Restaurant staff losing their jobs for cheering on a pro-Palestinian protest. A Palestinian Canadian journalist fired for her social media posts calling for a #freepalestine. Medical residents flagged to potential hiring committees for their support of Palestinians.
These are just some of the many instances across Canada in which employees and students have faced firings, suspensions or calls for them to not be hired based on their publicly stated political stance on the Israel-Hamas war. It’s a trend that has been reported not just in Canada but also in the U.S. and Europe, and across various industries, including media, law, health care and the service sector.
According to three Ontario-based lawyers who spoke to CBC News, some employers and institutions have been quick to take action against employees or students, creating an environment in which many are afraid they will lose their jobs or face consequences to their education if they express a political stance in favour of one side — Palestinians — during this war.
“I can tell you personally, in the last month and a half, I’ve probably spoken with someone at least once a day [about this],” said Jackie Esmonde, a labour lawyer at Toronto-based firm Cavalluzzo Law. "They’re not always cases that we take on, but we do have in the range of eight to 10 cases that we’re actively working on at the moment.
“I’m not seeing people making what I would consider hate speech or discriminatory speech.”
Siding with terrorists who rape women and children is not a popular stance. Hamas needs to be destroyed and they are embedded within the civilians.
That doesn’t mean the Israeli government is allowed to wipe out all of Gaza. A long military occupation is warranted but Israel should have to pay for the damages it caused.

I can understand glorifying terrorism would be a problem.
How is saying that Israel should stop bombing hospitals the same as glorifying terrorism?
Hospitals are the very bases of Hamas so yeah, kind of. To the very least if you expect Israel to not bomb the people who attacked them at least give a realistic alternative.
You’re sick im the head
I posted proof that Hamas uses hospitals as military bases, not sure what else you need to stop supporting them but yeah go ahead and insult me if it makes your feel righteous.
I posted proof that Hamas uses hospitals as military bases
What proof? You’ve provided nothing. You just said they use hospitals as bases. There’s no link, no source, no evidence at all.
Israel destroyed Al Shifa Hospital under the lie that there were tunnels and a command centre underneath, and weeks later there’s still no evidence of anything that resembles a command centre.
There’s no evidence at all that these facilities were being used as bases. Bombing thousands of wounded, innocent civilians under the probability that there might be a base (even though it’s not confirmed) is just terrorism.
The only reason Israel isn’t being done for war crimes right now is the US, and even they are saying the bombing is indiscriminate.
Proof that each one of you terror supporter disqualified and downvoted me for.
So in the end facts dont matter to you, and no matter how much proof you see, you’ll always claim it’s fake.
Which is ok, but at least be clear about the unfair game you’re playing, stop lying to yourself.
Just because you claim there is no evidence doesn’t mean it’s true, it just means you don’t want to look at it.
Israel created Hamas

It’s over for you zionists. The spell is broken. Your actions have now opened the floodgates to people criticizing Israel. The Right hates you. The Left opposes you. The young dislike you. You have lost the war. Remember, guerrila warfare is political.
lool because you think Israel needed to wait for this terrorist attack to be hated? 🤣 Antisemitism is the most widely accepted form of racism and if you think it ever disappeared, well ask yourself if you yourself ever truly stopped being an anti-semite.
