Please take 30 secs to counter pressure on CBS
Sunday, April 22, the famous CBS television show "60 Minutes" broadcast a 14-minute segment on how the Israeli occupation has caused massive numbers of Palestinian Christians to flee Palestine. CBS is coming under intense pressure: from 29,000 complaints from pro-Israel groups; and from the Israeli ambassador, who called the head of CBS News (11 minutes into the special.) Please help us counter the pressure on CBS News, to embolden them to continue to report factually about the Middle East.
Please click here to send an email to CBS News and "60 Minutes" in support of their reporting.
More Info:
While the "60 Minutes" segment on Palestinian Christians does have its weaknesses, it helps to illuminate key truths about the situation in Israel/Palestine. The documentary can be viewed here and additional commentary on the issue from Aljazeera journalist Ben White can be found here. "60 Minutes" has been a strong example of principled journalism for decades. It is important that this program does not cave in to pressure from the pro-Israel lobby in North America.
Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested.
Sincerely,
Thomas Woodley
President, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East
