Dear Producer:
 
Today, Thursday, feb 21, 2001, I watched your news at 
10:00 a.m. Halifax time, and saw Neil MacDonald's report from Israel and the 
Occupied territories. His report included the bombing of a Palestinian 
broadcasting station for alleged incitement. He stated that incitement is there 
and went on to quote incitement and racist remarks,made in the Knesset, 
about Palestinians being snakes and should be expelled and treated like the 
Kurds in Iraq. He finished his statement by saying " Or is that free speech?" 
 
Interestingly, I watched your news report, an hour and two 
hours later, at 11:00 a.m.and noon, Halifax time, and surprisingly 
Neil Macdonald's report was amputated after his statement about palestinian 
incitement, and cutting out his report about Israeli leaders' incitement and 
racist remarks in the Knesset.
 
Is this " the free speech" he referred to or is 
this " free CBC censorship?"
 
I think the Canadian public are entitled to have the 
full picture and not a one-sided censored biased 
view.
 
Yours sincerely
 
Ismail zayid, M.D.
