Rogers TV, which runs community programming throughout Canada, has pulled the plug on an Arabic-language show called AskMirna after B’nai Brith Canada drew its attention to antisemitic messages promoted in the program. AskMirna which describes itself as "presenting an accurate, positive, inspiring and entertaining image of the Arab-Canadian community," dedicated an entire episode to "Nakba Day," in which Palestinians annually mourn the establishment of the State of Israel and call for its destruction. This included an interview with Nazih Khatatba, who described Jewish suffering as "fairy tales" [sic] and engaged in Holocaust denial.
