Disgusting. Israel has bombed, either completely destroying or serverly damaging, every. single. hospital in the Gaza strip. Every single one. The people who should be reprimanded is those who stay silent.

At least six doctors and healthcare workers were suspended at Toronto’s SickKids hospital for social media posts supporting Palestinians while doctors at St. Michael’s around the corner were allowed to share an hour-long lecture about Israel to staff and students.

Another half dozen physicians were removed from their roles assessing medical students’ residency applications at Queen’s University because they signed a petition calling for a ceasefire.

According to Ge, physicians and students making posts about Palestine are also being accused of creating a lack of safety for Jewish patients, despite no patient complaints.

“For someone to accuse someone else in the profession that there’s a concern for patient safety is…a grave and significant and severe concern,” he said.

“It is being disproportionately used in a very malicious way now to call into question people’s competency, without an appropriate look at [whether there is] actual concern for patient safety and [whether there is] true bias.”
