Letter from Larry Shapiro, Calgary to CTV regarding their lie when calling Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel

June 15, 2025

Dear CTV,

Whenever you say the word Washington, you don't say America's capital, nor do you add Canada's capital when you say Ottawa. Likewise Paris and London, yet everything you say the word Tel Aviv you add, Israel's capital. If it really was Israel's capital, then maybe you might be considered to be offering a service, but it isn't. I wonder if  Bell Canada the owners od CTV have insisted on this disinformation. If Bell doesn't know anything about this and CTV is trying to be Al Jazeera west, then I hope you are proud of yourselves for fomenting hatred against Canadian Jews who are blamed by the ill-informed for Israel stealing Jerusalem. I can just see a Jew hater saying, if CTV says so, it must be true. Well its not, so quit lying.

Larry Shapiro
