Wines from Occupation

CBC.ca has an article today on the false labeling of wine made in the occupied territory of Palestine as "made in Israel".

West Bank wine controversy continues as Canadian challenges 'Made in Israel' label

It is a long article and leans over backward to try to be fair to Israel, and as a result is unbalanced and inaccurate.

The issue is simple. The wine is not made in Israel, so it should not be labeled as such. This contravenes Canadian law, and it does not matter what Zionists say, their love of Israel and all its crimes, should not be allowed to trump Canadian law.

The issue is that the Zionists got their way. They over-ruled Canadian law. This is scary and unacceptable.

The headline makes it sound as if one Canadian is against the system, but he is supporting the Canadian system. CBC should be backing him as a defender of Canadian democracy, rather than presenting him as an outlier with a personal campaign.

But CBC is more interested in defending Israel's interests than Canadian interests so this article is just typical CBC reporting.

North Korean Nuclear Threat?

CBC.ca had this headline today:

How should Canada deal with North Korea's nuclear threat?

What an absurd headline! It is fear-mongering and war-mongering and it is typical CBC failing in its role.

The threat of a nuclear confrontation comes almost entirely from the USA. North Korea will ONLY act in self-defence. So if there is a "threat" it is from the USA.

CBC should stop aping the corrupted US media and tell a Canadian story, not a typical US war-mongering story. Otherwise why do we need CBC?

North Korea

Although this blog is supposed to be about Palestine and Israel, I just want to mention how sickening CBC coverage is of the current North Korea coverage. It is just repeating US nonsense, and thus warmongering like the US Government. This does not serve world peace or Canadian interests.

There is no North Korean threat separate from US provocation. North Korea is like a mouse, and the US an elephant. All this media nonsense about a North Korea threat is just warmongering hype, and CBC is repeating and echoing it.

Look at this headline today:

North Korea will have Guam attack plan ready by mid-August, military statement says

'Americans should sleep well at night,' Rex Tillerson says, as Trump boasts about nuclear arsenal

The Chinese have told the US that the problem can be solved if there is a "Freeze for a Freeze". That is if the US stops its constant threats and provocations against North Korea, that North Korea will freeze its nuclear activities. But the US keeps insisting that the Norh Koreans should render themselves helpless, before the US will talk to them. This is a nonsensical negotiating position.

CBC should be highlighting the "freeze for a freeze" proposal, not just ignoring it, in favour of the nonsense coming out of the US.

This is Canada, not the USA, and we need to reduce the level of warmongering, not echo it.

CBC - Israeli Government Echo

Look at this paragraph in today's CBC article:

"Israel's Foreign Ministry said on Monday that a security guard at the country's embassy in Jordan opened fire, killing two Jordanians, after being attacked by one of them with a screwdriver."

Absolutely unbelievable. One screwdriver. Two people killed.

But for CBC - if the Israeli Government says it, it must be true.

Why "Israeli Government SAID"? Why not 'ALLEGED", or "CLAIMED". Especially when what was "said" is so preposterous, it should be qualified. If it were any other government, including Canada's, saying anything so questionable, CBC would use "alleged", but not with the Israeli Government.

CBC's mis-use of language

All Israel news all the time. There are almost 200 countries in the world, but CBC covers Israel as if it were a Canadian province - although it usually ignores Israel's daily crimes against Palestinians and highlights Israel's victimhood.

In an article today there is this sentence:

"Many of Jordan's seven million citizens are of Palestinian origin. They or their parents or grandparents were expelled or fled to Jordan in the fighting that accompanied the creation of Israel in 1948."

The reason that there are so many Palestinian refugees in Jordan is because of ETHNIC CLEANSING carried out by Israel. You "EXPEL" a naughty child from a school. The Palestinians were not "expelled" - they were driven out of their homes, having committed no crime warranting this foul treatment.

And the reference to "the fighting that accompanied the creation of Israel" - that was pretty one-sided fighting, and it was all really a cover to allow the ethnic cleansing to happen.

And perhaps it might be worthwhile to note in this context that Israel refuses to allow these people to return to their former homes. After all what is the point of an ethnic cleansing if you let people return?

Killing Palestinians is not news for CBC

Further to my post on the disgustingly biassed article about the two killed Israeli policemen, I should add the fact that just one day before this incident, two Palestinian teenagers were killed by Israeli troops. This was reported by Reuters, but CBC ignored it totally.

Here is part of the Reuters report:

The Palestinian health ministry said the two Palestinians killed by the troops were aged 21 and 16, and that a third person was shot and wounded in the leg. 

Camp residents made no mention of any Palestinian gunfire in their accounts of the raid in which they said rocks were thrown at the troops. 

Mohammed Sadee, who lives in the camp, said he witnessed one of the Palestinians being shot. 

"The military jeeps were driving in and this martyr was behind them on a motorbike. They shot him ... and he fell to the ground," he said.

CBC headlines the death of two Israeli occupiers in illegally occupied territory, but completely ignores the murder of Palestinian teenagers the day before by these same occupiers.

CBC really should be taken to court for its biassed coverage of Israel/Palestine issues. The people on staff at CBC who do this lopsided reporting have ZERO INTEGRITY as journalists. Unfortunately it is likely that many of them know exactly how dishonest they are being, but are working for a higher cause - Israeli (Jewish) nationalism.

CBC - Only Jewish Lives Matter

Here is a headline on July 14:

2 police officers killed in shooting near Jerusalem holy site

Area is known as Temple Mount to Jews and Noble Sanctuary to Muslims

You need to actually read the article before you find out that 5 people were killed not two. The other three were Palestinian resistance fighters.

But CBC thinks only the lives of Occupation police matter. The lives of those who suffer under their occupation are hardly worth considering. 

This is a perfect example of CBC's grotesque, racist bias.
