Unfounded claims made by anti-Israel activists continue to be treated, not as unfounded allegations by radical activists, but falsely presented as gospel truth by many Canadian news media outlets.

A July 1 broadcast for CBC News entitled: “Palestinians caught between starvation and danger at aid sites,” featured Senior Reporter Tom Parry jumping on the bandwagon of repeating accusations made by pro-Palestinian campaigners that aid workers with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) have been shooting Gazan civilians.

Watch the full segment below:

The report began with Parry, showing clips inside a hospital room in Gaza, telling viewers that “the constant fear in Gaza – hunger and disease.” That is not a factual statement, but a matter of opinion. Huge amounts of humanitarian aid enters Gaza on a daily basis, supplying enough goods for the entire population, despite the fear-mongering rhetoric often presented in the news media. In fact, so much food is entering Gaza that entrepreneurial locals have even created upscale restaurants.

Only one individual was interviewed for the report, Bushra Khalidi, a representative from Oxfam based in the Arab city of Ramallah. Oxfam might call itself a humanitarian organization, but it is a radical anti-Israel group that spends huge sums of money buying social media advertisements with the exclusive intention of demonizing Israel. Its representatives, despite ostensibly wanting aid to be sent into Gaza, have been very busy speaking to Canadian news media outlets, attacking Israel’s humanitarian efforts.

In her comments, Khalidi bellowed that “we’re seeing Palestinian civilians being massacred every single day,” followed by Parry stating that according to the United Nations, “more than 400 people have been killed” at food distribution sites in Gaza.

No expert who could have rebutted this claim was interviewed, continuing a widespread practice of CBC News to wholeheartedly platform pro-Palestinian talking points and largely downplay other voices. Not only was there only one perspective offered, Parry did not mention that while there are claims of shootings at distribution locations in Gaza, these allegations come from a small handful of sources, including a local Hamas official, and cannot be verified.

This lack of verification has not stopped CBC News from producing report after report repeating these same allegations, all while virtually entirely ignoring these consequential details and failing to interview anyone who could challenge these claims.

Instead, this report featured a hysterical statement from Khalidi saying that the situation is “nothing short of horrifying.” Such talking points might resonate with a Western audience, but it is extremely inconsistent with many of the scenes seen from inside Gaza, where despite 21 months of a Hamas-launched genocidal war, the vast majority of the population functions, albeit not exactly as it did before. Families and children are smiling, brand-new smartphones are being delivered, restaurants are functioning, and lives go on. Gaza is not the apocalyptic hellscape that anti-Israel radicals would have the public believe.

To the degree that there is suffering in Gaza, the responsibility for that falls squarely on the shoulders of Palestinian terrorists, both for starting the war on October 7, 2023, by continuing to hold Israeli hostages, and for stealing aid from the population in Gaza.

Parry’s report gave only the briefest of mentions to Israeli statements that Hamas has stolen aid, a brief blink-and-you-miss-it line, yet devoted extensive time to Khalidi’s wild-eyed depictions of Gaza.

This is Parry’s second report in June which gives overwhelming focus to Gazan claims, while all but entirely sanitizing out any mention of Palestinian terrorists.
