The bottomless malice of Muslims toward Jews was on display in Manchester, England, where a nine-year-old boy, a patient at the local children’s hospital, was mistreated by nurses wearing pro-Palestinian paraphernalia. More on this upsetting tale can be found here: “UK Jews Demand Investigation Into Alleged Maltreatment of 9-Year-Old Boy by Hospital Nurses Wearing ‘Free Palestine’ Pins,” by Ben Cohen, Algemeiner, March 22, 2024:
A prominent British children’s hospital is investigating allegations that a 9-year-old Jewish boy was maltreated and humiliated by nurses bedecked in “Free Palestine” paraphernalia.
The scandal at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital was brought to light in a LinkedIn post written by the boy’s uncle, Elliott Smus, on Thursday. Smus, a British citizen who lives in Tel Aviv, explained that his nephew suffers from a rare blood disorder and receives blood transfusions at the hospital every two months.
The post included a photo of the boy receiving his most recent treatment, sitting on a bed in the hospital wearing a Manchester United replica shirt and without a kippah or any of the other outwardly Jewish signs he normally displays.
“Today he is at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity,” Smus wrote. “As a religious Jewish family, my nephew wears his black kippah (yarmulka, religious hat, whatever you want to call it) and his tzitzit proudly. Not today.”
Smus said that the boy had been too “scared” to attend treatment wearing his kippah and his tzitzit — the fringed vest worn by observant Jewish males — because of his experience on a previous occasion.
The nurses (National Health Service employees) are all walking around wearing ‘Free Palestine’ pins and he was scared,” Smus wrote. “Beyond that, the last few times he went in he was denied correct medical care by the same couple of nurses every time. This culminated the last time he went in, when my visibly Jewish, 9-year-old nephew, with an autoimmune blood disease was kicked out of his bay, by one of the nurses who was covered in pro-Palestine badges and stickers, and due to that, had to lie on the floor with a canula in.”
This little boy was receiving an infusion (hence the canula) to treat his rare blood disorder. He ought to have been lying in bed. In fact, he had been lying down on a bed in his hospital bay when one of the pro-Palestinian nurses, aware that he was Jewish, forced him out of the bay, and made him lie on the floor, while still receiving his infusion intravenously. What a way to express her solidarity with the brave warriors of Hamas who had recently displayed their heroism on October 7, when they decapitated babies, burned children alive, tortured, mutilated, and raped girls, sliced the breasts off women, cut off the genitalia of men and gouged out the eyes of both men and women, murdered children in front of their parents and murdered parents in front of their children. Who would not be proud of such brave lads?
A second photo accompanying the post showed the boy lying on the hospital floor on the day that he attended wearing his religious garments.
Smus continued: “Now the damage is done and my proudly Jewish nephew (and his parents) is scared to not get treatment if he wears his kippa and tzitzit.” He then pointed out that “today when not visibly Jewish, he received quick care. Also worth noting, prior to the conflict he received excellent care.”…
According to his uncle, Mr. Smus, who spoke to him by phone from Tel Aviv, the boy had been treated well before October 7, when the war in Gaza began. No doubt the IDF’s campaign to wipe out Hamas that began on that day, and has continued ever since, kindled a rage in the pro-Palestinian nurses (the article does not say whether the nurses were Muslims, as I strongly suspect), that has led them to take out their anger on their helpless little Jewish patient, whom they could humiliate and mistreat as they wished. What better way to take out your anger against the IDF for hunting down Hamas murderers in Gaza than to make a nine-year-old boy in Manchester lie on the floor — how hygienic could that have been? — to receive his infusion.
The case has now been taken up by the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester (JRC), which filed a complaint with the hospital.
It noted the allegation that the boy “who is a religious Jew and clearly visible as such, was maltreated by several nurses who were wearing ‘Free Palestine’ badges in the outpatients department of Ward 84. Part of this maltreatment includes a failure to administer proper treatment and being removed from his cubicle and having to sit [sic] on the floor.”
The boy reported he did not “sit,” but lay on the floor. In either case, being forced out of his cubicle and made to sit or lie on the floor is humiliating, obviously unhygienic, and certainly would upset a nine-year-old. It’s wanton cruelty, inflicted by these groupies for Palestine.
The letter emphasized that “the child now feels terrified to return to hospital unless he hides his Jewish identity.”
The JRC urged the hospital authorities to investigate the allegations “as a matter of extreme urgency.”
“This could have catastrophic repercussions for the Jewish community if they were to feel they are not safe attending your hospital,” the JRC said.
The Jewish Representative Council makes a good point. Have other Jewish patient been similarly mistreated at the hospital by those same nurses, or others? If this case is not resolved satisfactorily — which ought to include firing any nurses involved in the mistreatment of this boy — then Jews in Greater Manchester are likely to avoid using the hospital. Is that what those running the hospital want?
The complaint also demanded clarification on the hospital’s policy regarding staff wearing political statements on their work clothing. A spokesperson for the hospital told the Manchester Evening News that “no staff groups are permitted to wear any offensive or political statement badges whilst on duty,” and “the wearing of T-shirts or garments with political statements is not allowed, symbols and badges are not permitted, unless they are in recognition of an approved [Health Service] Trust campaign, a recognized professional body, or Trust ID badges.”…
The right hospital policies were in place. No members of the hospital staff were allowed to wear any “offensive or political statement badges” while on duty. The nurses in question quite clearly did violate that policy. But their much graver offense was the way they humiliated and mistreated their nine-year-old patient, forcing him out of his bay and making him take his treatment while sitting or lying on the floor, in conditions that were far from ideal. The only question that remains is what punishment should be meted out to these nurses, not just for wearing pro-Palestinian badges while on duty, but for mistreating a nine-year-old Jewish boy who is now too terrified to return to the hospital for his next treatment. First, discharge those nurses from the hospital. And make sure that no other hospital in the U.K. will hire them. Yes, that seems about right. They can always find employment in Saudi Arabia, or the U.A.E, or Qatar.

