Yes… the Israeli police have done it again. This morning they shot and killed some hapless Palestinians. Is this not proof of the Nazi like tactics of the Jews? Oh sure they say that it was precipitated by an attack against some Jews in a synagogue. Don’t you believe it. We don’t know what happened there. The Jews – once persecuted by the Nazis have themselves become Nazis. It is they who are the terrorists.
The above narrative might as well have been written by the anti-Semites at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC).
Here is what they wrote on their Twitter feed:
Jerusalem police fatally shoot 2 after apparent synagogue attack
Oh… they are reporting the story more accurately on TV and on their website. But it doesn’t matter. Their anti-Semitic bias has been exposed for the entire world to see.
This is no simple error. This is a deliberate attempt to paint Israel in the most negative light. As a brutal occupier that kills innocent Palestinians for practically no reason at all. Just to teach them who’s boss! A tweet like that sends this message exactly. And they know it. It casts the Israeli police as virtual Nazis. Which according to them is what this Jewish nation of occupiers has turned into.
Even Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas condemned it. Not to mention Secretary of State John Kerry who called it an act of pure terrorism. Hamas – as expected – has praised it. I guess the CBC sympathizes more with Hamas than they do with even the PA!
They may eventually apologize for this tweet. Even profusely. But again it doesn’t matter. Their bias has been exposed for the entire world to see. They will never have – nor should they have – any credibility again on any story coming out of Israel. In fact I wouldn’t give them credibility on any story they report. It is one thing for personal bias to enter ones reportage of a story. That is usually unintentional and can be forgiven. But this was intentional and was done with the agenda of de-legitimizing Israel.
You would think that rational and professional journalists wouldn’t do things like that – despite their bias. There is little doubt in my mind that the CBC didn’t know that a synagogue was attacked and blood was spilled before the police showed up. But – again – it didn’t matter. They had to skew the facts with a deliberate negative twist against the Jewish people on the story.
Furthermore, I do not buy the distinction that is often made between being anti Israel and anti-Semitic. It is true that the 2 can be separated and one can criticize Israel without being an anti-Semite. But I believe in most cases the motivation is anti-Semitic. The burden of proof that someone who made critical comments against Israel is not anti-Semitic rests on the person who made them.
Case in point. The Obama administration has been very critical of Israel’s settlements policy. But they are clearly not anti-Semitic. Their actions speak louder than their critical words. The enormous military and intelligence cooperation between the 2 countries is unprecedented. Not to mention the US funding of Iron Dome.
But when there is statement by a news organization like the CBC made which is negative in its entirety without any reservation… such as their tweet this morning on Twitter, that tells you what they really think.
I am thoroughly disgusted by these people. There is little they could say or do now to dissuade me of the anti-Semitism that permeates their thinking. Even if they got on their hands and knees and said ‘I’m sorry!’
