Lara Kollab, the first-year medical resident in Ohio who for years has been tweeting antisemitic rants, including one where she said she would give yahoods (Jews) the wrong “meds,” has been advised to post an “apology,” no doubt ghostwritten by some PR firm. She has done so. It won’t do.
Here’s her attempt:
The Ohio doctor who came under scrutiny recently after a number of antisemitic tweets she wrote were unearthed has issued an apology.
Lara Kollab — a graduate of the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine — has faced calls for the revocation of her medical license over dozens of tweets she made between 2011 and 2017, including a 2012 threat to “purposely give all the yahood the wrong meds.” The Arabic term “yahood” means Jews in English.
Last week, the Cleveland Clinic — where Kollab worked as a supervised, first-year medical resident starting this past July until September — confirmed that she was fired due to the tweets.
In a lengthy blog post published on Friday, Kollab commented publicly for the first time on the controversy.
She wrote:
“Several social media comments posted on my twitter account years ago have surfaced recently, causing pain, anguish, and a public outcry. I wish sincerely and unequivocally to apologize for the offensive and hurtful language contained in those posts. This statement is not intended to excuse the content of the posts, but rather to demonstrate that those words do not represent who I am and the principles I stand for today.”
Nonsense. Kollab did not post only “several” antisemitic comments, but many dozens, over many years, from 2011 on. The comments were not posted “years ago,” as she would like you to think. The last such comment was made scarcely more than a year ago, in 2017. Kollab has since attempted to delete the tweets, but a little late; they had already been recorded by CanaryMission.org.
The most discussed of her tweets is a threat she made to deliberately murder Jews, or at least make them ill: “I’ll probably give all the yahoods [Jews] the wrong meds. …” This is of course a violation of the Hippocratic Oath she took, but there were many other statements in the same vein, such as “Destroy the homes of the Jews” and, “May Allah end the lives of the Jews.”
When she was first notified that these tweets had been found, she denied having written them, and claimed they were from a false account — presumably set up to get her in trouble. Only after having been confronted with dozens of such tweets, and with overwhelming internal evidence that she was indeed their author, did Lara Kollab finally admit to having written them.
“I visited Israel and the Palestinian Territories every summer throughout my adolescent years. I became incensed at the suffering of the Palestinians under the Israeli occupation. The injustice and brutality of the occupation continues to concern me, and I believe every champion of human rights owes it to humanity to work towards a just and peaceful resolution of this crisis.”
This remark does not show much remorse. Instead she repeats the usual extreme complaints about “the suffering of the Palestinians under the Israeli occupation” and about the “injustice and brutality” of the Israelis. Not a word about the endless terrorist attacks by the “Palestinians” in the West Bank, nothing about the missiles shot at civilian targets in Israel from Gaza, nothing about the pay-for-slay program by which the PA rewards terrorists and their families, giving generous lifetime payments for killing Israelis, nothing about the inculcation of murderous hatred of Jews in very young “Palestinian” children on television shows, nothing about the same hatred taught older children in textbooks,, nothing about the random murders of Jews, in workplaces, on the street, in pizza parlors, in homes, in cars, on buses, everywhere in Israel, by “Palestinian” terrorists. She sees only the “injustice and brutality” of those terrible Israelis; the “Palestinians” of Hamas and Fatah, though they have not hidden their intent to destroy the Jews and their state, are in her view entirely innocent victims.
“As a girl in my teens and early twenties, I had difficulty constructively expressing my intense feelings about what I witnessed in my ancestral land. Like many young people lacking life experience, I expressed myself by making insensitive remarks and statements of passion devoid of thought, not realizing the harm and offense these words would cause.”
In other words, Lara Kollab had no idea that threatening to murder Jews might have consequences. Yes, she now realizes, I suppose it is “insensitive” to express my desire to murder Jews with the wrong “meds.” And how, at my young age, could I have known that not everyone seeing my tweets shared my views, and some might report me. How was I to know that threatening, as a doctor, to kill my Jewish patients might be taken amiss, and cause “harm and offense” to people? But my last such tweet was “some years ago.” Oh, when? Yes, you’re right, in 2017. I had forgotten. But anyway, more than a year has gone by. Surely that’s enough time for me to have completely changed all of my views, and for you to believe that I have completely changed. Or are you one of those Jews — there are so many! — who never give us non-Jews an even break, but hold a grudge forever? How can you stand yourselves?

She was posting these comments as a young adult in medical school ,Just give her the stamp of mental ill like so many other jihadist and remove her from the medical profession where she could do more harm then good. You have the right to free speech, you do not have the right to threaten others because you are in a position to kill them as a doctor. I am sure there are jobs she is suited for ,there is always a job cleaning public bathrooms, or sweeping and cleaning trash from public parks were she can not be able to practice jihad voodoo medicine killing Jewish patients she has sworn a oath to protect and heal. The profession of being a doctor needs more healers ,not bigoted evil Islamic style killers ,she would fit right in with the old Nazi doctors of the “camps”. I am sorry I threated to kill my patients does not work ,you have broke that oath you took to become a doctor ,you can never regain the trust.

Young and foolish? Is she mature and wise now to refute all there is about Sharia law? Can she declare that the Jews are the indigenous people of what is called Israel, and that there was never a Palestinian state,country,entity of any kind? Will she declare that Israel is the eternal home of the Jewish people and apologize for spreading lies? Is she mature enough now to apologize to the Jewish people and to Israelis, specifically, and acknowledge that what they’ve done for and in that land in 70 years beats everything the Arabs/Muslims have done in all that land for 1400 years. Can she say how sorry she is that Muslims have killed 900 million people over 14 centuries and that she understands that Israelis work for the good of all? and that she understands that Israel is not an apartheid state?
I’d welcome hearing from her.

The word “I” is mentioned endlessly in her responses. It is not about her, but the patients she endangers. She must not be allowed to endanger patients. Perhaps she could be a use to those she is so concerned about in her “ancestral homeland.”

that is the rub none of them want to live ,work ,or make their “homeland” better they want our homeland to become an Islamic hellhole like their old “homelands”. They have no historic home lands they have invaded from place to place all over the world displacing, killing , raping ,slaving robbing the native cultures Christians , Jews, Hindus , and others .

Ms. Kollab, your career in medicine in the United States is over. You had better find another country where your future will be brighter. See if Clock Boy has any advice. Take your family with you.
