2. There is no "ongoing genocide."

Israel is continuing to wage war against Hamas and thier supporters, and just as I figured, looking up this woman I found she is a vicious anti-Israel activist.

Marya was suspended by UCSF from her roles after she made a post described by the university as "targeting" students on social media.[14] Marya tweeted that medical students at USCF were concerned about the presence of a first-year Israeli medical student on campus on the basis that they may have been a member of the IDF and therefore could be involved in Israeli war crimes.[15][16][17] Due to conscription in Israel, every Israeli citizen over the age of 18 who is Jewish, Druze or Circassian must serve in the Israel Defense Forces, with some exceptions.[12]

Senator Scott Wiener and UCSF publicly labeled these posts as antisemitic, and UCSF suspended Marya due to "the targeting of students on social media based on their national origin".[14] Marya said her suspension because of her "support for the liberation of Palestinians who are suffering genocide", and maintained she was the victim of a targeted harassment campaign by pro-Israel groups.[18] Marya has previously faced backlash for criticizing the impact of Zionism on health care, having described it as an "impediment to health equity" and a "supremacist, racist ideology".[11][10]

The university later reinstated her clinical care responsibilities while maintaining her ban from campus and the hospital.[19]
