NYC Health Department’s anti-Israel working group: – Latest News
The Issue: The NYC Department of Health’s “Global Oppression and Public Health Working Group.”
I assumed the Department of Health’s mission was the health and security of New Yorkers (“Healthy dose of hate,” Feb. 5).
Since when did overseas coverage points, such because the battle in Gaza, develop into a concern?
Would or not it’s correct for the division to have a research group displaying how MAGA has elevated the health outcomes of New Yorkers? Of course not.
This is a prime instance of how woke politics have taken maintain of our bloated authorities.

The DOH’s “Global Oppression and Public Health Working Group” should relearn drugs’s prime maxim: “Do no harm,” as a result of doing hurt appears to be the group’s total objective.
This working group takes concerned workers away from their jobs, wastes taxes and diminishes public trust in a critically important municipal operate.

If DOH staffers are finding out the accusation of Israeli genocide in Gaza, they need to additionally learn background materials such because the 1988 Hamas constitution, articles 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 22 and 32.

It is only antisemitic of New York City’s Health Department to divert invaluable taxpayer assets to investigating the calumny of genocide in — as Article 80 of the UN Charter declares — the established “national home” of the Jewish people: Israel.
This is a Jew-hating diversion embraced by Mamdani that’s bleeding invaluable taxpayer assets.

The primary qualification needed to work for Mamdani’s administration is the flexibility to hate. Not simply any previous hate, however an excessive hatred for Israel and all Jews who really feel a contact of love or caring for the one Jewish nation.
We all knew this and but right here he’s, spewing hate on a regular basis.

Forget the truth that Eric Duprey was trying to flee arrest for promoting narcotics and contemplate the upcoming menace to public security he posed by recklessly working a motor scooter on the sidewalk. That alone was enough reasoning for Duran to do what he did.
He needs to be counseled for his actions, however as a substitute is going through up to fifteen years in jail.
