A CBC producer is lifting the veil on how the broadcaster whitewashed Israel’s horrors in Gaza.
In a tell-all essay, she describes the inner workings of newsrooms where double standards and biases sidelined the truth—before she resigned in protest.

Please inform yourself before jumping on this bandwagon. It was Spider-Man for Palestine who climbed the barricades. He climbs everything. The hospital wasn’t targeted. It was on the way to the US embassy.
Yesterday, the Mount Sinai Hospital was targeted because of its ties to the Jewish community in Toronto.
This is not okay.
Hospitals are a place for healing - not a target for protests.

Everyone is condemning Hamas. They are saying what no-one in power is saying. Condemining Hamas is not enough. What about Israel’s non stop bombing of residential areas and cutting off food, electricity and any help. There are atrocities on both sides of this.

They must unequivocally condemn violence and acknowledge that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Hamas are slaughtering Israeli civilians.

When my father went bankrupt in my last year at McGill 1967 I applied for a loan to pay my tuition. Back then the university provided the loan not a bank. The officer asked “how can you need a loan. You’re Jewish?
As an anti-zionist Jewish academic from Montreal, I want to express my solidarity with McGill protestors. As for the University making Jews feel safe, the antisemitism is inside the house:
It had a ban & wider quota in place from 1920 until the 1960s.
