Why Was This Not in CBC.ca?

A Canadian citizen, clearly marked as a medic, was shot by Israeli snipers. His rescuer, another clearly marked medic, was shot in the chest and died. This information is relevant to Canadians, ands it clearly shows the criminality and brutality of Israel's behaviour, but it was not a top item in CBC.ca; it was not even an item.

It was a side story in "As it Happens":

Canadian shot in Gaza says he was 'clearly marked' as a doctor

CBC made a big deal, published over several days, of Abbas saying some things that seemed to sound anti-Semitic.That was big news for CBC. How terrible that the Palestinian leader says nasty things about Jews. It would be much more newsworthy if Abbas said nice things about Jews, considering the suffering Israel Jews and their Diaspora enablers, have cause Palestinians. That was hardly real news.

But when a Canadian is injured, that should be treated as top priority real news, but CBC chose to mostly ignore it.

CBC works for Israel, not for Canadians, and this is omission makes this very clear.

CBC Gives Equal Time to Israel???

CBC has this quote from US Ambassador Nikki Haley:

The U.S. defended the action of its allies at Tuesday's UN session in New York.

"Who among us would accept this type of activity on your border? No one would," U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said. "No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has.

She is grotesque. She sees blood and children dying and she calls it good. Just a week ago she was crying crocodile tears over Syrian children, saying she is a mother who knows the suffering of mothers. She is not a mother. She is a monster. She sees Palestinian children dying and she feels nothing. Absolutely nothing.

She calls snipers with zero threat to themselves butchering Palestinians like in a turkey shoot and she calls this "restraint".

The CBC photo of her walking out of the room says a lot about her ethics. If only we could see the back of her permanently.

BUT UNTIL CBC EMPHASIZES THE FACT THAT NOT A SINGLE ISRAELI SOLDIER OR CIVILIAN RECEIVED EVEN A SCRATCH IN THIS CONFRONTATION,  ALL CBC REPORTING IS CORRUPT.

CBC, headline OK, but lots of bad text

CBC got the headline right, for a change:

Palestinian death toll rises in protests against U.S. Embassy opening in Jerusalem

At least 55 demonstrators killed by Israeli soldiers during protests along Gaza border

But the text is rife with quotes from Israelis that are pure nonsense, and they are not adequately balanced with a bit of truth from the Palestinian side.

CBC quotes Netanyahu who says the killing of unarmed protesters is a legitimate act of "self-defence", and that Israel acted violently because of the fear of a breach of the border fence. Bullshit - Israel just wanted to scare the Palestinians away from carrying out their legitimate protests. Israel was never at risk for one second.

CBC also quotes Israeli sources saying Palestinians were actually at the border fence and trying to cross. This is almost certainly a lie. This action would be purely suicidal and accomplish nothing. Yet CBC quotes Israeli sources saying there were "significant" incidents at the border fence. At least CBC put this in scare quotes, because it almost certainly untrue, but why even publish this?   

Why all these Israeli quotes, but not even a sentence to highlight the fact that not a single Israeli suffered a scratch or a bruise, while they killed 80 unarmed people. Is this not a relevant fact, more worthy of publishing than a litany of Israeli lies.?

CBC Not Reporting, Not Even a Scratch

CBC glibly writes about violence on the Gaza border:

Dozens killed near Israel-Gaza border fence as U.S. celebrates Jerusalem embassy

Hamas has suggested a border breach is possible; Israel says there will be dire consequences if so

But CBC fails to mention that not even a single Israeli soldier received even a single bruise or scratch. This is relevant information, but CBC prefers to talk ambiguously about violence, somehow pretending that both sides are being equally violent. Note "dozens killed" but omitting the words "by Israeli snipers".

Also the sub-heading includes the bullshit claim that Hamas was threatening a border breach. This will not happen, because Hamas knows they are not facing the British in the time of Gandhi, but they are facing an army that will cut every unarmed man, woman, and child down with massive firepower if the border is actually breached.

Stop pretending that the people of Gaza are suicidal. Breaching the fence would be pure suicide. Israel will show not an iota of compassion for anyone that crosses the border and the Palestinians know this.

And CBC knows this too, but it keeps repeating that nonsense claim that there will be a border breach.

This nonsense claim gives the supposed justification for Israel to commit slaughter on the border - on the Gaza side of the border. They are pretending to be SO AFRAID of the Palestinians. Either the Israelis are the biggest cowards on the face of the earth, or they are the most heartless killers. Which is it, CBC?

CBC - Echoing Israeli Propaganda

The Zionist propagandists are making much of a supposed threat of a mass breach of the border fence with Gaza, and of course CBC is helping them.

Israel boosts Gaza border force as U.S. prepares to open Jerusalem embassy

This breach will not happen, because it would result in the mass murder of thousands of Palestinian civilians - yes, thousands. They will not breach the fence because they know how brutal, racist, and vicious the Israeli military would react. It would accomplish nothing except mass death.

The real issues that CBC will never publish are these:

1) How desperate the Israelis know the people of Gaza are, and they have made them. If the Israelis really believe that they will breach the wall (which they do not), they must also believe that the people of Gaza are suffering so much that they would welcome mass death. If the Israelis really believe this, where is their conscience that they make this happen?

2) Everyone knows that the Israeli military would freely commit mass murder of border breachers without blinking an eye - so much for the supposedly moral army. Everyone knows this - so the breach will not happen.

3) What Israel fears, and the only thing that Israel fears, is the bad publicity that they will receive if they commit mass murder. Israel is a country founded on a pile of lies and propaganda, kept believable by the mass medias like CBC, but if that barrier of falsehood is ever breached, Israel could collapse. 

Israel does not fear the people of Gaza, Israel only fears the Truth. But CBC will work overtime to suppress the Truth about Israel.

CBC Using Language to Hide Reality

This was published today:

"As we've seen in the last seven Fridays, we've seen Palestinian protests, and more than 40 Palestinians have been killed, many shot by Israeli forces as they made their way toward the border fence that separates Gaza from Israel."

The demonstrators were never the slightest threat to the Israeli border, but this quote suggests that they were killed as they were approaching and threatening to cross the border. That is bullshit. They were never the slightest threat to Israel's security. So it was cold-blooded murder. And it suggests that "many" were killed by Israel, but not all. Well, who else was shooting at the Gaza protestors?

How do CBC reporters sleep at night when they publish lying language like this?

These are weaponized words. These words kill children. Shame on CBC.

CBC Rotten Reporting

Look at this today:

Next week's Gaza demonstrations will mark Nakba, a Palestinian day of mourning over Israel's 1948 founding, and are designed to be the culmination of six weeks of marches to the border.

Any decent person would understand that the Nakba refers to the suffering off the Palestinians in being driven out of their homes and into refugee camps.

CBC rephrases this as if Palestinians are just nasty people who are troubled by someone else;'s happiness.

CBC stopps so low so regularly.
