US nurse awarded for her compassion fired for calling Israel’s war on Gaza a genocide
A Palestinian American nurse in New York City has been fired after calling Israel’s war on Gaza a “genocide”. Hesen Jabr made the remarks during a speech after she was honoured by NYU Langone Health for her compassion in caring for mothers who had lost babies.
Jabr, who said that Palestinian mothers are experiencing unimaginable loss “during the current genocide in Gaza” in the May 7 speech, was fired when she reported for her next work shift.
She was told by NYU Langone Health officials that she had “‘put others at risk’ and ‘ruined the ceremony’ and ‘offended people’”, according to an Instagram post from Jabr.
An NYU Langone spokesperson said that Jabr had been previously warned about raising the “divisive and charged issue” at work.
The US has become a huge disappointment, never recovered from 9/11, it's been downhill ever since.
It was far from perfect before 2001, 9/11 was the result of prior 'meddling' and arrogance, yet things were sort of moving in the right direction. Instead of dealing with 9/11 in a healing manor, the US started the war on terrorism and made a mess of it. An infinite war without end goals, no victory condition, just more deaths, more hatred, more paranoia, more dehumanization, more fear. The US has always been addicted to using fear to control the people and with terrorism they found a self sustaining way to create more fear.
