"Died in a bombing this month amid Israel-Hamas war"

Try being a bit more passive, eh CBC. I'm sure that airtrike just popped into existence out of nowhere.

It should read "Two PhD students murdered by Israeli bombs amidst Western-backed genocide of Palestinians"

But that would be too honest for our imperialist media.

''Gaza's last remaining university was destroyed in January 2024. The Israeli military has conducted a number of raids on universities in the occupied West Bank, where Palestinian students have been arrested. ''

This is just apologia for Israel.

CBC has yet to confirm that and is awaiting a response from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF)

We all know what they’ll say
