During her November 2024 visit to #Canada, #UNSpecialRapporteur #FrancescaAlbanese presented an opportunity to probe #Canada’s #legal obligations and #Israel’s atrocities. #CBC #ignored Albanese’s calls for a #Canadian audit of #collaborations with Israel,
#failed to cover her report documenting Gaza’s “scorched-earth catastrophe,”
and did not report that her meetings with #Canadianofficials were #abruptlycancelled, which she attributed to “very vocal, very virulent, very aggressive” pressure from #pro-Israellobby groups. These #omissions deprived Canadians of #essentialknowledge that might have compelled political action.
The #CBC also #suppressedcoverage of the deliberate #attack on Gaza’s #healthcare system. Letters from US and Canadian health care workers warned of the methodical #destruction of medical infrastructure, yet the network ignored them.
