The former group interprets the protocol as a plea for doctors to leave their political opinions at the door, while the latter believes it has a moral obligation to express its anger at civilian deaths in Gaza.that hundreds of complaints have been filed to the administration by doctors and patients alike.
Paying the price for his ineffective leadership and that of UCSF are the patients at the university hospital subjected to chants of “intifada” while lying in their hospital beds. The Jewish doctors at the clinic are hurting as well. Many have reported rushing into side rooms to avoid walking past antisemitic coworkers in the hallway, while others have been forced to hide their Jewish identity.

He opined that while “horrified by every innocent death,” a ceasefire might embolden Hamas and encourage it to commit further acts of violence against Israel. Kanal has relatives who escaped from Hamas while at the music festival on Oct. 7, and his grandfather survived the Auschwitz concentration camp.
This wasn’t the first time that she had made such remarks. She wrote on X in January that “the presence of Zionism in U.S. medicine should be examined as a structural impediment to healthy equity.” She also circulated someone else’s post that discussed being “terrified” for “Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, South Asian, and Black patients” who were being treated by Jewish doctors.
