"A CBC News article on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire downplays Israel’s genocidal intent in occupied Gaza and omits key context. It fails to mention Gaza as a territory occupied by Israel. The article profoundly misrepresents Hamas policies, as well as Israel's relationship with the Palestinian Authority."

"As said by the late Malcolm X, whose philosophy inspires me deeply: “So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.” Guided by his call to speak out, I raise my voice now out of profound frustration with media outlets such as the CBC that fail to hold Israel accountable. This lack of accountability is evident in your headline that uses language that does not mention Israel as the Zionist entity committing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip."

"If Kinsella hopes to have a clearer view of apartheid, he should tour the other side of the wall: the segregated roads, checkpoints, and demolished Palestinian homes in the Occupied West Bank. Then, perhaps, he will finally see it."

"Given that Amnesty International has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip, please refrain from using the term “war.” It is neutral and fails to capture the intent behind Israel’s genocidal campaign in the occupied Gaza Strip, which is not merely war, but deliberately destroying Palestinians to further their settler-colonial agenda, covered under the guise of Judaism."

"I am raising this because it is the responsibility of the media to approach such claims with skepticism and independently verify allegations made by Israel, particularly when they are not substantiated by credible evidence. In fact, these claims are often contradicted by statements from Hamas and, as noted by the OHCHR, could not be verified by an independent third party."

Mr. Parry then answered by providing the Israeli defence of its crimes with zero context, with no skepticism that challenged the Israeli narrative, nor any mention of anti-war Israeli human rights groups that supported the conclusion of Amnesty International’s report. His reporting was one-sided, unfair, unbalanced, out of context, and thus, unethical.

CBC's reporting on Gaza’s growing lack of humanitarian aid excludes the fact that Israel's blockade of the strip has denied the passage of basic goods like diapers. Israel’s role as the occupying power means it has the legal responsibility to ensure the safe delivery of aid.

Using the words ‘anti-Israeli-intimidation’ or ‘anti-Israeli related intimidation’ to frame your headline and opening statement is blatant misinformation and a factual inaccuracy.This is a very tense time especially for the Jewish, Arab, Muslim and Palestinian communities. Using language that is inaccurate and inflammatory does not help to ease the tension and does a disservice to both the Minister and the public in general.

"Your use of “Jerusalem” to refer to the Israeli government is simply an inaccurate interpretation of the terms of the agreement. I urge you to correct this factual mistake as soon as possible."

"In October of this year, I complained to CBC about not clearly stating that Gaza is occupied. Editors rejected the complaint. I asked CBC's Ombudsman to look at the case. He said he can not make decisions about omissions. How will CBC address these concerns?"
