Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
The epidemic of antisemitism worldwide has now spread to hospitals, emergency rooms, doctors’ offices, nurses’ stations. From Australia to Amsterdam, Jews are alarmed. More on doctors’ and nurses’ expression of Jew-hatred, and the hatred that Jews experience both in person and online, can be found here: “Dutch Jewish Writer Recounts Being Denied Care by Pro-Palestinian Nurse,” by Ailin Vilches Arguello, Algemeiner, November 11, 2025:
A Jewish columnist from Amsterdam has publicly denounced yet another example of rising antisemitism in health-care settings, saying she was denied medical care by a nurse who refused to remove a pro-Palestinian pin shaped like a fist.
On Monday, Jonath Weinberger, a dual Belgian-Israeli citizen who moved to the Netherlands in 2024, described how a visit for urgent medical care quickly turned into an unsettling experience, in a column for the Dutch Jewish news site Jonet.
Two months ago, Weinberger required urgent medical attention and was taken to a local hospital, the name of which she chose not to disclose.
“As I stepped into the room with the doctor and nurse, I was shocked. The nurse was wearing a large pin shaped like a fist in the colors of the Palestinian flag,” she wrote in her column.
Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, Weinberger told the paramedic that she was uneasy about the nurse’s pin. The paramedic then “gently [or cautiously, depending on the translation]” asked the nurse if she could remove it.
“I didn’t feel safe being treated by someone displaying such a political statement,” Weinberger said.
But the nurse “reacted indignantly, muttered that she no longer wished to treat [her], and walked out of the room.”
Weinberger recalled having to wait for another nurse to arrive, despite her medical emergency, before she could finally receive treatment….
Medical personnel are supposed to provide a neutral setting for those they are treating. Nor are they allowed to deny treating someone on the basis of religion, or ethnicity, or political views. The nurse’s pin in the shape of a fist, and painted in the colors of the “Palestinian” flag, screamed her bias. Her walking out on her Jewish patient, leaving her to wait for another nurse to arrive when she needed emergency care, violated the code for medical personnel. The scorned patient, Jonath Weinberger, is contemplating suing the hospital for allowing its personnel to wear such symbols. If she does, and the judge in the case proves judicious, he will fine the hospital, which may in turn fire the nurse who insisted on visually proclaiming her support for the “Palestinians.”
Elsewhere in the Netherlands, local police opened an investigation into Batisma Chayat Sa’id, a nurse who allegedly stated she would administer lethal injections to Israeli patients.”
Sa’id threatened to murder Jews. What more do the police need to know in order to arrest her for making such threats? And after her arrest, will the Dutch Medical Council do its duty, and deprive her of the license to practice in the Netherlands? She can always find work at a hospital in Doha or Riyadh or Tehran.
In Italy, two medical workers filmed themselves at their workplace discarding medicine produced by the Israeli company Teva Pharmaceuticals in protest against the Jewish state and the war in Gaza.
Teva Pharmaceuticals won’t be effected; the drugs that these two medical workers discarded with such fiendish glee had already been paid for. They are only hurting the hospital where they work. And should they demand that the hospital cease to buy pharmaceuticals, both generic and branded, from Teva, that will only hurt the hospital’s bottom line, for it bought medicines from Teva in the first place because the Israeli company was the lowest-cost producer.
In Belgium, a local hospital suspended a physician after discovering antisemitic content on his social media, including a cartoon showing babies being decapitated by the tip of a Star of David and an AI-generated image depicting Hasidic Jews as vampires poised to devour a sleeping baby.
The same doctor came under fire after he recently diagnosed a nine-year-old patient by listing “Jewish (Israeli)” as one of her medical problems on his report….
This Belgian physician was suspended, but for how long? It’s unclear if this antisemitic doctor will lose his license, or merely be kept from practicing at the hospital for a certain period. To depict Jews as vampires, or as decapitators of babies, and to have listed on the nine-year-old Israeli girl’s medical record as one of her medical problems the fact that she Is “Jewish (Israeli)” ought to have been enough for him to have been struck off.
One notable case drawing attention involved Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan, a trainee trauma and orthopedic surgeon, who police arrested on Oct. 21, charging her with four offenses related to malicious communications and inciting racial hatred.
Aladwan’s arrest followed the UK’s top medical regulatory body, the General Medical Council (GMC), clearing her to continue treating patients. She had made antisemitic social media claims such as labeling the Royal Free Hospital in London :a Jewish supremacy cesspit” and asserting that “over 90% of the world’s Jews are genocidal.”
Aladwan wrote on April 29 that “I will never condemn the 7th of October,” referring to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre across southern Israel, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
It is flabbergasting that, after Aladwan’s spewing a river of hatred toward Jews, that the GMC refused to strike her off. Now that she’s been arrested, perhaps the GMC will reconsider, and do what it should have done in the first place.
Physician, heal thyself? Apparently, when in the grip of the pathological condition known as antisemitism, too many physicians, and nurses too, just can’t manage it. That’s why they need to have their medical licenses revoked. Medical councils, please do your duty.
All Muslim medical personnel are wearing “Palestine” flag pins. The ER dr who treated my cousin last week at a famous California-based hospital was wearing one.
Seems the steps taken by the Jewish gal from Amsterdamn were the right/polite/nonviolent place to start in the aforementioned situation…. I’d try to avoid conflict but be prepared for it (as that seems to be a popular outcome by the Islamist crowd).

