It’s also bs that it turned into an anti Israel rally. Just that many people who support the rights of Grassy Narrows also support Palestine. I fact I would say that Grassy Narrows having suffered 50 years of poisoning and oppression have alot in common with Palestinians

So while the press is being besieged in Ramallah in the West Bank, occupied Palestine, by a genocidal colonial military force, the press in so-called Canada is reporting flat out lies.

Please inform yourself before jumping on this bandwagon. It was Spider-Man for Palestine who climbed the barricades. He climbs everything. The hospital wasn’t targeted. It was on the way to the US embassy.
Yesterday, the Mount Sinai Hospital was targeted because of its ties to the Jewish community in Toronto.
This is not okay.
Hospitals are a place for healing - not a target for protests.

When my father went bankrupt in my last year at McGill 1967 I applied for a loan to pay my tuition. Back then the university provided the loan not a bank. The officer asked “how can you need a loan. You’re Jewish?
As an anti-zionist Jewish academic from Montreal, I want to express my solidarity with McGill protestors. As for the University making Jews feel safe, the antisemitism is inside the house:
It had a ban & wider quota in place from 1920 until the 1960s.
