“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth” is a statement widely attributed to Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, though, ironically, he cannot be definitively proven as the source of the quote.

Nevertheless, that talking point appears to have been enthusiastically embraced by anti-Israel activists, who have ad nauseam repeated baseless allegations against Israel, evidently hoping that if their claims are repeated enough, they will have the desired effect.

This practice was on full display during a November 21 segment of The Current, a CBC radio program hosted by Matt Galloway, in yet another interview with an anti-Israel guest.

Listen to the full segment below:

The guest, Raji Sourani, a Palestinian lawyer, spread the false and dangerous lie of “genocide” against Israel a total of 12 times during the 20-minute interview, not once being challenged by his host to back up his extraordinary and unfounded allegation.

While Sourani’s reflexive use of the “genocide” libel against Israel is as predictable as it is contemptible, it is Galloway’s inability or refusal to challenge him which was even more problematic.

Galloway, whose show has incessantly featured anti-Israel guests and rarely offered much in the way of challenge or even basic context, continued to do likewise in this segment, introducing the topic to listeners by telling them that “U.N. agencies and partners warn that famine is imminent in Gaza,” and that “Israel continues to block much of the aid from entering.”

The juxtaposition of these two extraordinarily misleading comments suggested to listeners that there is widespread starvation in Gaza, and that Israel is the culprit.

However, both of Galloway’s statements were extremely misleading, if not outright false.

While it is true that some organizations have been claiming famine is “imminent” in Gaza, it appears to have escaped Galloway’s notice that they have been doing so for many months, and yet mass starvation and famine has never actually materialized. This should come as no surprise, given that hundreds of trucks filled with humanitarian aid enter Gaza on a daily basis, with experts saying that it provides enough to feed every man, woman and child inside the territory.

But Galloway, selectively choosing his sources, opted not to mention that, nor did he share that Israel has declared that there is “no limit” to the amount of aid that can enter Gaza.

Galloway continued his introduction by declaring that “In October, the Biden administration gave Israel 30 days to meet a minimum requirement of allowing something like 350 supply trucks to enter Gaza each day or risk having some U.S. military assistance cut off. Israel missed that deadline and has not met that requirement, but the United States has not cut off assistance.”

Once again, Galloway failed to mention critical context, namely that the United States did not “cut off assistance” to Israel because it concluded that Israel was not, in fact, in violation of American law, and that important progress was made.

In his quest to peddle the “genocide” slander against Israel, Sourani claimed that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declared that “there is plausible genocide” in Gaza, an oft-cited accusation by pro-Palestinian spokespeople.

However, that is total fiction; the ICJ never made any such declaration, a point made by none other than the president of the court at the time of its interim decision in January, Joan Donoghue. Despite Sourani’s overt attempt to spread utter fiction, he was permitted to do so by Galloway, who was unaware or unwilling to set the record straight.

Matt Galloway’s November 21 episode of The Current was yet another instance of his program giving an uncritical platform to anti-Israel spokespeople spreading patent falsehoods, all while sharing his own one-sided interpretation of events.