These “nurses”….violating their oath….should be charged with assault, child neglect, and whatever other crimes which can be lodged against them.
Here is the oath/pledge taken by nurses in the U.S.
“The Nightingale Pledge is a statement of the ethics and principles of the nursing profession in the United States1. It was named after Florence Nightingale, who is considered the founder of modern nursing2. The pledge includes a vow to “abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous” and to “zealously seek to nurse those who are ill wherever they may be and whenever they are in need”1. Nurses also promise to uphold the Hippocratic oath, do no harm, practice discretion and be dedicated to their work as a nurse”
They should lose their licenses and be sent to live behind bars. Any medical treatment they ever require should be denied. What goes around comes around….and they denied this boy his dignity and fair treatment. This is religious persecution.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, this is sick. Their actions merit serious consequences.
maria says
That so called nurse should be immediately suspended and life sentence without parole
Tanya Notkoff says
If only! When I was refused medical care by my PCP, who wouldn’t even enter the exam room, all because I had had the audacity to include my Jewish ethnicity (relevant to my healthcare and health issues)–I had to be taken to the ER to get my medication refill (I was in the middle of a treatment, during a medical crisis)–she treated me like a leper! Eventually, I learned that she’s Muslim…I had no idea when I switched to this doctor–she was recommended! Do you think anyone cared that she violated her oath? Not only did the NOT care, I ultimately contacted the press, and you can listen for yourself: https://soundcloud.com/user-514155433/032219-call-to-aurora-sentinel-dave-perry?si=e54c34d7e8cf4f238596dec376055501&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

