NYU Fires Prestigious Cancer Doctor for Supporting Israel
Western Journal ^ | 11/21/23 | Andrew Jose

Dr. Benjamin Neel, the former director of the Perlmutter Cancer Center, filed the lawsuit Thursday in the New York State Supreme Court, claiming he was a “casualty” of the cancer center’s “ill-considered plan to feign the appearance of even-handedness,” Business Insider reported.

Neel also accused the university of religious discrimination in his lawsuit, claiming that NYU “did not engage in any process” aside from a 10-minute interview with human resources prior to his dismissal from the institute, according to reporting from the independent student-run campus newspaper Washington Square News.

Their loss. He’s welcome to continue his work at Hadassah Har Tzofim, Hadassah Ein Karem or Mt. Sinai. We got some world-class physicians here, so he’ll be in good company, and world-class facilities in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Be’er Sheva...

Palestinian supporters get free reign to threaten Jews in America, but American Jews are supposed to sit silently and take it.

FNYU!

So he got fired for sharing posts that criticized other posts which supported violence and death towards others?

I seriously do not think the hospital will do well at all, in this lawsuit.

This is not the first time this left wing communist school has been in the news. No one should send their kids there.

Just like the Left and the Right. The Left condones violence against the Right then Blame the Right for committing it.

Perlmutter is an Ashkenazi Jewish name. The Perlmutter family who funded the cancer center also should take their money back.

Thank you, I was not aware of the Ashkenazi goup of Jews.


Perlmutter Genealogy

The vast majority of Argentine Jews are descended from immigrants who arrived from Europe. These ashkenazic Jews migrated from small towns or shtetels of Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Germany, Romania or Ukraine, leaving behind most of their Jewish relatives. After two or three generations, those Jewish families lost track of their relatives, having been saved from the war, emigrated to other countries like USA, England or Australia.

It is unbelievable how, all of a sudden, so many individuals and organizations are bursting forth with their no longer hidden or disguised hatred and antisemitism.   (One aspect of all this evil that may serve at least a small purpose, is that they will never be able to pretend again, and present a phony facade that is believable.)

Never Again! The hate has boiled up within the ranks of the Democrat Party. Welcome all Jews to a new home within the Republican Party. We support Israel and so does Trump! Help us Make America Great Again! Trump is the best friend Israel ever had.
