Canada doctor suspended and doxed for pro-Palestinian social media post

A doctor in Ontario, Canada was suspended from work, threatened, and doxed after he shared pro-Palestinian views on his social media, CBC reported.

On 10 October, Ben Thomson, a nephrologist at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, wrote on X: "No babies were beheaded, there have been no confirmed reports of rapes. You repeat this nonsense out of racism.

"In the meantime, Palestinians are experiencing genocide and war crimes and you are silent. History will judge you very badly."

On 12 October, the hospital posted a statement on its Facebook and X accounts saying it is "addressing social media posts from a few physicians and staff that do not reflect our views or values as an organisation".

According to CBS, he was suspended for one month without pay. His address was also leaked online, and people wrote threatening messages under his post.
