CBC’s About That segment refuses to call Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide or acknowledge that Trump’s proposed plans for the remaining survivors in the strip amounts to ethnic cleansing. While the video mentions forced displacement and mass killing, it avoids framing them as part of Israel’s deliberate policy to permanently remove Palestinians from their land. Continue reading

The National Post published an article from the Jewish News Syndicate wire service rife with propaganda that whitewashes Israel’s genocidal campaign in the occupied Gaza Strip and West Bank.  Continue reading

This piece undermines widely accepted casualty reporting by Gaza’s Ministry of Health and fails to consider the difficulty of institutions collecting data in a genocide. Such writing amounts to genocide denial. Continue reading

"In response to our own note of concern, CJPME received a reply from the paper's editor, informing us that he would have Peacock write a follow-up piece that resolved the issues. Unfortunately, that article still falls far short. Canada's subsidies for local newspapers is supposed to support "civic journalism," not repeated anti-Palestinian narratives." Continue reading
