Hesen Jabr says New York University’s Langone hospital fired her after she made remarks while accepting award for her work
Hesen Jabr, 34, a labor and delivery nurse who worked at NYU Langone for nearly 10 years, made the remarks while accepting an award earlier this month for providing excellent care to patients suffering perinatal loss.
“It’s because I mentioned ‘genocide’. It’s bringing up Palestine. They were like, ‘It’s fine you mentioned your mother and your grandmother. You should’ve stopped there,’” she said. Benjamin Neel, a former cancer biologist and researcher at NYU Langone, is suing the hospital after he was fired for sharing cartoons that featured offensive caricatures of Arabs. That lawsuit revealed private emails sent by the hospital’s CEO, Robert Grossman, where he used crude terms toAmid the friction, Jabr messaged one of her coworkers after they published several pro-Israel posts on Instagram. “I said, ‘You’re a new mother yourself. This is sick.
Jabr was later told to “stop posting”, as it was a violation of NYU Langone’s social media policy and code of conduct. But she said hospital officials never said how the posts violated their policy. A spokesperson for NYU Langone declined to specify or provide copies of their policies when asked by the Guardian.
