The rejection kind of proves the report?
U of T rejects report, recommendations on anti-Muslim, anti-Arab discrimination

This is completely WILD. Uni commissions report on anti-Palestinian & anti-Muslim discrimination. The report finds evidence of it. The university SHUTS THE REPORT DOWN. So it basically only wanted one answer: no, it doesn't exist. And to say it does is....you got it, antisemitic.
Absolute bombshell report on the rampant anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian discrimination at @UofT.
There is an entire section on the Faculty of Medicine @uoftmedicine.
The report captures a small fraction of the stories of UofT staff, students, and faculty who have experienced racism, targeting, procedural unfairness, and professional and educational repercussions.
In what I believe is an unprecedented move, UofT has rejected the report and its recommendations.
It is interesting whose feelings appear to matter and whose lives seem to have lesser value.

Israel says it gave a warning to Nasser hospital in Gaza before it attacked.
Speaking from the hospital (where he is currently working), British surgeon Dr Gopher Rahbour is clear. There was no warning.

Not a single hate crime occurred at protests in 2025, according to Toronto police records.
So why is TPS's Hate Crime Unit tasked with monitoring and investigating every protest in the city—including bike lane and OSAP funding demos?

This is tragic. strongly suspect the developers excavating the immediately adjacent lot (disregarding a stop work order) will be found to have some responsibility for the collapse.
The environment of impunity and deregulating for developers has to be checked.

Israel just murdered a doctor featured in the film about Israel murdering doctors
My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen.
Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure."
Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.

A reminder that Israel is NOT being asked to provide aid to Gaza
It’s been asked to STOP BLOCKING aid provided by OTHER countries that is ALREADY THERE waiting at the border
Lewis Hamilton: "I'm here with the Egyptian Red Crescent as they load these boxes containing aid they have prepared to send to Gaza. They went to the Rafah border today, accompanied by their wonderful volunteers. They have more than 70,000 volunteers across Egypt, and over 2,000 people here volunteer every day to make sure these boxes are ready and packed as well as possible. They're fully ready to be
deployed. So we really need to put pressure on Israel to
reopen the crossing from the Palestinian side, because not enough trucks are getting through each day."
"The people in Gaza and Palestine are in such urgent need that they could hardly need this aid more than they do right now, so we really must apply pressure.
And work together to ensure this aid gets there. There is a great deal of it, and this center is just one of several different sites that also contain such wonderful supplies, full of food, medicine, and things that individuals and families in Palestine really need."

Nothing to see, just Doctors Without Borders suspending services in the occupied West Bank due to Israeli restrictions, “that amount to the collective punishment and ethnic cleansing of
Palestinians.”
Why would anyone report it…
#Palestine: For 10 days, Palestinians in Hebron, #WestBank have faced military raids, forced evictions and severe movement restrictions, making it harder for people to reach care.
The lockdown also forced our teams to suspend care. doctorswithoutborders.ca/pal…

They broke into his apartment in the middle of the night and started beating him, while he was asleep. That's how he woke up, to Israeli soldiers beating him.
Dirar Aliyan is 59 years old. He sleeps connected to a ventilation machine.

Just to be clear. They shot down a 14 year old kid for "intending to throw stones".
Not for actually throwing stones. Not for even preparing to throw stones. Just on intuition that some time few hours or days into the future he might consider throwing stones.
הלילה, במהלך פעילות מבצעית יזומה של כוחות צה"ל לסיכול זריקות אבנים ואירועי טרור בפאתי הכפר בורקא שבחטיבת שומרון, זיהו הכוחות מספר מחבלים שהתכוונו לזרוק אבנים לעבר כביש מהיר בו נוסעים רכבים ישראלים. זאת, במרחב בו יידו אבנים לעבר רכבים ישראלים בעת האחרונה.
הכוחות הגיבו בירי לעברם להסרת סכנה, זוהו פגיעות

"If there were a button you could press that would make all the Arabs here disappear... I would press that button." -@MatanKahana, June, 2022, soon to be Speaker of Israel's Knesset.
Matan Kahana is about to become Speaker of Israel's Knesset. Gadi Eisenkot's bloc picked him this week. This is what he has said about Arabs and Palestinians"
1) In June 2022 he was a deputy minister. He told high school students in Efrat (a settlement): "If there were a button you could press that would make all the Arabs here disappear... I would press that button."
2) In the same talk he called the Palestinian account of 1948 "nonsense." His apology was for an "unsuccessful choice of words." He never took back the wish.
3) A month before that, he wrote about a dream in which "all the Arabs decided one morning to emigrate to Switzerland."
4) In July 2021 he backed the law that bars Palestinian spouses of Israelis from citizenship. He said whoever votes against it "wants to flood Israel with thousands of Palestinians."
4) In December 2020 he wrote that "it is madness to legislate the equality law."
5) During the May 2021 unrest in Lod he wrote that the police should "protect the Jews from Arab rioters" instead of separating the sides.
6) In February 2021 he called the Arab MKs Heba Yazbak, Sami Abu Shehadeh and Mansour Abbas "supporters of terror" who have "no place in the Knesset."
7) In 2025, asked about the bid to expel MK Ayman Odeh, he said: "We must not build on Arab seats." On election night, October 28, 2026, he repeated that there would be no government that relies on Arab parties.
8) In September 2022 he said Ben-Gvir "loves the State of Israel." In the same breath he called the Arab party Balad "full-on terror supporters."
9) In February 2025 Trump proposed moving Gaza's population out. A radio host called it forced transfer. Kahana answered that it was "voluntary emigration" and said "we need to embrace this solution."
10) The day after, he called humanitarian aid to Gaza "aid to murderers."
This is the man the bloc that ran against Netanyahu chose to preside over Israel's parliament, including over its Arab members. He is an unrepentant racist and will lead the Knesset despite that.

This is the fourth winter Palestinians in Gaza will spend in tents while Israel blocks aid.

Read the Israeli army’s tweet and then read it again and again. “We proactively killed kids for hanging out in an area.” This is another way of saying that they engaged in target practice, using kids as their aim.
