The innocent civilians of Gaza kidnapping Yarden Bibas. Bibas is seen on a motorcycle, bloodied and surrounded by men pulling, choking, tauting, screaming at him and taking selfies as they pull his beard. May each and every one of these bastards suffer in this world & the next.
@Patricia_Ann_E
That's horrifying. And infuriating
It's not the first time I've heard of school policies where "all meds need to be locked up, no exceptions"
A friend in DC had to switch her child to private school just to have guaranteed Epi-Pen access, and full time school nurse coverage 🤬
@conor64
The social justice coded position is that Jews are hyper white privileged oppressors, thus incapable of being injured or oppressed, who can only be redeemed from their original sin if they renounce their hyperwhite Jewish privilege by supporting Hmas
Can't make this up 🤦♀️
@Potato_Chip
@RyanMarino
A few years back I cared for a trached patient who was known to be angry and difficult, but I didn't find him especially so.
Apparently it was because I listened to him, and didn't get mad back when he was upset, which helped him be less angry
@GABAGOOLMODER
Lol now do the Arab towns, how many Jews live there?
Then tell me how Petah Tikva compares to Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv- considered far more desirable
Or, just admit you're shockingly ignorant of Israel and have never even been
@MonetName
@aziz0nomics
Pssst...Just because you're getting paid by Russia/Iran/Qatar doesn't actually mean everyone else is in someone's pocket
We call that "projection"
@afalkhatib
Also of note: there was at least one building reported that the IDF tried to evacuate but the adults contacted refused and said they'd rather they and their children be martyred
That's what Israel is facing
@espiers
Truth can never racist
But covering up the truth- because it's uncomfortable or inconvenient- very often is racist
Worry more about searching for truth and less about predetermined optics and narratives, and see where that journey can take you
Good luck 👍
@geraldcelente
Correct, they aren't hostages
They are mass murderers and rapists who were captured red handed and are correctly facing justice
So glad we cleared that up!
@birgitomo
Yes. And there needs to be more consequences for it
Last week my patient mistreated his Black CNA. When I set a boundary with him, he tried to excuse it by "all Black people [...racist trash]"
I just looked at him, and repeated the boundary
He at least got quiet after that
@Nicole_Lee_Sch
I'm so sorry 💜
As a COVID RN who's been several kinds of a Debbie downer these 2+yrs, (pandemic isn't ending soon, hospitals aren't ok, we are still seeing [Bad Stuff], no that doesn't sound safe) I think I've also experienced something like this. Grieving some old friendships
@birgitomo
Really, any education nurses and CNAs get about handling this needs to be accompanied by education admin get about doing their part to enforce standards of behavior and have their backs
@code_blieu
@transplantID
This!
And if there is something actually urgent, it costs nothing and often makes things smoother for all if I quickly and politely acknowledge the other and why I need to interrupt
@theonewhocare10
@DGlaucomflecken
no one is being forced to get vaccinated
if they want to sit at home, unvaccinated but endangering no one, they are free to do so
what they don't have is a right to enter the hospital unvaccinated and harm their patients and coworkers
@DovWaxman
@UCLA
You seem to have missed the Jewish girls who were beaten, one unconscious. Or the Jewish man chased and hit by a mob who tried to taser him
But tell me again how the pro-Israel camp was "provocative"?
@theonewhocare10
@DGlaucomflecken
I can tell you about brave though
brave is entering the hospital every goddam day before the vaccine, with shoddy and reused PPE, wondering when I'd get sick
brave is gambling that my biologic immunosuppressant was a survivable risk factor

This is where I like to chime in "Oh? I hear they get younger every year!" and give the speaker a 🤨

@DeynzerShelby
I think most of us ultimately prefer to work in an environment where ppl support and encourage each other rather than playing "gotcha!"
If you continue in that spirit when you encounter another HCW who doesn't know something yet, I expect that scrub nurse would be proud of you
Not like Jews have ever had a generation of orphans who lost their parents and their childhoods, amirite?
And you know what? We *never* behaved like Hmas
Not even in the DP camps or Maabarot
Hmas is not "oppressed resistance"
They're just the Klan of the Levant
honestly just fuck everyone who demonizes hamas. a great percentage of those freedom fighters are orphans who’ve lost their parents and normal upbringings to israeli terrorist attacks. “every life is precious”, so was their parents’. and that’s why they fight colonizers.
@HowidyHamza
There's no war crimes. Just war. There's no other way to remove Hmas, I think you know that. The IDF is following all the ethical standards for protecting civilians and then some. IDF soldiers are already dying to reduce risk to your people. But even so there are limits
1/
@aziz0nomics
They are intrinsically worth the same, but that's not quite what the sign means
The primary job of a gov't is to protect their own people first
It is an abomination that Hmas does the opposite
This is not fixed by demands on Israel to sacrifice their own people *more*
For everyone confused about "but aren't Ashkenazi Jews just Europeans?"
No. In Europe we were treated as foreign interlopers and infidels, called "the Palestinians among us" and an "Arab horde"
Only after our genocide were we called European. 🧵
@yousefiaa
@isaacdecastrog
But how did Ashkenazi Jews get there? 🤔
We were exiled from Judea 🇮🇱 as slaves and captives to Rome 🇮🇹. Some moved north into the Holy Roman Empire 🇫🇷 🇩🇪. When we were slaughtered and ethnically cleansed as scapegoats during Black Death, we fled East to the 🇵🇱 🇱🇹 Comm

