Saira Rao, who bills herself as a “race campaigner,” is “genuinely terrified” about “Zionist” doctors — i.e., Jews — treating “Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, South Asian and black patients.” More on her antisemitic and baseless alarm can be found here: “American ‘anti-racism’ activist condemned over ‘terrified about Zionist doctors’ claim,” by Lee Harpin, Jewish News, January 3, 2024:
Saira Rao, founder of Race2Dinner, a group that aims to “help white women confront their own racism”, posted the inflammatory claim on X/formerly known as Twitter.
How amusing it must be to hear Saima Rao’s psycho-psychological vaporings as — for pay, of course — she helps “white women to confront their own racism. “I’d love to see the role-playing, the therapeutic attempts to make those “white women” aware of their own racism as they sit in a circle, and each in turn adduces the evidence of her own “racism” and begs to be helped to be “cured” of her illness. And every confession of racism is then followed by an intervention by Saira Rao, as the self-appointed “healer,” suggesting how each of these women can overcome the wickedness in their own racist souls to become….just like Saira Rao. For she, perhaps uniquely, has not a racist bone in her body. Just ask her.
When it [Rao’s tweet at X] was widely condemned as being antisemitic, Rao, who has been widely ridiculed for earlier posts about pop star Taylor Swift and “white nonsense” refused to back down, claiming “the majority of Zionists are Christian.”
Apparently Rao was exercised that Taylor Swift was named TIME’s Person of the Year, despite the singer not having spoken out on the “genocide” being carried out in Gaza, when Swift — Rao claimed — had only to mention the matter and her tens of millions of followers would immediately rise up and demand that their governments intervene to halt that “genocide,” Rao has a most peculiar belief in the power of celebrities — especially such naïve nitwits as the twerking Taylor Swift — to influence foreign policies.
The 49-year-old author had first tweeted: “Realising how many American doctors and nurses are Zionists and [I am] genuinely terrified for Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, South Asian and Black patients — even more than usual. And usually it’s bad.”
Have you heard of any American medical personnel who are “Zionists” (i.e. Jews) being accused by anyone other than Saira Rao of providing substandard treatment to their “Arab, Muslim, South Asian and Black patients”? Of course not. In fact, the people who are most knowledgeable about the matter, Israeli Arabs, are quite content with the treatment they receive in Israeli hospitals by Israeli — both Jewish and Arab — doctors and nurses.
Furthermore, every single Palestinian leader who has needed advanced medical care has sought out such care from Israeli Jewish doctors. Mahmoud Abbas was treated for cardiac trouble by a Jewish doctor who made house calls to him in Ramallah. Abbas has also made sure that his wife, his brother, and his brother-in-law were all treated by Israeli doctors. It’s particularly striking that his brother Abu Louai, who suffers from cancer, was brought to Israel for treatment, because he lives in Qatar and had access to the most advanced medical care, in brand-new hospitals in Doha; on which no expense was spared. Nonetheless, Abbas insisted he be treated in Israel. Abbas’ brother-in-law also underwent heart surgery in an Israeli hospital — surgery that saved his life. And his wife, too, was operated on by an Israeli surgeon.
Nor is Abbas the only Palestinian leader to seek “Zionist” medical care. When Saeb Erekat, the PA’s senior propagandist and negotiator, came down with COVID-19, instead of being treated in a Palestinian hospital, he insisted on being admitted to Hadassah University Hospital Ein Kerem. Even Yahya Sinwar, one of the leaders of Hamas, received life-saving treatment from Israeli doctors. While imprisoned for the murders of several Israelis, in 2008 Sinwar was operated on for a brain tumor by Israeli doctors who managed to save his life. In 2014 Ismail Haniyeh, the undisputed leader of Hamas, insisted that his daughter be provided emergency treatment at Ichilov Hospital by Israeli doctors, after she experienced complications following a routine procedure by doctors in Gaza. Haniyah’s sister was also treated in an Israeli hospital several years ago following an emergency. And his granddaughter was once airlifted by helicopter from Gaza to the same Israeli hospital for emergency treatment. Of course, the Palestinian leaders keep all this secret from their own people and from the wider public; these treatments by Israeli doctors don’t jibe with the constant attacks on Israel for its “genocide”; furthermore, ordinary Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank would be angry to learn that their leaders have been getting special treatment in Israeli hospitals that is only rarely available to them.
In sum: Saira Rao needs to know that Mahmoud Abbas, along with his wife, brother, and brother-in-law, the P.A.’s chief propagandist Saeb Erekat, the Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, and overall head of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh’s sister, daughter, and grand-daughter were all treated – at their desperate request, by the “Zionist” doctors who so alarm Saira Rao.

