Death to them all, the satanic scum on Earth.
I was debating whether this rhetoric was effective or to easily misconstrued as antisemitic and then this other user writes:
In the end, she’s discriminating against a protected class: national-origin.
Dude, you don't go hard enough with your rhetoric. People unironically believe that if a fascist government drafts you into the military you simply have no choice but to genocide as many people as possible.
Fuck me, I am Jewish. Not in my name! The IDF is committing genocide. Fuck the IDF. Do not let them slide because they were just following orders. Holy shit!
Discriminating against "National origin"? We're all from somewhere aren't we? If I refused to work with a KKK member do I get fired because he's "American" and the KKK is an American hate group?
According to users in this thread apparently. This national origin rhetoric is absurd. Fuck that and fuck the KKK.
It's most certainly not effective, it was something I wrote in anger. Calling for the death of anyone is generally not advisable, and I usually don't, but reading this made my blood boil more than normal.
Israel has conscription/compulsory military-service. There are exceptions for certain super-religious cases, etc., but pretty much if they were born and raised in Israel (i.e. an "Israeli National"), you can say they were probably required to be "IDF soldiers" without really having a choice in the matter. but "Palestinian-American medical student objected to working alongside Israeli-national. The university suspended her" doesn't induce as much rage. In the end, she's discriminating against a protected class: national-origin.
So your argument is that Israeli nationals should be absolved from any war crimes and/or genocide they participate in because they were just following orders?
Using national origin as an excuse for participating in genocide is peak genocide denial.
In the end, she’s discriminating against a protected class: national-origin.
This is the same as equating protesting Russia's invasion of Ukraine as xenophobia against Russians.
I highly recommend reassessing your world view. Your arguments are a one to one match with fascists arguments.
Uh, no. No it's not. If someone refused to work with anyone who was Russian, or who took on a non-combatant role when conscripted in the current war (such as a Medic), then it would be comparable.
I'm glad she was suspended. Bye bye!
This professor of medicine chose to volunteer. Anyone actively contributing to genocide is at fault regardless of their role. Patching someone up so they can butcher more civilians is deplorable. The most heinous Nazis ordered mass killings from behind desks.
I’m glad she was suspended. Bye bye!
What an awful opinion. Why would you support silencing people who speak out against genocide? Do you support Israel's genocide?
Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me.
Four years into her studies, 7 October happened. After watching Israel’s deadly retaliation on Gaza in horror from afar, in January 2024, Mohammad sent an email to the entire medical school with the subject: “Palestinian blood stains your hands, Emory University and School of Medicine.” She railed against her fellow students and the school’s faculty for being “silent about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians”.
10/7 being an attempted ethnic cleansing of her side against Jews.
When Mohammad went into the Democracy Now! interview in April, she was already upset about what she saw as an immoral double standard. Months earlier, an Emory medical school professor, Abeer N AbouYabis, had been fired after posting on Facebook in support of Palestinians after the events of 7 October. Her post included the phrase: “They got walls, we got gliders / Glory to all resistance fighters,” a reference to the way members of Hamas glided over walls in Gaza to enter Israel and stage their attack. According to a report on AbouYabis’s firing by Emory’s committee for open expression, her post was seen as “glorifying” the group.
At the same time, Mohammad told her Democracy Now! interviewer: “One of the professors of medicine we have at Emory recently went to serve as a volunteer medic” in the IDF. That professor, she continued, “participated in aiding and abetting a genocide, in aiding and abetting the destruction of the healthcare system in Gaza and the murder of over 400 healthcare workers, and is now back at Emory so-called ‘teaching’ medical students and residents how to take care of patients”.
She's an unhinged hate-filled Jew-hater. I'm glad she was suspended.
The only one unhinged is that professor. He directly committed to a genocide. He should be in prison.
The penalty for refusing the serve in the IDF is around 1-2 months of prison time. For the people who refuse to engage in ethnic cleansing, doing 30-60 days of prison time instead is far far more ethical
