“CBC ran sympathetic coverage of a York Region paramedic fired for hate propaganda. She spread blood libel, posting that Israel was ‘luring starving Palestinian children … so they can snipe them.’”

She was supported. Paul — older, male, white, rational, moral — was not. Justice cries out for the intersectional person, not Paul.

I have written to CBC repeatedly since Oct. 7. Here is my most recent letter, sent by snail mail to each Board member and executive:

There was a time when I did not mind paying such high taxes in Canada because of federal support for CBC, for the arts and education. That has all changed since CBC became a mouthpiece for terrorists and those who think terrorists are downtrodden, but also wonderful human beings. Nahlah Ayed and other ‘hosts’ invite guests who find lots of reasons why Israel should be destroyed. They perpetuate the hatred that has infected the rest of the world since October of 2023. They do all of this with CBC’s blessing.

Israel makes mistakes, as every country does. It elects some bad people and some good people to be its leaders. In both Israel and the Diaspora, there are good Jews and bad Jews, as can be said of any population, minority, religion, or sect. They all choose life. Islamists, however, revere death. They cause as much of it among Israelis, Jews and their own people as they possibly can. They teach their children hatred of all ‘infidels’, especially of Jews. CBC makes their job easier by instigating, throughout Canada, hate crimes perpetrated by folks with mental health issues and thugs who enjoy violence for its own sake, people who fail to realize that they are the next target for the Islamists, people who believe everything they hear on CBC, everything they see on social media and TV.  

The ancestors of today’s ‘Palestinians’ made a mistake when they walked away from their lives in Israel at the request of its Arab neighbors. Of course it galls their descendants to see how successful the new nation became, how much better life is for those Arabs who stayed in Israel. Their victimhood is a useful tool for leaders who depend on the world’s sympathy for the huge incomes they enjoy from its largesse. The peace they so often refused would have allowed the ‘Palestinians’ to prosper, but it was more fun to enjoy the adrenaline rush that hatred brings.

As for their supporters, the sense of community with other masked kefiyeh-wearers and the virtue signaling make their day. They will have a reckoning, as did the Germans after the Shoah.  Those supporters will deny their complicity to themselves and to their grandchildren. Israelis and Jews will continue to thrive and to defend themselves.  They have seen the alternative and it wasn’t pretty.

Reason has left the building. Emotion and prejudice have filled the space.

Hmm…. I wonder if this Jew hater spreading vicious blood libels is an indigenous Canadian? Probably not.

Perhaps she should be contacted and asked how she would prefer to be “decolonized” - after all, “decolonization is not just a metaphor”, and Oct 7 showed us just how glorious that decolonization can be, amirite? She can’t possibly argue with that logic.
