CBC Radio’s Day 6 Program Gives Platform To “Nakba” Day Calls For Israel’s Destruction

As Israel recently celebrated its 75th anniversary, anti-Israel activists around the world have marked the occasion with “Nakba Day” demonstrations, protesting Israel’s very existence. While proponents of “Nakba Day” would claim the culprit is Israel, the reality is quite different. “The mass evacuation, prompted partly by fear, partly by orders of Arab leaders, left the Arab quarter of Haifa a ghost city….By withdrawing Arab workers their leaders hoped to paralyze Haifa,” the magazine reported. Hosting this anti-Israel extremist is not the first time that CBC Day 6’s Brent Bambury has given a platform to anti-Israel content. Why is CBC’s Brent Bambury giving such continued coverage to anti-Israel disinformation, particularly “Nakba” day narratives that protest against Israel’s right to exist?
