Who is Mohammed Moiz Qureshi? Texas ER Physician refer to Jewish people and nation as Nazis

Texas ER Doctor Faces Allegations of Antisemitism, While Israel Expands Operations in Gaza Amid UN Call for Truce.

Who is Dr. Mohammed Moiz Qureshi?

Dr. Mohammed Moiz Qureshi, an emergency room physician in Frisco, Texas, has come under fire for allegedly making anti-Semitic statements. The claims come from comments in which Dr. Qureshi allegedly referred to Jewish people and the nation as Nazis, an expression that the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) deems antisemitic.

Dr. Qureshi has held roles at several local hospitals, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Centennial. He earned his medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2017 and specializes in both emergency medicine and internal medicine. He is also associated with the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of Jewish patients under his care as a result of the claims. On October 27, 2023, reviews on his WebMD profile described him as antisemitic and expressed skepticism about his capacity to provide balanced and compassionate medical treatment. The comments prompted concerns about the influence of personal convictions on patient care.

Investigations into the allegations are expected, and further developments will shed light on the outcome of this case.

Israeli forces have grown their operations in the Gaza Strip as of October 27, 2023, clashing with Hamas militants. The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution, which was widely supported, calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. The fighting has hampered telephone services, making emergency response difficult.

Israel’s tactics have sparked fears of a ground invasion of Gaza. While Israel promises to destroy Hamas’ military capabilities, there are rising concerns about an escalating humanitarian crisis. The scenario has increased international tensions and raised concerns about global crude oil supplies.

Efforts to reach a peaceful resolution continue, but the situation remains fluid, with international actors closely monitoring developments.
