Hani just turned 41 years old when he was killed and only a few years into his career as an emergency doctor. He boarded in 2019 and became head of Shifa's ER a few weeks before COVID hit. He met the challenge, helping reconfigure the department for the pandemic.

He felt he could make a bigger impact in the ER, especially during wars. He joined the board program, and for four years after, he was one of our students. It was obvious he should become the new chief of Shifa's emergency department, a job we had to convince him to take.

This is a wholly inadequate response that represents an absolute minimum effort. Breakdown of UOttawa's statement and my response. A 🧵

The first part of a harassment campaign is a group willing to create a mob and direct its energies. Journalists have reported on several such initiatives. Below is a message in one group specific to medical students seeking to target an essential part of their medical education.

Mine is a story familiar to the oppressed everywhere. Black person get choked to death for selling loosies? Yeah, cops probably killed him. 99% sure before I hear anything more. Because that's what they've done before. That's what we've seen after most independent investigations.

The solution is to turn our backs on the @NDP , and engage from the outside on our terms - terms that endorse and respect human rights, even for brown people.

The student was harassed in out of school activities and is still being actively harassed, with people trying to damage his future career prospects in various ways. This continuation of harassment is why I've filed complaints against participants in the campaign.

The University of Ottawa is aware of these letters and has not yet taken any action. Dr. Kirshen remains the PD. She remains in charge of the CaRMS process. UOttawa has not said anything publicly or privately. Not one word in response to the complaint, even to acknowledge them!

And so the same people who rushed to judgment, spewed propaganda without pause (including the debunked 40 decapitated baby claim) and used those things to dehumanize Palestinians are now urging pauses and caution and waiting for all the facts.

The CaRMS process is well under way. If you applied to Derm at UOttawa, you are most likely in an unfair process based on your political views, not your clinical abilities and personality traits. At this point, file reviews, interviews and selection all have to be redone.

Our medical colleagues in Gaza who were arrested grew dramatically to 41, with some of the kindest, most compassionate human beings among them. They must be freed immediately to prevent further abuse and torture. #NotATarget . Thanks to @HCWWatch for tracking, compiling victims.

It is almost certain that the Israelis fired the munition that caused these deaths and injuries. However, the dehumanization, propaganda and gaslightling live in the very remote possibility that there is another explanation.

The photographer's name is Moumin Hmaid. He is a paramedic who always loved photography. Here is a photo of him with Paramedic Musa Abuhassanin, who was later killed.

The hope is that by filing these complaints we can stop the harassment campaigns and the unprofessional, unethical behaviour that drives them both at Western and across Canada. If you see bad behaviour such as this and want to report it, my DMs are open.

The facts as we know them right now are that 471 people were killed in Al Ahli and 314 were injured. 28 patients are in critical condition. These stats will likely shift a bit, which is normal in these situations.

If this were a genuine attempt to discover truth, these groups would insist on independent investigations. They don't. Israel steadfastly stonewalls and stops independent investigations. The ICC's investigations on war crimes have been blocked, for example

This is not a genuine attempt to discover truth. If it were, the same groups would acknowledge results of investigations and retract lies that they have spread rather than allowing them to stand in the record. The real result of this misinformation is dehumanizing Palestinians

The irony of today being November 11th isn't lost on our friends in #Gaza . The ICU - the beating heart of any hospital - has been it. Stop killing doctors, nurses, health care workers and patients now. #NotATarget

People such as @AntisemitismCA , @DrJacobsRad , @GilNimni stirred a fervor against him, recasting his antiracist statements as holocaust denialism and antisemitism. None have deleted their posts, retracted their statements, or apologized for promoting these debunked lies.
