To those who would define me - a 🧵

There was no tour called “Combat on Campus” The only students in your riding who faced violence were the Jewish students who held an off-campus event that was attacked by a mob of antisemites - the people you are defending @MaritStiles - will you make her retract and apologize?

I have first-hand, on the ground evidence, that this is the truth

Thank you @TPSOperations for your persistence and thoroughness Let this be a lesson to those who hate Jews No one can force you to stop hating The Charter defends your right to be despicable But Your days of violently attacking and intimidating Jews are coming to an end 🎗️

Thank you @BobRae48 for so eloquently representing Canada at the @UN and for your public service If the UN shared your commitment to Justice and International Law, it would be a very relevant organization today

I gave my first international talk since 2016 tonight in #TelAviv, with an audience from Israel, Canada, US and Australia I am always excited to share how #POCUS can improve #PalliativeCare to patients at home - anywhere in the world! #Homecare #Onhealth

It doesn’t matter how much evidence there is, antisemites will always make up stories that fit their hateful narratives I prefer what is a novel approach for these people - the truth This was a private event Haters tried to disrupt it They caused damage They were removed

We know you hate Jews and Israel, Mr. Mivasair But that does not give you a license to distort the truth The responsibility for the 1200+ murders on October 7 2023 lies squarely with your allies in Hamas No amount of lies and hate speech will ever change that 🎗️

My favourite part is where Toney leaves out that the event was in a private location, not on @TorontoMet campus property, the “protesters” damaged property, caused injury and trespassed, and the Israeli guest evicted them from the premises without harming them Sit down, fool

#IsraeliApartheid is the Urologist who cried when his Muslim head nurse retired because they were “supposed to retire together” It’s the surgeon who has served in the IDF and seen terrible atrocities by Hamas saying “when they come under my care they are not Hamas or Israeli”

#IsraeliApartheid is medical residents at @sheba_medical eating their lunches together and training together Israeli Apartheid is 40% of @RambamHCC medical staff (including chief of Trauma) who are Christian and Muslim

Many people including some of my fellow physicians talk about something called Israeli #Apartheid In the last week I have travelled through the heart of Israel #IsraeliApartheid is Jews, Christians and Muslims practicing their faith in #Jerusalem’s Old City in peace and harmony

When I face MY grandchildren @PeterBeinart, I’ll say that when a genocidal terror group committed unspeakable atrocities, and the world subsequently turned against the Jews for not letting them, I stood up to antisemitism instead of being a useful tool for Jew haters @EylonALevy

The video evidence shows it all The guest invited to participate in a gathering with Jewish students neutralized a VIOLENT attack without injuring any of the VIOLENT attackers Let this be a model for the future We’re done being intimidated No more free passes for antisemites

This has gone too far If @MayorOliviaChow cannot see the harm to which she is directly contributing, and act decisively against the epidemic of antisemitism that has grown in Toronto under her watch, she needs to step aside and allow someone competent to do her job

Meanwhile Antisemites have been attempting to twist the attack on Jewish @TorontoMet students hosting IDF soldiers at an off-campus event to fit their twisted narrative, painting the criminals who vandalized the venue and attacked and injured one participant as “victims”

Many people are blaming @MayorOliviaChow for the antisemitic attack at an event for @TorontoMet students And they are right Her mischaracterization of the conflict and refusal to call out hate speech and attacks against Jews has created an environment that enables this violence

I agree with the first paragraph only But the only way the @NDP has a chance of attracting progressive voters is if it jettisons the racism that is festering in the party Half the (tiny) caucus needs to go, and we need a leader who will denounce antisemitism, not promote it

So @MayorOliviaChow thinks her hateful comments were ok because she can quote reports from discredited organizations? I challenge her to come to Israel, visit Yad Vashem, and see what actual #Genocide is https://t.co/hNMKQ0Idha

I can barely find the words to register my anger and disappointment at yet another “progressive” who has bought into the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas narrative @MayorOliviaChow ought to know better, and she has demonstrated that she is not fit to serve as Mayor https://t.co/LeVXwCBu4q

This thread on #antisemitism in Medicine in Canada is worth a read It is so disappointing that a small number of my colleagues have chosen to share their hatred of Jews publicly I am also thankful to those of my colleagues that have acted as allies, some at considerable cost