In the immortal words of Lord Olivier as Dr. Christian Szell DDS, “IS IT SAFE?!”
Time for Jewish hospitals again?
That would solve the problem, but I think this problem could also be solved by a return to Christian nations within what was formerly known as Christendom (the West).
The idea that “[m]edical personnel are supposed to provide a neutral setting for those they are treating” is one which is compatible with and core to Christian compassion.
It was refusals to both treat and employ Jewish patients that drive Jews to build their own clinics and hospitals in the first place. If you mean to say that something has changed and we wouldn’t have that problem now, then I’m glad.
Something has changed, and now we have a problem that is growing. The problem here would be eliminated by a return to the founding Christian principles recognizing human value without regard to externals.

I was wondering if the Jewish people realize that moslems also want to kill all Christians? They seem to be obsessed with their own group, but neglect concern for the fact that Christians are being massacred daily by moslems.
You’re really uninformed. WTF are you even doing on this site? I’ve never seen you here in all the years I’ve been reading it. Who the fuck do you think it is that’s pushing—been pushing—the slaughter in Nigeria news so hard? No Christian’s did that; we did and we have been for decades. You don’t know that because YOU are the one who’s unaware. Watch your accusations. .
Who are you to run your mouth like that? You’ve got a lot of hutzpah.
I am not aware of any Jewish group vocally calling for the protection of Christians, so if you could site a few for me to look into I would be most grateful. Even Christians have neglected this. I have been on this site for YEARS and I booked, sat next to for dinner, and introduced David in 1992 at our Republican fundraiser in Pasadena. Same with Dennis Prager.
You seem angry, but here’s a newsflash for you… moslems want to kill all Christians not just Jews. That’s not being uninformed. I too would have been reluctant about being treated by the nurse with the Palestinian pin.
You’re not seeing the big picture which is unfortunate. This nation was founded by Christians ( mostly) so it’s especially problematic when Christianity is diminished. Just include us if you have room.
Don’t worry. This isn’t our first rodeo and we know what to do.

Thank you Daniel. I will read up on this!
thank you for your involvement with the Center
You’re grossly uninformed. Daniel—the orthodox Jewish CEO of a Jewish website—and spilled thousands of words on just that specific topic and he’s far from the only Jew who’s concerned and doing what little can be done about it.
We’ve been covering the persecution of Christians extensively
There is nothing wrong with in-group preference. It is natural.
FPM writers regularly visit the topic of Christian persecution. and not all of them are Jewish. Mr. Greenfield is Jewish and often visits the topic of Christian persecution.
There is anti-goyism for sure, but this forum’s writers do not participate in it.
The reporting of the Jonath Weinberger story (based on his own words), seems naive, as if the only problem was the fact that the nurse was wearing a badge that the patient found offensive.
Displaying a “Palestine” badge, particularly by a Muslim, indicates approval for the mass atrocities of October 7, 2023, and for the “genocide” lie against Israel.
We have also seen videos by Muslim medical staff threating to mistreat Jewish patients, even lethally.
In this context, a Muslim who is intent on harming or killing a Jewish patient is less likely to draw attention to his beliefs, and will certainly not be inclined to withdraw his services.
This nurse, by contrast, both wore the “Palestine” badge and withdrew immediately on being challenged.
This is what happens when the concept of “antisemitism” overflows its proper boundaries, as so often happens, often with an admixture of leftism (Daniel Greenfield has written very insightfully on this issue). “Antisemitism” will lead to the sacking of medical staff caught, say, writing approving comments below Tucker Carlson videos (such people are undoubtedly antisemitic, but so far remote from having murderous intent). On the other hand “antisemitism” will be unable to catch a stealthy Muslim operation to kill Jewish patients through “plausible deniability” mistakes like overdosing on the basis of a scrawled dosage note (by a more senior Muslim accomplice).
Who are you to run your mouth like that? You’ve got a lot of hutzpah.
