“Death of civilians is without a doubt horrible and unacceptable,” Thomson wrote in response to one of his colleagues. “However, inciting genocide by dehumanizing Palestinians is also unacceptable.”
Correct.
Everyone fiercely picking a side needs to realize both sides have done horrible stuff.
You can either pick Hamas or Isreal, or there is a third choice , humanity - where both are wrong and we need to help everyone in this conflict.
Agree 100% but there is a huuuuge power imbalance here that needs to be taken into account. As a Palestinian man said on the radio a couple of nights ago on CBC “I want to talk but first you need to take your boot off my neck”
“This message is for Dr. Ben Thomson. Remove your post regarding Israel,” a man’s voice is heard saying in the recording. “It is disgusting, you are a disgusting human being, you do not know what you’re saying, and if you do not remove it, I advise you and the rest of your staff to stay out of your office.”
I wonder if these people ever stop for a moment to consider whether they might be the bad guy?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Ontario doctor has been suspended from his job, threatened and had his address shared online after he posted pro-Palestinian views on social media.
Dr. Ben Thomson, a nephrologist at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, north of Toronto, has been sharing information and opinions on his X social media account, formerly known as Twitter, since brutal attacks by militant group Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7 and the ensuing Israeli bombing of Gaza.
Internal emails seen by CBC News show that the doctor was handed a one-month suspension without pay the next day.
But in a statement to CBC News, Mackenzie Health said that “it is false to suggest Dr. Thomson was suspended for his views,” without elaborating.
Thomson’s public record with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is also clean, with no complaints, allegations or disciplinary actions listed.
“This included increasing the presence of security officers and restricting access to our hospitals to select entrances for patients and visitors,” it wrote in a statement.

Did anyone commenting read the article? He literally tweeted
there have been no confirmed reports of rapes. You repeat this nonsense out of racism
Doctor denies well-documented rape, gets fired. Fully deserved. When people ask how Holocaust denial happens when the Nazis literally recorded everything, this is how.
