Complaint sent to CTV News about anchor Omar Sachedina’s comment on Jewish Canadians

CTV News doing its part to contribute to an extreme uptick in anti semitism. Watch as @omarsachedina deliberately misrepresents an entirely peaceful “Rally For the Jewish People” as a rally in support of war.

I am writing today in order to file an official complaint against CTV News anchor Omar Sachedina regarding his comments about an Israeli rally in Ottawa held Monday Dec 4, 2023.

Sachedina introduced the segment with this comment:


“Thousands of Jewish Canadians rallied on Parliament Hill in support of the war while inside Parliament Palestinian Canadians made a plea for help.”


This statement was not only false because it was a rally calling for peace, it borders on anti-Semitism as it infers the Jewish attendees were not only calling for war but threatening Palestinian Canadians who were hiding inside Parliament out of fear.

I am expecting a full investigation by CTV News regarding this incredibly biased statement by Sachedina including his producer and script writer. I will also be filing a complaint with the CRTC.

I await your immediate response.