My favorite part is how much more support this legislation seems to have, compared to say, mandated safe staffing and safe working conditions for nurse 🙃
@fadhly_z
@DrewPavlou
Ahh yes as decreed by [checks notes] Stalin 🙄
Jews are not from Siberia, and have no desire either to help Russia in its settler colonialism in Siberia, or to self deport to exile there
PS: have you noticed the USSR is gone?
@ArafehLaith
Not a war crime; the very definition of a valid military target
Though since you mention it, Hmas deliberately embedding military infrastructure in civilian neighborhoods IS a war crime
So glad we had this chat!
@JewishWarrior13
Egypt may not even have been involved
We only gave Hmas claims that they were. Meanwhile, Israeli news says Egypt wasn't
I suspect this is solely a Hmas-Qatar game
Israeli official tells
@GLZRadio
: Hamas approved a ceasefire deal which was never discussed with Egypt. They're trying to make us look like we're rejecting a deal.
Meet Hind Khoudary. Tonight she's a star reporter for Channel 4. She's also famous for having informed on Rami Aman & other Gaza peace activists, getting Hamas to arrest them for the crime of doing a zoom with Israeli peace activists. Shame on you

@SouthernMarxist
Yet your great store of compassion leads you to blame Shani Louk for being raped and murdered, for the "crime" of dancing near a hostile border?
We Jews are real people who want to live. We are not the scapegoat for your Catholic guilt problems, go deal with that on your time
These "antizionists" really think beating up Diaspora Jews will Free Palestine™️
What they will accomplish is driving US Jews to flee to Israel, and further strengthen Israel
Not a single country that has driven out its Jews has prospered after. It's been tried, extensively
Anti-Israel protesters in New York City hit a Jewish man in the head with a chair.
They taunt him as he starts bleeding.
One of the sounds a lot like Nelson Muntz
@hkhan009
@BriannaWu
Nope
1. The US supports plenty of other nations, many of which routinely violate humanitarian law (see: civil rights in Egypt and Saudi Arabia)
2. Israel follows international law *as actually written*
3. The world loves to make up new rules just for Israel
Why? 🤔

And?
The way physicians (all genders) interact with my male nurse coworkers is not the way they interact with me and my female nurse coworkers (I have to tiptoe much more)
There's a fair body of research on the "glass escalator" men encounter in classically female fields"

You aren't the victim, Amira
You're a supporter of perpetrators mad about them facing consequences
Zionists don't cheer bombs-- You're projecting from how Palestinians cheer murdered and kidnapped Jews

@Sinmiaraoye
@ChrisMukasaMD
While I suspect I haven't seen the half of it, even when all nurses are being treated poorly by physicians (my former for-profit hospital), I've seen black female nurses treated worst of all- it was horrific. I reported a few docs on their behalf so they wouldn't stand alone
@habibixbt
She does not specialize in middle eastern history, and she is mocking and dissmissive of both 1) well documented facts, 2) Tamer recounting family history
This is more than bad taste. It's ideological blindness
But you are like her- aren't you 🙃
@JustJ_RN
@kkidia
I wish more docs would examine the role physicians play in creating a punitive culture bin which nurses work
We are often damned if we do, damned if we don't, by the very same docs
Please listen more, and talk at/about us less
@MOSSADil
So they *don't* want civilians to be evacuated from a war zone?
Or they want Israel to fight only with sunshine and rainbows and magic bullets?
How is this supposed to work?
Is the US ready yet to squeeze Iran and Qatar?
@fairylilymyth
Much of the left ignored it in real time 🙃
It was awkward for anyone who believes only white supremacists can be antisemitic. And no one wanted to risk being canceled for IsLaMaPhOBiA 🙄
Nevermind that the local mosque denounced it and supported the Jewish community 🤷♀️
@toJamesConnor
@BarakRavid
@ErinBurnett
None of that is true
The war cabinet was willing to wait and see what the deal was. When it was revealed to be a sick farce, they unanimously rejected it and voted to start operating in Rafah
This is not Netanyahu's war. The actual Hmas "offer" is not accepted in Israel
@ShuckMyBhauls
@YisraelChaiAdam
@Abasine_bosnae
Oh honey, you still believe all that? Bless your heart
1. Because they literally filmed themselves joining the third wave
2. No. Inactive reservists at a dance party are NOT combatants under international law
3. Israel is small, never far from a border. Also, victim blaming
@BurgartBioethix
Also, if they really want to cap our wages, it would be nice if they'd also help us with our student loans, which are a significant motivating factor for nurses (myself included) taking travel gigs
A Dublin hotel cancelled the reservations of Irish born Thomas Hand and father of kidnapped daughter Emily age 9 held by

