EXCLUSIVE: Watchdog Demands Medical Schools Not Comply With ‘Antisemitic’ Rule
Share:
Medical watchdog group Do No Harm sent letters to every U.S. medical school on Wednesday demanding that they not comply with the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations’ (IFMSA) “blatantly antisemitic” suspension of an Israeli student group.
IFMSA suspended the Federation of Israeli Medical Students (FIMS) in August claiming the group had “a lack of morals and humanitarian values” in reference to the Israel-Hamas war, according to Israeli news outlet Ynet. Do No Harm warned medical schools that implementing the IFMSA’s suspension of FIMS would violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, according to the letters obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Our organizations and our membership are concerned about rising antisemitism and discrimination in medical education in the United States,” the letters read. “Discrimination against Jews, Israelis, or those associated with Israeli medical institutions is never justified, regardless of your political viewpoints.”
