The scene in question appeared on a Feb. 9 episode of 'Nurses,' which has been widely condemned for the way it portrayed a Hasidic patient who refused a bone graft from a 'goyim,' an Arab or a woman.

"The portrayal of a Hasidic Jew making hateful remarks about ‘an Arab, a woman’ is gratuitous and inflammatory, and only validates longstanding antisemitic stereotypes. Additionally, the episode’s entire premise is wrong," ADL CEO Jason A. Greenblatt told Fox News Wednesday. "Unfortunately, myths about Jewish religious beliefs and practices are far too commonplace, and this episode only serves to amplify such longstanding misperceptions about Jews. We have reached out to NBC executives and have requested that they pull the episode and review their standards for approving dramatic content so that this doesn’t happen in the future," his statement read.

Natasha Calis as Ashley Collins, Sam Kantor as Ezriel, Alex Poch-Goldin as Toviyah, Dwight Ireland as Dr. McGowan.Global Jewish human rights organization, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told us in a statement that in just"one scene," the peacock network"insulted and demonized religious Jews and Judaism.

So what's the score here? Make NBC look anti-semitic, or weak? I guess either way it's a win for wholesome Fox News.
