The Betrayal of Jews by Trusted Professionals
Imagine this: You’re sprawled out on a hospital gurney, chest tight, praying the doctor hovering above you knows their craft. You’re a regular American, maybe a little Magen David keychain dangling from your jeans, proud of your roots, hopeful for the future. Then you learn this very doctor, who literally holds your life in their hands, has been cheering Hamas online, calling the mass murder of men, women, and children on October 7, 2023, an act of “resistance.” Your nurse, steadying your IV line, is the same person who tweeted, “May Israeli soldiers meet their ancestors soon.” Your kid’s middle school teacher denies the massacre, claiming it was all “faked” while spreading ancient blood libels dressed up in modern hashtags. Your therapist, yes, the one you pay to help you heal, has marked Jewish colleagues as “white oppressors” for refusing to denounce the only Jewish state. And your yoga instructor, sipping herbal tea and lighting incense, shrugs off the abduction of Jewish toddlers but launches crowdfunding campaigns for Gaza, never once naming the terror group holding hostages underground.
This isn’t speculative. This is the United States in 2025.
The Hippocratic Oath Now Comes with a Disclaimer
Jews built a nation from ashes. A people displaced for centuries reclaimed a patch of ancestral land and turned it into a democracy, a tech hub, and a refuge in a region addicted to tyranny. For this, we now witness betrayal from pediatricians and professors. From social workers and schoolteachers. From licensed professionals who have traded objectivity for ideology and compassion for cruelty.
It’s not symbolic anymore. It’s real, and it’s personal.
When the Trusted Start Cheering the Butchers
Imagine it again: You’re in an ER, and the physician smiles at the news of young concertgoers shot point-blank. A teacher assigned to instruct your child on history reposts memes saying, “The Zionists harvest organs.” A university faculty group votes to fly the flag of a terror organization that beheaded families. A mental health counselor trained to help victims of trauma posts that Jewish grief is “weaponized whiteness.” A social worker working with at-risk youth casually forwards unverified casualty stats from Hamas-run agencies while ignoring the thousands of rockets fired at civilians.
They call themselves healers. But they’re poisoning the well.
Compassion Has Been Hijacked by Cowardice
These are not fringe extremists. These are board-certified, tenured, licensed professionals. So why do they fall for this grotesque inversion of morality?
Because many no longer seek truth, they seek approval. They mistake algorithmic virality for virtue. They’ve replaced ethics with hashtags and facts with performative outrage. They chase causes that trend well on campus or sound “decolonial” in a faculty lounge but ignore the cold, clinical evidence: Hamas is a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. Its charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Jews. And on October 7, it acted on that charter.
The Numbers Don’t Lie But Too Many People Do
A 2024 Pew study found that 33% of Americans under 30 support Palestinians over Israelis. A Harvard-Harris poll revealed that half of 18–24-year-olds think Israel should be “ended and handed to Hamas.” Meanwhile, just 38% of that age group supported Israel’s military response to October 7. Nearly 34% openly justified Hamas’s slaughter.
That’s not political activism. That’s indoctrination. They’re not “misinformed”; they’re fed a steady diet of propaganda from influencers who glorify terror and sanitize barbarism. The result? A generation that thinks Jewish self-defense is genocide and terrorism is self-expression.
Jewish Professionals Are Being Squeezed from Every Side
Meanwhile, Jewish professionals are suffocating. A 2024 study revealed that over 75% of Jewish doctors and med students say antisemitism has spiked dramatically since October 7. Nearly 40% face open hostility at work, from colleagues who justify mass murder to patients who request “non-Jewish providers.” Hospitals have canceled Chanukah displays to “avoid tension.” In Canada, 31% of Jewish physicians are considering emigration. Teachers are silenced by unions pushing “Zionists F— Off” posters. Therapists have been blocklisted in Chicago for merely being Jewish. Professors hide their affiliations to avoid harassment. Social workers report that empathy training excludes Jewish suffering.
One Jewish therapist said, “I feel I can only exist here if I publicly denounce Israel. That’s the cost of entry.”
Let’s Stop Pretending This Is “Criticism”
This isn’t a debate. It’s desecration. When you call Israel “a plague,” when you deny that Hamas raped and burned women alive, when you cheer terrorists and blocklist Jewish colleagues, you’re not an activist. You’re an antisemite. Full stop. And we’ve seen this film before. Just under different flags.
There Must Be Consequences, Not Conversations
Some institutions have responded. Mount Sinai fired a doctor for praising Hamas. Lenox Hill Hospital terminated another for mocking the murdered. Several schools suspended teachers for spreading lies. Good. But it’s not enough. Every clinic, classroom, campus, and counseling office must draw a moral line. Jewish patients deserve care, not curses. Jewish kids deserve history, not hate. Jewish professionals deserve dignity, not demands to erase themselves.
Being Jewish Is Not Safe Anymore Even in the Healing Professions
Jewish souls are under siege. And it’s not just on campuses or streets. It’s in therapy sessions, classrooms, and clinics where antisemitism wears a badge, carries a clipboard, and speaks in soothing tones.
The world keeps testing the Jews. And somehow, they keep surviving.
From Pharaoh to Hitler, now to influencers in scrubs and lanyards, the Jewish people endure because resilience runs in their blood. Because truth doesn’t die when it’s shouted down.
Jews are unbreakable. They are the pulse of resilience. And Israel, where Jews live, love, and refuse to vanish, is a fortress of light. Even as it sends aid to its enemies, it remains the moral compass in a compass-less world.
The doctors, teachers, and therapists who betray Jewish trust think they’re safe behind credentials. But they’ve crossed a line. A red line.
And we see them.
Am Yisrael Chai.
