"Your article beautifully expressed how the Pope’s calls were a beacon of hope for the Palestinian Catholics living in Gaza. The passing of the Pope is the loss of a voice that reflected the wishes of 1000’s of Canadians; that our government demand an immediate ceasefire, that humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza be restored and that the remaining hostages be released."

"What is particularly alarming is that, in at least one broadcast (April 13’s CBC Newsroom with Marianne Dimain at 6:15), Anna Cunningham cited the Israeli military's claim that Hamas violated international law. Hamas has accused Israel of a war crime for this attack — yet this claim was not mentioned."

"This framing is misleading and dangerously euphemistic. Israeli officials are not facilitating the voluntary departure of Palestinians from the occupied Gaza Strip but are forcibly displacing Palestinians—a practice that constitutes ethnic cleansing and is explicitly condemned under international law."

"I want to draw your attention to the fact that many Palestinians held by Israel are detained under administrative detention, a practice in which individuals—many of them minors—are imprisoned indefinitely without charge or trial. These detainees are not prisoners in the conventional sense but rather individuals denied their right to a fair trial and due process. Your reporting omits this crucial information and fails to acknowledge that the ceasefire deal also included the release of Palestinian prisoners and detainees."

"Too often, mainstream coverage relies on passive voice—phrases like “more than 48,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza”—which misleads readers into believing Palestinian deaths occurred in a vacuum. This erasure numbs the public to Israel’s ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity, reducing Palestinian deaths to mere statistics and shielding Israel from scrutiny and accountability."

"If you are not willing to make the change, I would ask that you explain to me why you have a different standard for reporting on Russia’s war strategy than you do on Israel’s war strategy?"

Will the CBC choose to do the right thing and air No Other Land, or will it continue its complicity?

The coverage is overwhelmingly centered on the Israeli perspective, with extensive reporting on Israeli hostages and their families while omitting mention of the thousands of Palestinian detainees, including children, held in Israeli prisons—many without charge or trial. This one-sided approach fails to provide viewers with a full and balanced picture of the hostage-detainee exchanges. Palestinian hostages deserve coverage equal to that given to Israeli hostages.

"Although Israel has not ratified the Rome Statute, the ICC has jurisdiction over war crimes committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) because Palestine acceded to the Rome Statute in 2015, making it a state party to the ICC. As a result, Israeli officials can still be prosecuted for war crimes under Article 8(2)(b)(i) of the Rome Statute, which prohibits intentionally directing attacks against civilians not taking part in hostilities."

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.
