"Misinformation about the history of partition reinforces selective narratives. In this case, these narratives are anti-Palestinian. The article portrays Israel as if it was uniquely victimized or given exceptional treatment."

"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."

"Independent Jewish Voices (IJV), which is quoted late in the article, rightly describes the backlash against Orr as a disingenuous smear campaign. Yet this crucial framing is buried under paragraphs of uncritical propagation of CIJA's narrative with statements from Mayor Ken Sim, CIJA, and the Federation being prominently featured. This creates an imbalanced and distorted portrayal of the issue that violates journalistic principles of fairness and diversity of voices."

"While Netanyahu traveled freely to the United States, he remains the subject of an active ICC arrest warrant and is technically liable to be arrested in any country that is a party to the Rome Statute. His visit to Washington — with complete impunity despite credible accusations of the gravest international crimes — is critical context that should have been included in your reporting."

"Mendicino’s refusal to distance himself from Weinstein, even after being confronted about these ties, raises serious concerns about his political judgment and ethical fitness for such a high-ranking role. It is extremely concerning that your report glanced over Mr. Mendocino’s support of the JDL."

The segment uncritically repeated the Israeli military’s justification for an airstrike that killed three Palestinian policemen in Rafah, claiming they were "armed individuals moving toward forces." Meanwhile, the Gaza Interior Ministry reported that this was a breach of the ceasefire. By failing to question these competing narratives or provide independent verification, the broadcast effectively whitewashes Israeli war crimes.

"The absence of scrutiny in reporting Trump’s statements not only misleads viewers but also normalizes a rhetoric that, under international law, constitutes a textbook case of ethnic cleansing as concluded by Human Rights Watch. This is a grave violation of international humanitarian law that should be reported as such."

The term “resettling” is an inappropriate and misleading characterization of what is, in reality, a proposal for forcible displacement, at best, ethnic cleansing at worst. Language matters, and by using a neutral or even benign term such as “resettling,” your report obscures the severity of this proposal, which calls for the mass removal of over two million Palestinians from their homeland.

A recent Globe and Mail article omits essential context about Israel’s systematic targeting of UNRWA infrastructure, Trump’s genocidal intentions to ethnically cleanse Palestinians in Gaza, and the erasure of the Nakba.

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.
