Here are the top stories at today's CBC News website: The ISIS attack in Moscow, Kate Middleton's cancer, a new security law in Hong Kong that Western hypocrites are crying crocodile tears over, and Trump being unable to post a $400 million bond.
The first story on the second tier is "Russia, China reject US-led Gaza ceasefire resolution at the UN." It's not bad, so far as Western "journalism" goes. It is clear that the Russians reject a motion calling for an "imperative" FOR a ceasefire, and not for a ceasefire itself. It mentions that 60% of the children in Gaza are reported as malnourished but then uncritically provides some Israeli-nazi pig saying there's no hunger and that aid is getting in.
The story also mentions a raid on the Al-Shifa Hospital. That raid has its own story with a separate headline: "Israel says it has killed 90 gunmen after raid at Al-Shifa Hospital, an allegation Hamas denies." The story would be much improved by mentioning that Israeli nazis have lied consistently about the hospital being used by Hamas as a base for military operations.
Out of thirty-one stories, the deliberate mass-murder of perhaps 200,000 people and potentially over a million more by starvation in the coming weeks, there are two headlines. Both stories give a respectful hearing to the nonsensical lies of the Israeli nazis. Israel is a protected ally of the USA's and Canada. We're sending them weapons and they're commmitting a genocide and we're yammering like shit-heads about Russia's plans for world domination.
The CBC knows what it's doing. "Sins of ommission." To help Israel perpetrate a genocide.
Jonathan Cook (via Consortium News) lays it all out in "How Western Media Built the Case for Genocide."
Faced with a plausible case of genocide — one being televised for months on end — even the liberal elements of the Western media have shown they have no serious commitment to the liberal democratic values they are supposedly there to uphold.
They are not a watchdog on power, either the power of the Israeli military or Western states colluding in Israel’s slaughter. Rather the media are central to making the collusion possible. They are there to disguise and whitewash it, to make it look acceptable.
Indeed, the truth is that, without that help, Israel’s allies would long ago have been shamed into action, into stopping the slaughter and starvation. The Western media’s hands are stained in Gaza’s blood.

Ajazeera has an interesting bit of video showing The IDF punks and cowards using a drone to kill four unarmed Palestinians walking down a bombed out rubble strewn street. It took them four missiles I believe because their not very good shots. The "chosen ones". indeed.
zoombats,
Thinking about the psychology of these deranged individuals from their sick society I'm reminded of how unhinged Canadians can get when there's a First Nations blockade or protest anywhere.
I think maybe the FN have risen to 4% of the Canadian population, and they enjoy no real autonomy within Canada's borders. It wouldn't take much to make us as murderously hateful to them as the Israelis are to the Palestinians if the FN's numbers were greater and they had more land of their own.
