Damn I typed out a summary of Dr. Freedhoff's complaint against Dr. Ge but then closed the app. Facepalm.

I'm not doing that again. Here is the complaint that seems to have started it:

https://yonifreedhoffmd.substack.com/p/more-antisemitism-from-the-canadian

I don't think that skepticism of IDF statements is antisemitic.

I don't think supporting the idea of a free Palestine is inherently antisemitic.

I think stating that Zionism is genocide is quite inflammatory, and probably anti-semitic (though possibly unintentionally so). Zionism ie the existence of a Jewish state is not inherently genocidal, and to say that it IS is antisemitic, but Israel's support of illegal settlements (what Zionism means to people today) might be genocidal. I can see why people argue about this.

I think that a hospital/school receiving a report of antisemitism by an employee/student should restrict that employee's interaction with the public (and coworkers?) while they figure out what's going on.

I think it was correct to suspend Dr. Ge and that it would be correct to reinstate Dr. Ge.
