Nurse says “I support Hamas,” Tells Detractors “Deport Me!”

An American nurse has found herself at the epicenter of a cause célèbre after a large pro-Israel account uncovered evidence showing that the healthcare provider admitted she supports Hamas a few months ago.

“I’ll stand with God and support Hamas over Israel any day of the week. Deport me! You can kiss my ass on the way out!” tweeted nurse Jennifer Fields, an American healthcare provider who created her account shortly after the October 7 attack on Israel.

Vivid — a pro-Israel Twitter account with over 360,000 followers — ignited a firestorm when he posted a memo about Fields on Thursday, asking, “I wonder if Jews or Israelis would feel safe under her medical care?”

Later in the week, Fields fired off a number of comments about Zionists and Israel supporters. She implied they are unintelligent by saying “they don’t really make the most sense” and that they are “on the wrong side of history.” 

She later argued that pro-Israel Americans are brainwashed and manipulated.

“They know what they’re manipulated to know. I broke out of that a year ago and never looked back,” Fields tweeted.

“Maybe somebody creeping on my tweets will learn a thing or two about the TRUTH: which is that Israel is a terrorist state that supports other ACTUAL terrorists and commits terrorist acts. The West deserves to know they’re being conned,” she claimed. 

In an interview with the Times of Israel, Fields doubled down on her support for Hamas, saying “Nevertheless, I stand by it — I would side with Hamas over Israel as it relates to the well-being of the Palestinian people any day.”

“It’s not a matter of Hamas being a moral, just entity; it’s a matter of the lesser of two evils.”

“I vehemently disagree with and condemn the Israeli government — and my own for that matter — for the oppression and complicity they are responsible for.”

“It’s because of the value that I place on all people that I simply cannot and will not accept the treatment of the Palestinian people or the way this war has been fought,” she added. 

She claimed that without Hamas, the Gazans may fall into a worse situation. 

“Still, I know there are concerns that in the absence of Hamas, there is potential for a more extreme group to move in, exactly like we’ve seen happen in Syria.”

In response to a chorus of concerned netizens who feared Fields might treat a Jewish or Israeli person negatively because of her views on the war, Fields countered that assumption in a Sunday conversation. 

“The idea is absurd that you could take that snapshot [from Vivid’s account] and from that decide the condition of someone’s heart…. because ultimately, that’s what’s being called into question here,” Fields told Times of Israel on Sunday. 

“As a nurse, the care you give to any and all people, whether you like them or don’t, agree with them or don’t — you do it with integrity, intention, and goodwill, because that’s what’s in your heart.”

“Now, if there are people who genuinely are concerned… that I harbor some kind of deep, murderous Jewish hate that would lead me to neglect them in some way…. my answer would be: No.”

“I take care of and advocate for everyone equally, and just as fiercely if necessary, as I advocate for the people of Gaza, because that’s the condition of my heart,” Fields claimed.