All of you who believe this, please go pull up some weather reports from Gaza and check how often it gets cold. Let alone "extremely cold"
Then go learn about how misinformation and propaganda work
@elicalebon
The *only* potentially viable alternative to a military removal of Hmas is coordinated maximal international diplomatic pressure/ sanctions on Qatar, Turkey, and the IRI
If anything, the opposite it happening - they've paid *no price at all* for sponsoring Hmas.
@realMaalouf
As an Ashkenazi Jew in the Diaspora, it's beautiful seeing this kind of ✡️ ✝️ solidarity
My ancestors could not have imagined this. There were righteous individual ✝️ friends but rarely at a communal level (WW2 Denmark maybe?)
Truly a miracle of the state of Israel 🇮🇱
@afalkhatib
If Israelis were truly convinced that this would bring peace, there would be a reenergizing of the left and a strong political will to do this
But even before 10/7, the Israeli peace camp was shattered by the 2nd intifada and the rocket attacks, and reluctant to gamble again
@Khaledhzakariah
It's a lovely name and nothing antithetical to Judaism. Why do people think you should have to give up the name your mother gave you??

Too many of those "clever jokes" are transparent at best and rude at worst
Physicians who honestly acknowledge what they don't know and thank people who help them earn far more respect and trust in the long run
@EM_RESUS
Yes, a thousand times this
Importantly: a nurse being worried doesn't have to have to be 100% predictive in order to be valuable. 60-70% is better than any other early warning system
This is also why it's so important for providers to truly listen, not dismissively reassure us

The standard of care for preemies without incubators is skin-to-skin with a caregiver for body temp regulation
If the incubators were down, they should have had people- maybe all those "displaced civilians" - taking shifts snuggling those babies

I remember being told my autoimmune dx was d/t a "lifestyle choice" 🙃
@dj_suto
I know EDs are basically on fire right now, but ideally that should have been arranged in advance and not discussed in front of you ☹

FWIW I liked showing med students the ropes, for all that like any precepting it was extra work
@HowidyHamza
There would have been zero (0) civilian casualties during her rescue if Hmas hadn't started firing automatic weapons and throwing RPGs into a crowded shuk when they realized she was escaping
They could have had mercy on their people at least and let her get away

Adam. It matters because hijabi Muslim women do not *happen* to walk around holding Jewish prayer books. Trust me
It matters because it means she stole his prayer book
That's why he's angry
This pic does not make the case for Palestinians you think it does 🤔
@moghaoui
I mean this crowd does consider Israel to be entirely stolen land, although that is not the story they're telling to justify the pogrom
Apparently Jews have the right to buy land anywhere in the world... except Israel
It's an old story
@HowidyHamza
My fave part of the statement was where they promised to disarm but also insisted no foreign forces would be allowed in their territory. In other words "trust us" 🙃
And of course it's getting reported as a serious offer 🤦♀️
Only news I see is that they're getting nervous
@HowidyHamza
I know you want a state
But a timetable is extremely dangerous. It risks overriding other conditions in global opinion, and this requiring nothing but waiting out the clock, leaving extremists still empowered
After an atrocity like 10/7 statehood actually does need to be earned
@MillionWomen
Oh please
No one is discrediting you
You have only discredited yourselves
You are not the victim, nor being oppressed
Now, can you denounce the mass rape and sexual torture of Israeli girls, women, men, boys on 10/7, full stop?
I'll wait 😒
@Jonathan_Elk
Right? You yourself were a refugee as a child
But IIRC Israel resettled your family and gave you citizenship, instead of keeping you frozen in stateless poverty as a weapon in the next war
@EM_RESUS
Also: besides the primary danger to the patient, this is also a major source of moral distress for nurses when we are trying to prevent a bad outcome but getting blown off
I got pretty good at fighting, but I'm still haunted by the times it wasn't enough
@DrewPavlou
Drew, what if you *don't* use our Torah to declare that we should martyr ourselves instead of defending ourselves?

You're literally making up numbers several times worse than even Hmas's debunked numbers