We all know that muslim doctors have mistreated their jewish and non islamic patients. They prescribed the wrong medicines and done other actions to harm their patients. They have even stated publicly they would do it. I would never go to a muslim for anything in medical care or in anything else in life. You turn your back on them and they stab you.

mozlums frequently stab from the front.

I would like to say to her ugly face: I don’t need nor want any of your so-called “help” to confront what you exhibit…racism and hatred.
Some of the best, most skilled, doctors I ever had were Jews…and male. And they had many Black patients who got the same care.
She isn’t “anti-” racist. She is flat-out racist and stupidly proud of that fact.
mgoldberg says
The issue is fundamental. The doctors who are ‘Jewish’ are commited to the concept of do no harm. And that is not some gossamer slogan but something that is bedrock and part of the entirety of Jewish history. If someone who is Jewish, simply can’t provide care that is what they would and could provide to anyone else, then they should defer to their inability and not treat the patient. But that is not an issue now or ever for Jewish doctors, as Hugh points out in his post. But…. here’s the reality. Arab doctors, particularly muslim doctors have been howling about their desire to hurt Jewish patients, and have so posted in social media for years now. And the call then, by non muslims to have these ‘healers’ prevented from licensure, were greeted with labels of Islamophobia. That this numbskull DEI perver-apologies to other perverts who likely are not addicted to evil projection as she is- gets away with this toilet bowl accusation, without howls coming from other muslims especially in Israel, who’ve benefited so many many times from Israeli medicine and Jewish doctors, is instructive. No one is allowed to disagree with the Jihadist, fascist viewpoint. Lest they be harmed by the muslim Jihadist groups that control Islamic societies.

Easy to solve this “problem”. All Palestinians should refuse to be treated at an Israeli Hospital and instead demand that only Muslim doctors in Gaza or the west bank treat them. Especially for cancer care.
Martha Lewis says
This Muslim Doctor was treating patients for cancer and removing body parts of women who never had cancer. He made patients take chemotherapy for fictitious cancers and after doing this to many people here in America, he was caught. Another Muslim doctor was amputating people’s limbs telling patients that their limbs had to be amputated due to gangrene. Those people never had gangrene or any reason for having their limbs removed until he was caught. And all these happened here in America while the doctors were making extreme amounts of money. And there are many other stories in the news about these unscrupulous criminals who practice jihad doing medicine. When I go to the dentist or a doctor I am very careful to find out if the doctor is a Muslim to avoid him or her like the plague.

Is this lunatic racist a person that lots of people listen to? I suppose the ravings of any lunatic will actually find an audience, quite small I would hope, for their demented view of things these days. As someone who lives far away from the USA in Australia, my first reaction was “who the hell is she?” I suppose that she has found her little niche, her little money earner, like any con artists or grifter by spouting her racist, hate-filled views. Many on the left would, no doubt, love her
FYI says
She must have that thing the lefties call “White Privilege”.That’s where you have to feel responsible for all the ills. in society.So she needs to blame herself….lead by example.Like those white folk in BLM, i think they have this condition too.It is a Lefty thing.
Start by blaming yourself Ms Rao-it is ALL your fault.You have “white privilege”.
James Lincoln says
While in training, I learned a lot from Jewish physicians.
They can be very demanding of interns and residents, but only if they are not holding up their end of the log.
