents that happened earlier in the week that were mostly caused by the actions of violent Israel defenders in Paris (which of course, CBC would not report).
This photograph looks like events were straight out of a war zone. It is even likely that it is a false photo, or photo-shopped.
There is NO WAY that this photo is an appropriate portrayal of the fact that so many people are so offended by Israel barbarism that they have come out of their comfort zone and taken to the streets to demonstrate.
When it comes to defending Israel, it seems CBC has no bounds and certainly no journalistic ethics.
