Usually I do not write about ongoing wars.
My reason being is that there are no winners in war.
All parties and surrounding countries suffer loss.
I do not believe that in this modern society we should be killing each other.
Also, I’m not a fool and I know that we will always be killing each other.
The Israeli/Hamas War really has me opinionated. It scares me as this conflict could easily go sideways and be the catalyst of a third world war.
So, here’s what happened admist a supposedly “peaceful” rally in Toronto today, February 13th, 2025.
All was well as they made their way South on University Avenue, what Torontoians refer to as “hospital row”. Due to the numerous hospitals in a two block radius.
The rally was the usual loud but peaceful procession.
The kind of protest that people take notice of the reason and often are sympathetic to the cause.
It was all going well.
That is until the Pro-Palestinian’s reached the front of the Mount Sinai Hospital.
And what these idiots did next cost them many supporters, I would guess to say.
They stopped to rally there, at the main entrance of the hospital. Instead of their usual destination of the United States Embassy just a few meters south.
This is a hospital.
Not a house of politics.
Not a foreign embassy.
A hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Far from the Gaza strip.
Not treating casualties from any war any where.
Just a world renowned Jewish hospital serving the people of Canada.
Making matters worse is that directly opposite Mount Sinai is Sick Kids Hospital.
Emphasis on the words “sick kids“.
THIS IS NO PLACE TO HAVE A LARGE AND LOUD PROTEST!!!
Totally un-cool and extremely inappropriate!
Definitely adding undue stress to the patients in the surrounding hospitals.
On top of protesting in such an inappropriate location………….
THESE TROUBLEMAKERS WERE IMPEDING ENTRANCE TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!!
There is a time and place for everything.
There are acceptable ways to express your convictions and opinions.
Disturbing sick people in Mount Sinai Hospital and the four surrounding hospitals was wrong and inexcusable.
Simple as that.
Impeding entryway in and out of a hospital is just plain ignorant and stupid.
In the future, if you want my support, protest on the lawn of Queens Park Legislature.
That is the why it is there.
Don’t be refusing entry and disrupting a hospital all because it has the same name as many other places and things.
You should be ashamed of your blatant disrespect and apologize for the immature choice of the rally organizers and leaders!
POLITICAL DEBATES AND PROTESTS BELONG ON POLITICAL GROUNDS AND LEGISLATIVE BUILDINGS.
