Labor and delivery nurse Hesen Jabr, who is Palestinian American, was being honored by NYU Langone Health for her compassion in caring for mothers who had lost babies when she drew a link between her work and the suffering of mothers in Gaza.
“It pains me to see the women from my country going through unimaginable losses themselves during the current genocide in Gaza,” Jabr said, according to a video of the May 7 speech that she posted on social media. “This award is deeply personal to me for those reasons.”
Jabr wrote on Instagram that she arrived at work on May 22 for her first shift back after receiving the award when she was summoned to a meeting with the hospital’s president and vice president of nursing “to discuss how I ‘put others at risk’ and ‘ruined the ceremony’ and ‘offended people’ because a small part of my speech was a tribute towards the grieving mothers in my country.”
She wrote that after working most of her shift she was “dragged once again to an office” where she was read her termination letter and then escorted out of the building.

Yeahhhh I had the same thought, but it feels racist / antisemitic to point that out. I’d like to take people by their character and actions, and not judge them off a name or a skin color. Besides, I’m a pretty firm believer that Israeli government =/= Jewish Americans
All that being said, fuck this hospital system, and fuck the president and vice president.
can you please write / call the hospital to complain instead of internalizing hatred of an ethnic group
You want this person to write in?
Seems… Like it wouldn’t help matters.
Nah, its easier to use a genocide to peddle racist hate.
Probably not
Shut the fuck up. Is Biden a Jew?
