Rutgers gender study professor tells seminar that it’s ‘homophobic and violent’ to flag how badly LGBT people are treated in Gaza

A Rutgers University professor told a seminar discussing the Israel-Hamas conflict that it is ‘violent’ and ‘homophobic’ to raise the issue of how LGBT people are treated in Gaza.

Maya Mikdashi, associate Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at New Jersey’s State University, told students earlier this month that she has been approached by people at pro-Palestine protests who tell her that she would be treated horribly by Hamas.

‘So I’ve been at protests where I’m then told “don’t you know what Hamas would do to you, if you were in Palestine”,’ she said.

Guilbeault told The West Block host Mercedes Stephenson that the increase does more financial good than harm for average Canadians, and is necessary to solve climate change.

“We have a plan that is balanced, that is asking big polluters to do more — way more — than Canadians, but Canadians also have a contribution. We all have a role to play,” he said.

A new secret report by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police warns that the Canadian economy is expected to be “bleak” for the next several years under Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The report claims that living standards will continue to “decline” for “younger generations.”

While a significant portion of the report, which is labeled “Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada,” is redacted, the report forecasts economic woes for Canada for at least the next five years.
