Dr. Ted Rosenberg, who was raised in Winnipeg, has written a book Ayekha about the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the meteoric rise he witnessed of antisemitic attitudes and actions in the medical field and in general society.
Episode 47 presents our full interview with Dr. Rosenberg. He explains why he resigned from a 30 year teaching post at the University of British Columbia after the administration refused to confront the manifestation of Jew-hate in the medical school and among the faculty. He is sounding the alarm for the safety and Jewish staff and patients, and for the future of civil society in Canada
Here is Marty Gold's column in the Winnipeg Sun about the interview:
An epidemic of Jew-hatred in medical schools and health care https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-an-epidemic-of-jew-hatred-in-medical-schools-and-health-care
13.43 Part 2 - Dr. Rosenberg explains that the groundwork for the almost immediate vitriolic blame and blood libels directed at Israel and Zionism after the Oct. 7th massacre was previously laid with an ideological and cultural shift in academia. As a result the United Nations and worldwide institutions "have become corrupted and systemically biased."
Hear how Rosenberg's motivation to speak out started after a UBC resident was relentlessly harassed for mourning a friend slaughtered by Hamas and poisonous demonization became tolerated within the facility.
35.15 - "What we're seeing now in health care is a range, a spectrum, of problems for the Jewish public."
Dr. Rosenberg and Marty Gold discuss the choices Jews are being forced to make as thousands of health care workers sign petitions that spout Hamas talking points and demonize Israel defending the country and try to recover the hostages in Gaza. "These aren't random outliers, this is becoming normalized."
The antisemitic playbook, including BDS policies applied against Israeli professionals and Zionists and smears they represent "apartheid" and "colonialism", is becoming a standard across the western world as the percentage of Jews allowed into medical schools is dropping- "we've come full circle again."
"As a country, people default to this blaming and not taking responsibility and that's the beginning of the end to a society," warned Rosenberg.
"I see it as a threat - all of us in Canada are at risk that we as Jewish people are being torn from the Canadian tapestry systematically and that's not just a risk to Jewish people, it's a risk to all Canadians... but when non-Jewish people start to speak up about it, then things will start to happen ."
Dr. Ted Rosenberg has included historical context and many valuable resources in his book -- Ayekha, Where Are You? A Memoir and Reflection about Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism and the Western Response to October 7, 2023 is available on Amazon and at Ayekha.ca.
Please read his book and share this podcast with people concerned about the radicalization of society and the embedding of Jew-hatred in our government and institutions.
