Dear Ombudsman,
The CBC National News this morning had a subtitle about 2 rockets allegedly from Gaza that went into Israel. Where has there been a word about the ongoing Israeli attacks on Palestinians, in occupied Gaza, in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem or within Israel on CBC?
CBC's coverage would lead listeners to think that Israelis were the victims rather than those primarily responsible for the violence.
I am including three articles (from the respected Palestinian Center for Human Rights) that we should have seen references to in your news:
- Israelis arresting two members of the Palestinian legislature because they were the winning party in the last election;
- Israeli attacks on unarmed fishermen fishing within the agreed boundary off Gaza and
- the list of Israeli attacks on Palestinians in just the past week.
Thanks,
Karin Brothers
