Ontario doctor who worked in Gaza and saw his colleague get shot by the IDF posts problematic tweets, gets immediately fired and doxxed, Redditors dumbfounded as to how things got so bad

The X post that garnered controversy among Thomson's colleagues and appears to have played a role in his suspension involves his reply to another X post by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs that claimed babies had been beheaded and women r*ped during the Hamas attack on several communities in southern Israel.

"No babies were beheaded, there have been no confirmed reports of r*pes. You repeat this nonsense out of racism," Thomson wrote on Oct. 10. "In the meantime, Palestinians are experiencing genocide and war crimes and you are silent. History will judge you very badly."

In response to Thomson's post, a doctor at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital (whose X account is now deleted) accused him of denying the Holocaust, and another Ontario doctor criticized him publicly for denying "the trauma of the victims of these unspeakable crimes."

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who works at London Health Sciences Centre in London, Ont., has known Thomson for more than a decade — both have worked in Gaza for periods of time, and Loubani was among 19 medics shot by the Israeli military in Gaza in 2018.

Loubani said the swift action by the hospital is a rare occurrence reserved for egregious circumstances.

"The only time we ever see these sudden-death suspensions is when there's a criminal charge on a serious criminal offence, [like] sexual assault, murder, attempted murder," he said. "What I fear for other physicians is that they'll see Dr. Thomson's case, and they'll think to themselves, 'This means I should never say anything.'"
