NYU Fires Prestigious Cancer Doctor for Supporting Israel

A Jewish cancer biologist who headed New York University Langone’s Perlmutter Cancer Center sued his employer for wrongful termination after he was allegedly fired for social media posts related to the current Israel-Gaza War.

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.

The Perlmutter Cancer Center “unceremoniously dumped” Neel after he reshared social media posts criticizing “people who supported the violence toward and death of Israelis” during the Oct. 7 terror attacks carried out by Hamas against southern Israel, the complaint stated, according to Business Insider.

According to the lawsuit, Neel’s employer first suspended him over his reposts on X before terminating him on Nov. 10 in what he alleged to be a violation of the employee agreement, Business Insider

It was an inevitable and predictable side effect of Critical Race Theory.

In current Leftist doctrine, one is not allowed to take the side of white people against “people of color” on any issue.

Palestinians have been designated “oppressed POC”. Jews are designed white. No it doesn’t matter that most Palis are lighter skinned than many Israelis.

Long term, this will be upsetting to many Jewish leftists.

What about Bnei Menashe? They’re from northern India and look Chinese.

“Actually Trump does bear some responsibility for this.”

Ashkenazi Jews, this paper from MIT posits, selected for intelligence over the centuries in Eastern Europe. Other studies have shown higher than average intelligence among Ashkenazim. Maybe that's why many were attracted to medicine and science. Jews are disproportionately represented among Nobel prizewinners in the sciences.

One-of-five Nobel Prize Laureates are Jewish

Yes, many in the Middle East are the smart kids on the block.

Now in the US as in NY, they have both. Bright and not bright.

One of the interesting points in the links is that those Ashkenazi who were studied excelled in math but not so much in spacial relations, a male-linked aptitude found in engineers, industrial designers, architects... Name one famous Jewish architect on the level of Venturi, Frank Lloyd Wright or I.M. Pei—I can't (although some notable ones exist, like Frank Gehry and Louis Kahn). Their middling scores on the spatial aptitude, averaged with their outstanding scores in math, lowered their average overall IQ score, which was still almost 20% higher than average.

(Donald Trump seems to excel in that spacial aptitude area, according to things I've read about his real estate career.)
