Landed in Canada. It is snowing and the Tragically Hip’s Bobcaygeon is playing on the plane. Glad to be home. 🇨🇦❤️

Can anyone see this? Curious that normal engagement seemed throttled while on a trip to Israel (with a focus on humanity, bridge-building, listening, curiosity, bearing witness). To challenge hate, it takes effort to learn more about the world.

Be still my heart - Havdalah at hostage square, Tel Aviv

submitted 1 day ago • 0 comments

Kfir and Ariel Bibas—10 months and 4 years old—were choked to death with the bare hands of Hamas terrorists. Seeing and hearing and feeling the anguish from Jews globally. Where is the anguish from non-Jews? No child should be murdered, ever, anywhere. Don’t answer with, « but what about… »

Where is Shiri Bibas? 💔🎗️

The brutality against the Bibas family—taking an infant and child hostage, murdering them—should give the world nightmares. Yet there is global silence. Someone will inevitably demand, what about violence against Palestinian children? There is no justification for violence against children. Ever.

Those who expressed horror on Oct 7, pay attention that today an Israeli infant and child were returned to their father, in a box, after having been been taken hostage by terrorists and murdered… To those who dismiss or justify this, you are not peace activists, you are simply antisemites.

Today we are at the the Western Wall, in the old Jewish quarter of Jerusalem, circa 20 BCE built during an expansion of the Second Temple, destroyed by Romans in 70 CE. Saying a prayer, thinking about hostages who will be released today, and the sorrow of the extended family of Jews, globally.

I am in Israel at the site of the Nova Festival massacre, to bear witness. Hearing people telling their first hand experiences of Oct 7 and, from diverse perspectives, their hopes for Israel and the Middle East. One clear take away is that everyone here is traumatized, on every side of the border.

Happy Family Day, Canadians. This snowman in our neighbourhood was built to support us as health care front line workers in the first year of Covid-19. This winter he’s also reclaimed the Canadian flag and is apparently prepared to defend Canadian sovereignty. #TeamCanada #Ottawa #cdnpoli

Daughter phoned 155 people today to help campaign for Mark Carney. Says everyone was very friendly to her. Way to go, kiddo! She was assigned Newfoundland. Way to go, kind people of Newfoundland! #cdnpoli #Carney4PM

Our daughter is volunteering for Mark Carney today. She’s sixteen and knows that our collective well-being—economic, health, social, environmental, political—depends on Canadians electing a Prime Minister who can lead Canada through turbulent times. #CarneyforPM #cdnpoli

Distinctly “there isn’t a chance in hell that Canada becomes a 51st state” vibe. Nice that we’ve reclaimed the Canadian flag from the antivaxx doofuses, eh? #TeamCanada

Canadian MD here. We should all be terrified by the health consequences of the United States’ anti-science, anti-vaccine, disinformation-peddling politicians. Americans won’t get the care they need. And we are going to see Canadians consume disinformation from the USA, with serious consequences.

Hell, no. Ford texted last week. Poilievre’s people telephoned today. My polite response: STOP You are interrupting a family physician at work. Providing the primary care that Ontario sorely lacks. Including gender-affirming care. I 👏 Will 👏 Never 👏 Vote 👏Conservative 👏 #cdnpoli #onpoli

Today, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, honour those who blazed a path for us. And let’s really get under the skin of those who seek to reverse our progress or undermine the contributions that women have made in science, globally. #WomenInSTEM #feminism #WomenInMedicine

Please stop with all the swastika references, all the imagery and photos of Hitler. It is traumatic for some of us. Nazis killed our entire families. It is a monstrous timeline we’re on, but it is no surprise to those of us who have called out Jew hate from across the political spectrum for years.

How long will it take people in North America to understand democracy is fragile? If only people learned from history. The steep rise of Jew hatred globally was the canary in the coal mine (we said so). Now, trans rights, gay rights, women’s rights, immigrants’ rights, trampled. Radicalization.

Where are the Pride protests globally against what the US is doing to 2SLGBTQ rights? Where are the women’s marches against what the US is doing to abortion rights? Where are the human rights protests against his deportation of immigrants? 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗 Silence in our streets and on campuses. Coincidence?

My 93 year old patient says to find something to be thankful for each day, with all that’s happening, globally. I am thankful for every bit of Canadian legislation that protects women’s rights, abortion rights, 2SLGBTQ rights, disabilities, minorities, the environment. Thank goodness for Canada. 🇨🇦

In court yesterday, everyone was stunned as the Crown read the horrendous antisemitic messages left by the accused on my clinic answering machine. I was there to say the trauma is not abstract, it is a person (and family and community) at the other end of the line. ottawacitizen.com/news/eganvil...

Speaking of not backing down—as a Jewish MD and trustee in Canada who has advocated for vaccines and masks, for trans rights, and stood up to relentless antisemitism and hate IRL and online—today a man who harassed me is pleading guilty in court. I’ll look him in the eye when I give my statement.
