An obstetrics professor at McMaster University was removed from the editorial board of an academic journal after publicly criticizing his professional association for failing to condemn the sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7.

“As everybody was traumatized, we waited, in shock, for people to condemn,” Jon Barrett told National Post. “And I was waiting for the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (SOGC), as soon as the stories of rape and sexual violence came out. I was waiting for the women’s organizations, and it became very clear the duplicity of women’s organizations across the world.”
