LAURA KOLLAB REPORTEDLY COMPARED JEWS TO ‘DOGS’ AND CLAIMED HOLOCAUST WAS 'EXAGGERATED'
A junior doctor was forced out of her job at a US hospital after she allegedly posted a series of antisemitic messages online over a number of years, including saying she would give Jews the “wrong meds”.
Cleveland Clinic, a medical centre in Ohio, said it was made aware of comments posted to social media by a former employee, identified as Laura Kollab, and that she was no longer employed there.
The 27-year-old, who worked as a supervised resident between July and September last year, had a history of posting antisemitic messages, according to local media and The Times of Israel newspaper.
In 2012, Ms Kollab allegedly tweeted she would “purposely give all the yahood the wrong meds”, using the Arabic word for Jews.
She also reportedly referred to Jews as “dogs”, said the Holocaust had been “exaggerated” and that she had a “really hard time” feeling bad about it.
In 2011, she allegedly tweeted: “I blame Israel for everything. Everything that goes wrong, I say ‘Allah will kill the Jews’.”
The messages were uncovered and first published in November by the Canary Mission, a website that publicly outs professionals it considers to be antisemitic or anti-Israel.
Ms Kollab’s Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts appear to have been since deactivated.
