France vs Israel

Finally after a week of headline news on the Israeli elections, and two weeks before that coverage of the Israeli PM's visit to the USA, there was nothing in CBC.ca about Israel today.

However there was finally one article about the elections in France, where there has been a serious new development in the rise of far-right wing parties.

Is it not reasonable to compare the overblown, extensive news coverage at CBC.ca of the elections in tiny little Israel, with the almost negligible coverage of the French elections?

Does CBC not realise that one-quarter of Canada's population is French and only one percent is Jewish? But perhaps if one looks at English CBC, he will find the reverse; that the Jewish staff outnumbers French ones by 25 to 1.

CBC Selective Reporting on Amnesty Report

The last paragraph of the Amnesty Report, which frequently refers to Israeli possible war crimes, 

 clearly suggests that all countries should refrain from supplying weapons to Israel because it is probably guilty of war crimes. 

Why did the CBC ignore this rather shocking recommendation???

CBC's bias is as wide as a barn door, and only the biased Ombudsman cannot see it.

Headline News

CBC.ca drafted this headline to point a finger of guilt.

Amnesty International says Gaza militants committed war crimes

Unguided rockets, mortars were fired from civilian areas toward other civilian areas, Amnesty says

Amnesty Int'l also found Israel guilty of war crimes. Would CBC draft a headline like that clearly pointing a finger of guilt at Israel?

CBC might mention in an article that Israel was deemed to be guilty of war cimes but CBC would never say this in a screaming big headline.

Any reasonable person would have to admit the Israel's guilt was much greater (killing 500 children), but CBC seems to think we need to accuse Gaza more loudly than Israel.

Can anyone explain this?

Enough already of Israel

After several weeks of Israel headlines every day on CBC.ca, on March 21 the top headline was:

Netanyahu apologizes to Israeli Arabs for election comments

There are 180 countries in the world and Israel is one of the smallest. How is it that Israel is so important that almost 10 percent of every CBC,ca World News coverage over the last two weeks, every day, was on Israel or on Netanyahu?

So what if he apologized! His racism was exposed and that is what is news-worthy.

But CBC.ca thought clearing Netanyahu's ugly reputation was the most important news item in the world today. It is a strange disfunctional world that CBC appears to live in.

It Continues

Over the last two weeks, Israel has been a headline news item in CBC.ca.

On March 22 there was this headline article

Israeli president calls for healing after divisive election

But in every article CBC bias shines through - it is always, Israel this and Israel that, with virtually no mention and clearly no real concern for the plight of the Palestinians.

This latest article is NON-NEWS. It is strictly a meaningless statement from a powerless Israeli politician that is published in CBC to try to make Israel look better than it really is.

The relevant fact is that the majority of Israelis are racist, and military aggressive, and the electorate in Israel has to be seen as the problem, not just the politicians. Where does CBC ever even suggest this?

Netanyahu and the World

On March 19 CBC.ca has a top headline article on Netanyahu's damaged relations with the world community.

The article is written as if the Palestinians are just an irrelevant element in the far background of the issue.

CBC shows its bias here again. The real issue, in fact, the only relevant issue, is the fact that the situation for the Palestinians has become worse; that the abuse they suffer will escalate, and there is no hope for justice for them. This is what CBC should be trumpeting.

Instead CBC is focusing on the relationship between the monstrous Netanyahu (and the monstrous Israeli electorate that voted for him) and his relationship on the MAMBY-PAMBY international community that has given justice for Palestinians nothing but lip service.

Clearly CBC is concerned about Israel preserving its phony reputation status in the world as a normal, decent country. CBC does not care what Israel does at home to its victims. CBC does not want to see Israel revealed for what it really is, and this is why THIS is the issue, not the worsened plight of the Palestinians.

Israel Israel Israel

Every day CBC.ca headlines the Israeli elections.

What other tiny country on the other side of the world gets this kind of attention from CBC?

Is this "singling out" of Israel anti-Semitic, or is it the OPPOSITE?

If singling out Israel for criticism can be called anti-Semitic as it is by the Harper Government, what do we call this obsession with the Israeli news?

What is the opposite of anti-Semitism? Is it pro-Semitism?

So it is clear - CBC is pro-Semitic.

And what is the corollary of pro-Semitic in these times in which Israel has declared war on the entire Muslim world? It is Islamophobia.

So it is probably accurate to say that CBC is pro-Semitic and Islamophobic.

How does this serve Canadians? It is beyond me. However it is certainly clear CBC is not working in our interest.
