Last week, I was removed from the @OntariosDoctors annual general meeting for wearing a watermelon pin. Medical institutions in Canada continue to perpetuate anti-Palestinian racism and censorship. But the real story is the Nakba and the genocide in Gaza. pressprogress.ca/yipeng-ge-onta…

Imperialism aside, the Trump administration considers Venezuelans who come here to be illegals but a Venezuelans in Venezuela to be Americans. Got it.

A very serious investigation has been published in @nytimes about rape and sexual violence carried out by the authorities in Israel. I am also quoted in this article as one of many, many people who provided accounts to this newspaper, which is considered extremely pro-Israeli. In response, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote that these are antisemitic “blood libels.” It is clear that the reports already published by Al Jazeera in 2024, and by me in 2025 when the BBC censored and deleted the interview with me, are true. People simply need to listen to Palestinians. But the world does not listen to Palestinians. It only listens when it is written in The New York Times — and now it is written there.

I agree with Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Berman. It's not the business of OMA to judge social media posts for leadership candidates - candidates retain freedom of speech and conscience. Members can read and form their own conclusions. @BermanPCMD @DrJacobsRad @OntariosDoctors @drmsgandhi
David Jacobs@DrJacobsRad

The OMA had a third party rate the social media presence of candidates for president elect. Dr. Hal Berman, a Jewish candidate who has been fighting antisemitism online, was described as confrontational and combative. Good. Vote for Hal. He'll fight for you. @BermanPCMD

The original sin of the Covid pandemic was not acknowledging airborne spread early, despite SARS1 having been airborne (we learned the hard way in Toronto in 2003). It looks like some are finally realizing this, however belatedly and despite the WHO once again trying to downplay it initially with this 'intimate contact' nonsense. Two cases tested positive yesterday from the cruise ship passengers, and this is despite isolation on the ship itself. The 2019 NEJM study on Hantavirus also suggests that this thing might be airborne. If countries don't employ airborne precautions such as isolation of these cases with use of N95/FFP2 and HEPA filtration in quarantine centers, then we are just inviting this thing to spread. Nip it in the bud now.

The CDC quietly changed its hantavirus protocol on Sunday. High-risk exposures now include being within 2 rows of a known case on a plane. Not sure the science on that, but sometimes decisions are just judgement calls. More analysis soon here 👇 insidemedicine.substack.com/subscribe

When I was President, the staff (who are by nature very conservative) tried to stop an ad with a physician because she was wearing a necklace with a Cross on it. I managed to end that nonsense. Pity the current political leaders of the OMA won’t stop this stuff.

I tried to attend the @OntariosDoctors annual general meeting tonight in Ottawa, and was removed from the room by members of their executive team Sandy Zidaric and Adam Farber because I wore my watermelon pin that I’ve worn countless times without issue in many spaces including on parliament hill. They cited the concern that the watermelon pin as a political symbol could possibly make other physician colleagues in the room “uncomfortable” or “unsafe”. All the while genocide continues in Palestine. When I asked if their policy of what could not be worn on the bodies of their members in their meetings have applied to any other political symbols or attire, they could not give me other examples. They asked me to remove the watermelon pin or leave the room, or sit in another room by myself to tune into the meeting virtually. I declined and left. I explained to them this is an incredibly disappointing and discriminatory policy for their meetings, and I hope it is revised. I know medical colleagues including medical learners who have been kicked out of clinic because they wore a watermelon pin. These are examples of anti-Palestinian racism. As a physician, I stand in solidarity with my Palestinian medical colleagues who have been killed by the Israeli military and continue to be subjected to genocidal violence. Over 1,700 Palestinian healthcare workers have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. Many Palestinian healthcare workers remain in Israeli captivity and are being tortured by the Israeli military, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a paediatrician who stayed to care for his patients in the hospital he was the medical director of. Shame on @OntariosDoctors for not only censoring what is allowed to be displayed on the bodies of their members, and even more so to be painfully silent in the face of attacks on our medical and healthcare worker colleagues in Palestine. Don’t look away from the genocide in Gaza. These acts of discrimination are forms of racism, and racism is a distraction from the real issue of ending Canadian complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Canada stands in solidarity with the Lebanese people and Lebanese territorial integrity. I spoke with President Aoun earlier and condemned Israel’s illegal invasion and Hezbollah’s continued attacks on Israel. I expressed my strong support for Lebanon’s efforts to disarm Hezbollah and underscored the importance of maintaining a meaningful ceasefire and creating conditions for displaced civilians to return home safely.
