NYC ER doctor terminated after pro-Hamas comments on Instagram, says Israelis got 'a taste of their own medicine'

An emergency room physician in New York City has been terminated after it was discovered she took to social media to praise Hamas' horrific attack at a music festival in Israel on October 7, adding that the incident gave Jews "a taste of their own medicine."

Dr. Dana Diab served as a physician at both Lenox Hill Hospital and Brookdale University Hospital & Medical Center, according to the New York Post. The report stated that Diab shared a video of the October 7 attack by Hamas on her Instagram Stories.

X account StopAntisemitism posted a screenshot of the Instagram post, writing: "NYC - Dr. Dana Diab is an ER physician at Lenox Hill (@lenoxhill). Dina [sic] Diab took to Instagram rejoicing Zionist settlers [aka jews] were murdered, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped by the Hamas terror group on Saturday October 7th. Jewish patients beware."

A second screenshot showed Diab's homepage on Instagram, which appeared to suggest she had 602 followers and a Palestine emoji flag on her profile. However, at the time of this report, Diab's Instagram profile has been made private.

It was confirmed Tuesday that Northwell Health posted to X that Diab is no longer employed by the hospital system.

Northwell wrote: "We've been alerted to discriminatory comments that appear to have been posted by a team member regarding the crisis in the Middle East. These views don't represent Lenox Hill Hospital & Northwell Health & go against our core values. We are investigating & taking immediate action."

Northwell Health confirmed Tuesday morning that Diab no longer worked for the hospital system.

“We are deeply sorry for the hurt and offense these comments have caused,” Northwell wrote on X.

“These views do not represent Lenox Hill Hospital and Northwell Health and go against our core values. The team member is no longer employed with Northwell.”

The Post noted that it was able to get in touch with Diab, who claimed that she "never called for harm to anyone," adding that "I never have and never will abdicate my duty and my oath as a physician."

Since Hamas' attacks against Israel, there has been much support expressed for Palestine throughout the U.S., including many individuals associated with Harvard University. The university has managed to lose a substantial amount of support since the Hamas attacks, which it has refused to condemn.
