It’s now been more than 12 hours since this guy shot a nail gun at protesters while shouting “Every f*cking Palestinian will die” & not a single 🇨🇦 official has said a word. Apparently a guy in a Spider-Man suit climbing buildings & waving a flag is more of a threat to Canada.

A pro-Israeli man shoots a nail gun at protesters while shouting, “Every Palestinian. Every fucking Palestinian will die.” 🤔Will Canadian MP’s & lawmakers be writing statements on official letterhead condemning this? He’s now been charged. How is this not a hate crime @YRP ?

Here’s the same guy climbing Eaton Centre & a pole at Charles St. Framing this as being anti-Semitic is churlish at best. Stop this absurd cacophony. I documented the entire march. Mount Sinai’s scaffolding & building were climbed, just like the other buildings. No difference.

I documented this protest. Began at Israeli consulate & went to US consulate. At every bit of scaffolding, some protesters climbed & waved Palestinian flag. Mount Sinai also had scaffolding that was climbed. It was treated no different than any other building along the route.

The demonstration at Mount Sinai Hospital yesterday was reprehensible. Hospitals are places for treatment and care, not protests and intimidation.   I strongly condemn this display of antisemitism. In Toronto and across Canada, we stand with Jewish communities against this hate.

I filmed the march. Here’s the same guy climbing the Eaton Centre & a pole at Charles St. He climbed every scaffolding & building he could. Sinai was not treated any differently. This din of absurdity that’s framing the scaling as anti-Semitic is both churlish & dangerous. ✋

As a Canadian, I'm so angry and heartbroken by the vile footage of antisemitic protestors infiltrating Mount Sinai Hospital to intimidate Jewish patients, physicians and staff. I can't believe I have to say this, but Mount Sinai isn't a government Ministry, nor an Embassy or an…

I documented the protest from Yonge & Bloor down University Ave to 🇺🇸 consulate. On route, some climbed light posts, buildings, & scaffolds & waved the Palestinian flag. Mount Sinai hospital was treated no differently than any other building. No different. This is the same guy.

Yesterday, the Mount Sinai Hospital was targeted because of its ties to the Jewish community in Toronto. This is not okay. Hospitals are a place for healing - not a target for protests.

🇳🇴Norway Broadcasting Corporation’s Yama Wolasmal, interviews Israeli spokesperson, David Mencer. This should be taught in all journalism schools. I spoke at the Norwegian Journalism Institute last year @Pressenshus in Oslo & was so impressed with the rigour of their work.

Women abducted off the streets in Iran for showing their hair. That’s what you’re looking at. A woman being cattle prodded & shoved into a roaming hijab enforcers van. 🚐 Let’s not normalize or culturalize this. It’s nothing but criminal & deadly. #آرمیتا_گراوند #مهسا_امينی‌

When your love of football takes over your fear of getting caught. Since 1979 women in #Iran have not been allowed to enter sports stadiums to watch matches. Today my heroes are these women from yesterday’s champions league match in #Tehran ... by any means necessary ⚽️ 🥅

@ShaiDavidai This was also Columbia University. A Seder was held with Jewish and Muslim students and some Jewish students prayed & then Muslim students prayed together. You’re just a sad bigot.

They hanged his only son and today they abducted him. Mashallah Karami had his home raided and has been disappeared by the Islamic Republic. Regime in Iran is abducting families & activists ahead of the one year anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death at their hands. #مهسا_امينی

The entire length of University avenue - the main artery of downtown Toronto has tens of thousands of people now on it calling for a ceasefire. I’ve covered dozens and dozens of protests in Toronto, this is totally unprecedented.

This makes the second Nobel Peace Prize awarded to an Iranian woman in the past 20 years. 🥇Shirin Ebadi also won back in 2003. Shirin has been forcibly exiled and Narges remains in prison. The Islamic Republic is afraid of women. #NobelPeacePrize #NargesMohammadi
