What do you expect?

CBC's Derek Stoffel won a Zionist journalism prize for his Middle East reporting, so his latest article published on CBC.ca fits his pattern;

U.S. allies in Middle East welcome Trump's missile launch

This article makes no mention of the dangers to the entire world, INCLUDING TO CANADIANS, of Trump's attack on Syria. It goes on at great length how happy the Israelis are about Trump attacking another neighbour of Israel. Does Stoffel really believe Canadians are happy to risk WWIII just to make Israelis happy?

The facts that Stoffel ignores are that Trump was breaching international law; that the US action is only likely to make things worse in Syria, and that Trump is risking a war with Russia. So what if all this makes Israel so happy! Israel also pays no attention to international law, and Israel wants to see the situation in Syria get worse, so of course Israel is happy.

But when will CBC begin to report events that threaten the lives of Canadians from a Canadian perspective, rather than a Zionist one? We can only hope that day will come.

Small Potato Gets Big Cheese Coverage

Why does CBC headline an article with a big picture of Netanyahu when it refers to the reaction of a dozen different countries, every one of them bigger and more important than Israel?

Here is the headline:

Netanyahu 'fully supports' Trump: World reaction to U.S. using cruise missiles

Britain, France and Israel express varying degrees of support; Iran and Russia opposed

I will spare you the ugly picture of Netanyahu.

CBC consistently gives Israel and Netanyahu coverage that they do not deserve. It must be a conscious attempt to legitimize and aggrandize this petty fascist and his Apartheid country. Why does CBC want to do this?

Repeating Falsehoods Good Propaganda

CBC refuses to tell the truth about how Hamas took over Gaza. Here are its words on April 7th:

"Hamas has executed 25 people sentenced under its judicial system since 2007, when it took over Gaza in bloody street battles from forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas."

The truth is that Hamas won the Palestinian elections but Fatah, under Abbas, tried to deny them their democratic victory. They lost the West Bank to the unelected Fatah by force, but were able to keep Gaza only by fighting for what they had already legitimately won.

There must be a reason why CBC refuses to tell the truth here.

Shameful?

How many times has CBC published Netanyahu's inane claim that the UN vote on settlements was "shameful"? Over and over again, as if there was an iota of substance in his claim. It is like propaganda. Repeating something without substance to make it seem meaningful. CBC insists on doing propaganda for Israel. Why?

How in the name of Heaven is criticizing a thieving aggressor and protecting its victims "shameful"? Why not at least explain how this inane claim can be justified? Instead just keep repeating it!

Where in all the reporting is there a meaningful analysis of the impact of the settlements on the lives of Palestinians and any possibility of peace? Instead CBC insists on publishing tripe, like did Obama conspire on this resolution. This is irrelevant compared to the meaning of the resolution itself which CBC prefers to dodge.

Why not ask the simple question why no sanctions have been included in the resolutions? The UN sanctions Iran. Why not Israel? That would be a vastly more meaningful question than whether Obama has colluded.

More on CBC support of Theft

Another comment on yesterday's article:

West Bank outpost of Amona prepares for clashes as Knesset considers bill

'The land is the heart of the Bible land, and we're very attached to all our history'

 

CBC quotes the Palestinian whose land was stolen saying he will not accept financial compensation for his stolen land. This statement stands alone - it may even seem like the Palestinian is being unreasonable.

But what CBC fails miserably to do is to add absolutely essential context.

The Israeli settlers did not just steal a plot of land. They stole this man's livelihood. Also they are a part of a process that is stealing this man's country from him. And this means they will also steal his civil rights and his dignity.

Of course he is not interested in some financial compensation. How can money pay for all the harm these settlers are doing?

Also the article, like normal for CBC, fails to adequately describe the kinds of people that are the extremist settlers. These are people that make Nazis look good. They are racist, driven by nationalist ideologies that care nothing for human rights of others or basic human decency, and are probably some of the worst people on earth today. These are the kinds of people for whom CBC wants us to have sympathy.

CBC Sympathy for the Thieves

On December 6, CBC.ca published this article:

West Bank outpost of Amona prepares for clashes as Knesset considers bill

'The land is the heart of the Bible land, and we're very attached to all our history'

Although the article does refer to the international scorn rightfully directed against the residents of Amona and Israel's proposed Regulation Bill which makes their theft legal, the overall tone of the article is highly sympathetic to the perpetrators of this crass act of theft.

It begins by quoting the thieves, letting them justify their theft, and concludes with more quotes from the thieves in which they threaten violence if their own violence is reciprocated.

If CBC was an honest journalist, the focus of the article would not be on the "suffering" and strong resolve of the occupiers of stolen land, it would be on the grotesque ethics of the Regulation Bill and the moral bankruptcy of the occupiers. It also should focus a lot more on the suffering of the Palestinians whose land is being stolen, and who are entering the 50th year of statelessness and a brutal, unjust occupation.

How could CBC get its morals so inverted as to think the thieves deserve our sympathy more than the dispossessed? Grotesque!
