Additional information

Regarding my post about the CBC article on two Palestinians being shot by Israeli soldiers at the Gaza border fence, I just saw an article by Israeli journalist, Gideon Levy, who writes for the Israeli newspaper, Ha'aretz that said one of the so-called "rioters" who was shot in the head was in a wheelchair.

He had had his two legs destroyed by Israeli bombing of Gaza several years ago and was a double amputee. He was exactly ZERO threat to the Israeli soldiers. He was crippled. He was behind a fence. He had no weapons. The act of killing him was cold-blooded murder.

This is a human interest story. CBC must know of it from the wire services. If an Israeli double amputee had been butchered like this, we can be sure that CBC would make a big deal of it.

Why did CBC not publish this story? Did they think Canadians would find no merit in it, or the opposite, did they fear this story would have a big impact in convincing Canadians that the Israelis are brutal occupiers and murderers. I think the latter.

Who does CBC work for? Apparently it is not for us.

CBC echoes Israeli Government

Who does CBC work for? Why do they repeat nonsense coming out of the Israeli Government as if it had validity. In today's article online about the killing of two young Palestinian demonstrators CBC had this to say:

The Israeli military said thousands of Palestinians participated in "violent riots" along the Gaza border and across the West Bank "hurling firebombs and rocks and rolling burning tires" at Israeli forces. It said troops responded with tear gas and deployed live fire "selectively toward main instigators."

"Selectively targeting" demonstrators, most probably none of whom were any real threat to the safety of the heavily-armed Israeli troops is immoral. It is murder. It is killing young men who are standing up for freedom from Israeli oppression. Why does Israel get to describe it so cavalierly? Why does CBC repeat this crap without comment?

Also these so-called clashes along the Gaza border - the Palestinians never came anywhere near the Israeli side of the border, and they were not "rioting" - they were demonstrating. The Israelis can call it "rioting" , but CBC should not repeat this crap.

CBC's reporting on Israel/Palestine is a disgrace.

Trump recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital

Trump's action is counterproductive and evil, but it is to be expected from such an inferior person. He is an embarrassment to America, and a blot on humanity, but I think comments like the following go too far:

Addressing a meeting of the Arab League in Cairo, Ahmed Aboul-Gheit, head of the League, said Trump's decision ''condemned'' the United States and the president's administration, the Associated Press reported. 

''The decision amounts to the legalization of occupation,'' said Aboul-Gheit,

What Trump has done does not "legalize" anything. It is the foolish gesture of a foolish man governing a foolish country. But he only does his foolishness on behalf of his own foolish country.The USA must be a foolish country to elect and tolerate this fool, Trump. It should have no meaning to the rest of the world.

The main implication of Trump's action should be to demonstrate the irrelevance of the USA. The USA is a pariah state, that is a danger to humanity, and the rest of the world must begin to treat it accordingly.

Stop honouring Trump's stupidity and ignorance with terms like "legalization". He must be treated for the irrelevance he is, and the irrelevance he has made America.

CBC at it again

In today's article, 

Pressure grows on Palestinian officials to end payments to prisoners and families of 'martyrs'

CBC posted three huge pictures of Israeli victims of Palestinian violence. CBC humanizes Israeli victims, but virtually ignores Palestinian victims. CBC does not report that Israel kills 5 Palestinians for every Israeli killed by them. If CBC was balanced we would see huge pictures of Palestinian victims. But CBC always presents lopsided coverage, humanizing the Israeli victims, who are the oppressors, and ignoring the Palestinian victims, who are the oppressed.

Also the article focusses on a few convicted Palestinian killers, but ignores the fact that payments are also made to Palestinians killed by Israelis, often killed in peaceful, non-violent protests.

Stoffel is earning his Zionist prize for reporting - he is totally without scruples.

What message?

CBC's headline is so stupid;

U.S., South Korea, Japan boost military exercises to send message to North Korea

The only messages the three countries are sending to North Korea are: Hurry up with your nuclear program. Make it your highest priority, because we will soon try to kill you. Your only hope of saving yourself is having a nuclear deterrent.

But CBC's headline plays into the asinine US position that somehow North Korea is the threat - not the US.

Lying CBC headline

The United States is threatening North Korea with annihilation, but US media and CBC keep claiming that somehow North Korea is the threat.

North Korea is trying to demonstrate that it will not be a cakewalk for the Americans like Iraq or Libya. If the US attacks them, there will be severe consequences even though the North knows that they will lose and be destroyed.

North Korea is not the threat. The US is the threat to the whole world.

Since the end of WWII, the US military has killed about 20,000,000 people around the globe, most of whom were non-combatants, women and children. The same mass murderers and serial child killers that called the shots in Iraq, like Mattis, would love to add another million notches to their gun in North Korea, but they are scared off only by North Korea's nuclear weapons.

It is no wonder the North Koreans are testing and flaunting these weapons,. The message is clear: US Murderers -Leave Us Alone."

But does the CBC present the story like this?

Todays headline is a good example:

UN ambassadors call for tougher response on North Korea

"Ambassadors" is plural, but according to the article only the US Ambassador said this. Nikki Hayley is a right-wing extremist that should never be listened to. Her claim that North Korea is "begging for war" is absolutely ridiculous and absurd. The fact that she would say this shows she has no understanding at all, or she is a war-mongering liar.

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.
