WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - A New York City hospital fired a Palestinian American Muslim nurse after she called Israel’s war in Gaza a “genocide” during an acceptance speech for an award for her work with bereaved mothers who lost their children during pregnancy and childbirth.
A spokesperson of the hospital, NYU Langone Health, said on Thursday that labor and delivery nurse Hesen Jabr had previously been warned not to bring her views “on this divisive and charged issue into the workplace.”
Jabr posted on Instagram that she was awarded on May 7, when she made her remarks, adding that she was handed a termination letter later in the month.
Damn, I ain’t saying shit about this genocide at work.
Honestly it’s best to not bring up anything other then work at work lol.
I keep it pretty much complete separated from my real life.
Then =/= than
That’s the point; suppressing free speech. If you want the death of all Palestinians they won’t punish you for that.
