the CBC should be taken off the air for their biased "national" reporting. A network that is the seed of the Canadiangovernment should not be taking sides when reporting on a story. the CBC has had countless complaints from citizens throughout Canada for their favouring of the Arabs/Pals over Israel in the way they report 'the story', and for their sheep like programming that only mimics the BBC - once again another national farce!
One might expect that in approaching the controversial topic of the Middle East, the CBC would carefully avoid giving even the slightest impression of taking sides. It is all the more surprising, then, to discover that in the very first sentence on its Middle East homepage, the CBC introduces Canadians to a decidedly one-sided version of history:
“Since May of 1948 when the modern state of Israel was proclaimed, the land has had two parallel histories, one for the Jews who control the state and one for the Palestinians whose homeland the nation was built on.”
The CBC thus introduces the topic as a power dynamic, in which Israelis have all the power and Palestinians are a victimized people dispossessed of their land. In this CBC version of events, the Palestinians are the obvious owners of the land on which the Jews run the show.

My friend is a news writer for the CBC's research division and she tells me the department gets both complaints from arabs and jews regarding the conflict. The shit that CBC has had to censor regarding the destruction of palestine would make your stomach churn. If they showed it, jews would scream "anti-semetism"! I wish the ossociated press had their own network!
And with respect to that quote, Israel WAS built ontop of what WAS palestine...that is a fact. There was no Israel (excpet the one 2000 years ago) before 1948. Palestinians were dispossesed of their land, what do you think happened....they voluntarily got up and said.. "hello jews, come into myhouse, live in it, while i walk to lebenon and live in a tent for 56 years"
