This person is identified as Peter Henschel, a

Hey
@OttawaPolice
, some of your officers sympathized with the violent extremist Peter Henschel, who assaulted a woman on your streets because the victim was a pro-Palestinian Arab/muslim woman.
The bias is systemic, deep-rooted.
This racist attacked demonstrators in Ottawa yesterday as they exercised their right to peaceful assembly. She assaulted women & children (throwing burning hot coffee on them). Video shows
@OttawaPolice
officers were dismissive at first & only acted after pressure from community.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic. We met with humanitarian organizations to hear from them about the evolving need and challenges they continue to face in delivering life-saving aid to Palestinian civilians.
Incredible first hand testimony of a witness to the atrocities being committed against Palestinian in Gaza, in this case the torture of a doctor at a hospital. All this with full complicity of

Canadian doctor Ben Thompson tells the story of a doctor in Gaza who was forced to strip naked and stand for two days by Israeli occupation forces, urinating, and deficating where he stood.
He was only allowed then to treat his patients while naked.
