Letter to CBC from Richard Sherman, Florida, re Zionophobic Reporting by Crystal Goomansingh, Failing to Call Out Arab Terrorist

Dear CBC:

CBC’s Crystal Goomansingh Zionophobically reported that Amer Rabea “was killed at the hands of Israeli settlers”. News reports confirmed that as a rock-throwing terrorist he was killed while throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers.

Palestinian rock-throwing terrorists are not innocent Canadian teenagers skimming stones off placid Canadian lakes. They are rock-throwing terrorists intending to murder Jews and sometimes they do.

As esteemed Holocaust scholar Rafael Medoff has written:

“But the Jerusalem Post (https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/www.jpost.com%2Fisrael-news%2Farticle-896292/ujMMAQ/GF-FAQ/AQ/fbf492f0-8c41-4952-a765-907f0be4aa83/1/b-GcViPJH5) got it right this week, when it began using the term ‘rock-throwing terrorists’ to characterize Palestinian Arabs who terrorize Jews by trying to stone them to death.

Seventeen Israelis have been stoned to death since 1983 by rock-throwing Arab terrorists. Two of the victims were Arabs who were mistaken for Jews. Four of the victims were American citizens.

Two of them were Asher Palmer, 25, and his 1-year-old son, Yonatan. Asher was driving on Israel’s Route 60 on September 23, 2011, when rock-throwing Arab terrorists, driving in the other direction, threw rocks at their vehicle. Throwing them from the opposite direction, at high speed, doubled the impact of the rocks. As the terrorists intended, the Palmers’ car crashed, killing both Asher and Yonatan.

The Cambridge English Dictionary defines a terrorist as “someone who uses violent action, or threats of violent action, for political purposes.”

Teenagers who throw rocks at cars on an American highway for “fun” have no particular purpose; that’s juvenile delinquency.

Palestinian Arab teenagers who throw rocks at cars in Israel, because they believe the drivers and passengers are Jews, have a very specific political purpose—to terrorize Jews.

It’s about time somebody called rock-throwing terrorists by their proper name. (“Rock Throwing Terrorists”, Rafael Medoff, 5/15/26).”
