Did you know the development of partnerships between @UofT & 🇮🇱 institutions is one of the key features of Meric Gertler's Presidency? 🧵

This is what transpires from available data, which we have compiled in an open-access timeline:
cc @metromorningdocs.google.com/document/d/1Rf… In Dec. 2011, Gertler delivered the Arie Shachar memorial lecture at the Hebrew University. During the event, students working on an illegal settlement in E Jerusalem were given an award

The lecture was funded by Dr. Ralph Halbert, a prominent UofT donor

A reminder: Mount Sinai is located in Egypt and a Greek Orthodox monastery bearing my name is located at its foot.

Zionist attempts to turn multifaith, multiethnic, and historically layered spaces located in Palestine and Egypt into 'purely' Jewish loci is colonial erasure. Some anonymous person added a note that is completely besides the point of my tweet above (like I don't know where the toponym Sinai comes from? come on!).

People have to STOP w deflection and the weaponization of Judaism and historical traumas for Zionist ends.

Yesterday my employer sent us an EDI/health & wellness "survey" called "Speaking Out!". The introductory description is signed by UofT's Vice-President & Provost & Vice-President, People Strategy (sic), Equity & Culture

I have some questions 1/ 🧵
redcap.utoronto.ca/surveys/?s=F2X… First: "Data collected will help us understand employee experiences, what progress has been made to date, and what could be improved to create an inclusive and engaging workplace for employees"

🙋🏼‍♀️: Why this survey now, while loads people+groups have been speaking out for years?
