@JohanRomin Var kan man läsa deras brev?

[Jennifer Polk, PhD (she, her) @FromPhDtoLife]

I hate being lied to, manipulated, deliberately deceived. I'm sure you feel the same way.

And that's partly why what happened this week -- the fabrication of an antisemitic protest at a Jewish hospital in downtown Toronto -- has so infuriated me.

It's one thing to get something wrong, learn new information, and correct the record.

But Canadian politicians at all levels, including the prime minister, aren't doing that. Nor are hospital administrators, journalists, and others who have power and platforms.

It is clear now (if it wasn't immediately to everyone when this non-story broke) that nothing hateful happened. Nothing really happened at all.

And yet, the damage is done.

And I can only assume that damage is deliberate.

Yesterday, I received a message from a follower who told me that "the coverage of events in Toronto genuinely scared me and made me wonder if Canada was the best home my [Jewish] family."

Who can blame her for this, given the deliberate scaremongering?

I've received messages from other white women over the past few months, all upset about my criticism of Israel and Canada's complicity in it's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

All these messages, including the one from yesterday, stress how my posts make them feel.

These women living in places like Canada and the US ask outright or strongly imply that I should be centering their feelings instead of focusing on the mass murder of Palestinians.

We all are allowed our own feelings, of course. We all are allowed to write on topics we care about.

But in this case -- and I know this is nothing new -- the pro-genocide propaganda machine set out to whip up fear of and hate for Palestinians, and thus all Muslims and BIPOC by extension, plus those of us who "sympathize with terrorists."

Please don't fall for it. Please.

So now this sign I marched with in Chicago has traveled 6,000 miles and founds its way into the hands of someone who loved one of the martyred journalists.

The sign brought Mustafa home, back into the heart of someone who loved him.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

His friend walked away with tears in his eyes, but then he came back, took the sign, sat down on the curb and began weeping. A friend came over and translated between us in English, Arabic and Greek.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

So something really touching and heartbreaking just happened. I had my sign of some journalists martyred in January, and a person came up to me and gently took my sign in his hands. English wasn't his first language but he made his point clearly...

The question I have to ask myself is: what am I going to do with that power?

@RasimReiz Hjärnsläpp eller att någon som inte är majoritetssvensk inte får ställa frågor för @svenskfotboll s
förbundskapten? Rasistiska förklaringen att Bojan på var icke-svensk/illojal för att han intervjuade en tränare kom snabbt .. och möttes av talande tystnad från övriga. @PJihde

@staciadats essay has no substance or message, only virality. The message comes from @thisisinsider and all media centering white voices. They paid for meaningless essay & lack original viewpoints. American exchange student in Florence with a unique voice- @intrsxtionl_abc 2/2

[Stop Asian Hate Sweden @StopAsianHateSw]

@thisisinsider @staciadats in shock: Florence isnt New York, Italians aren't Americans & migrating is hard, mostly "challenges" of her own making. We BIPoC dont have that luxury when faced with European racism. Full essay by @katherinemzhou - https://t.co/r8IW7l2tkr 1/2

@Olas_Truth Yes, thank you for speaking on this! Especially as Asians we need to break this cycle. Let Luna and every other kid be an actual child.

@iSmashFizzle We're not surprised! Sadly. He's not alone. But Sweden denies racial profiling. Thomas James Thomsen https://t.co/7HU8ZBOOm3 commutes by car to work in Denmark and has been "randomly" searched over 150 times. If he wasn't a black man we'd say it was time to buy a lottery ticket.

Swedish exceptionalism! Even stealing and trafficking babies is something the government with Ulf Kristersson @moderaterna will continue to ignore. Just as he did when he was in charge.

[Ivar Arpi @Ivarpi]

Inte ens när det bekräftas att Sverige adopterat minst 4 stulna barn från Kina leder det till någon åtgärd. Det var något Meit Camving, generaldirektör på tillsynsmyndigheten Mia, fick veta så sent som 2005. När författarna frågar henne varför det inte ledde till nåt svarar hon:

Vi är så glada att höra detta och ser fram emot den. Särskilt imponerande att du skriver om rasism mot asiater trots ett tjockt motstånd mot att tala om just detta i Sverige! ❤️💪🏾

[Tobias Hübinette @TobiasHubinette]

Eftersom frågan om rasism mot asiater har trendat i flera dygn här på svenskspråkiga Twitter vill jag bara nämna att jag f n lägger sista handen vid en bok om just denna minoritet och detta ämne som kommer att bli den första hittills om svenska asiater och antiasiatisk rasism.
