Despite extensive evidence of CBC’s aggressive anti-Israel bias, some reporters at the publicly-funded broadcaster appear to be embracing the outlet’s overt ideology, acting as a de facto spokesperson for the anti-Israel cause.

Barely two weeks after reporting on local reaction to the ceasefire announcement in Gaza, but interviewing exclusively Palestinians while utterly ignoring Israeli perspectives, CBC Hamilton reporter Aura Carreño Rosas was back at it, giving lengthy and sympathetic coverage to a group of activists from Brantford4Palestine, who are organizing a project to “help feed people in Gaza,” in her November 7 article “Mohawk and South Asian women in Brantford, Ont., area partner to fundraise for Gaza.”

Ostensibly offering background to readers, Carreño Rosas wrote that “in early October, Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire deal that would allow aid trucks into the Gaza Strip two months after famine conditions were confirmed in a UN-backed report.”

This extraordinarily misleading statement implied that it was only with the recent ceasefire announcement that aid trucks would enter Gaza. In fact, over the last two years, well over 100,000 trucks’ worth of aid had entered the territory. As for the “UN-backed report” that alleged famine, Carreño Rosas omitted mentioning that the authors had radically changed their metrics for measuring famine for Gaza, in spite of extensive evidence to the contrary, and that their apocalyptic predictions never materialized. That and a so-called “famine” was said to be occurring in Gaza City only, not the Gaza Strip entirely as mis-stated by the CBC’s reporter.

Carreño Rosas’ entire article is virtually indistinguishable from a paid advertisement for Brantford4Palestine and their ‘humanitarian’ fundraiser, telling readers that their auction of anti-Israel memorabilia helps raise funds for groups like The Sameer Project.

But even a casual glance at The Sameer Project’s social media shows that it is a fanatically anti-Israel pressure group that spreads the “genocide” lie, claims that Palestinian terrorists in Israeli prisons are “hostages,” and calls for the destruction of Israel, or in its terms, “the occupation falls, and Palestine is freed, from the river to the sea.”

It is entirely unsurprising, then, that the Brantford4Palestine fundraiser, despite its facade of being humanitarian, features merchandise that depicts the elimination of Israel. As featured in both a photo in the story and an embedded link to the group’s Instagram page, one shirt shows a keffiyeh-clad person waving a Palestinian flag over the entirety of Israel, with the caption “Generation after generation until total liberation,” indicating the elimination of Israel.

Another item clearly visible reads simply “intifada,” referring to the Palestinian campaign of terrorism that took place in the late 1980s and again in the early 2000s, which saw well over 1,000 Israelis murdered.

Once again, Carreño Rosas opted not to inform the public about this extremist rhetoric and imagery, instead opting to characterize the entire project as a feel-good initiative helping to raise funds for needy people in Gaza, when in reality it is an effort to demonize Israel and funnel money towards an extremist group that calls for the destruction of the Jewish State.

Earlier in 2025, Aura Carreño Rosas reported on the one-year anniversary of the anti-Israel occupations that plagued McMaster University, but instead of providing background on the fringe and radical claims of organizers, she turned CBC News into a free publicist for the activists.