At the same period of the Ramadan last year i was treated in a manner inconsistent by a Muslim dr. here in the great city of Toronto and I posted my misery on the local web site. It is worse now, what do you expect these people who are led by the evil prophet Mohammed and by the evil book Quran of the devil Allah. They must follow it to get the virgins in heaven, though I am not aware if the ladies can get the same.
Kaputnik says
What happened? Don’t be afraid to post the details. This is important information that people should know.
Gloria Shamsi says
I think they really get a 72 year old virgin, and it’s a guy. What woman wants to be a waitress/whore for eternity?
tim gallagher says
Surely totally unethical to politicise the treatment of a patient. These scum are definitely in the wrong type profession and should be ousted from any type of health care. And the child they abused should receive compensation for such terrible treatment from these pro-Palestinians shitheads
John Smith says
Agreed Tim, to take their evil anger out on a child like this is just deplorable. A major independent enquiry should be set up to investigate this. There are many questions to be answered here. Did the management allow these nurses to ware pro- Palestinian paraphernalia, if so then they should also be sacked.
tim gallagher says
It is appalling behaviour, John, and they need to be weeded out of the jobs they are. They are meant to care for people. Definitely they are in the wrong type of work.
AlbertTatlock says
@tim,
The actions of these nurses were not only unethical, they were unlawful. The law in the UK states very clearly that one cannot treat someone in this way because of their race. The Equality Act 2010 is the relevant piece of legislation here. (Race is a “protected characteristic” under the law.)

tim gallagher says
Thanks for the information, Albert. i do hope that these people do face some legal repercussions for their behaviour. Probably won’t happen though due to slackness.

There is no appropriate compensation.

Qatar sounds about right, although I suspect that the other 2 countries are by now far more professional about how they’d treat patients. Including Jewish patients
Britain is fast becoming a country where my probability of visiting is higher than a Qatar or Pakistan or “Palestine” but lower than an Oman or Emirates or even Saudi Arabia
AlfredTatlock says
The actions of these nurses were unlawful. The Equality Act 2010 states that
“A person (A) discriminates against another (B) if, because of a protected characteristic, A treats B less favourably than A treats or would treat others..”
Race is listed in the Equality Act 2010 as a “protected characteristic.”
It follows that the actions of these EMPLOYEES were unlawful and I can only hope that the family of the patient find themselves a real shark of a lawyer, and go ahead and sue the living daylights out of the EMPLOYER, who is vicariously liable for the actions of their employees.

Muslims mistreat the Jews everywhere including those who have nothing to do with the Maas-Israel conflict. On the opposite site, Israel hospital treated the sister of Ismael Haniyeh and other Palestinians.
Any body with some conscience will recognize which one is the evil people, however, most people have lost their conscience.

Why is the management of the hospital allowing nurses to wear pins free Palestine?
maria says
Every hospital should be checked and if there are some muslims they must go.
And even those who support muslims must be deported immediately
Kaputnik says
Dr. Nidal Hasan was a Muslim psychiatrist in the American military who opened fire on American soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas. There are Muslim doctors in the U.S. who have come out in support of terrorism. For example Dana Diab, a New York city emergency room doctor posted online that she applauded the Hamas’ massacre at a music festival in southern Israel, saying the attacks gave Israelis “a taste of their own medicine.” I wonder if Dr. Diab has been giving Jewish people she treated a “taste of their own medicine”. Dr. Zaki Masoud , another New York doctor, called the October 7, massacre of Israelis by Hamas ‘liberation. Resistance. Revolution’..

She got her azz fired for that.

PURE ANTI SEMITISM.
AM ISRAEL CHAI !!!!!
Derrick Bishop says
The family ought to complain to the professional association to which the nurses belong. Their association would hopefully investigate the allegations and promptly revoke the license to practice nursing. As a retired nurse who served on my professional association, we would not grant a license to practice, nursing in my province to a nurse who was not in good standing with a nursing association elsewhere.
OLD GUY says
Just goes to show how inhumanian Muslims/islamic followers are. And yet our Government leaders accept islamic money and ignore the problems. Funny how that works.

Why did journalist Fitzgerald not publish the names of the nurses?
dumbledoresarmy says
Fitzgerald is analysing a news story, not writing it. He cannot know the names of the nurses if the various news reports of this event have not provided those names.The child’s family might know the names of the nurses responsible.. but then again they might not, if the nurses acted at a time when the child’s parents were not present. The child himself might not know their names. The hospital would know for certain, because they would know who was ‘on shift’ at that particular time and ward; but presumably they’re not telling…yet…
dumbledoresarmy says
What is abundantly plain is that both Muslim and non-Muslim Jew-haters simply hate Jews qua Jews and delight in attacking them.. and whether the Jews are in Israel or anywhere else is immaterial to the haters. Jews are told they are NOT ALLOWED to live in Israel.. their ancestral traditional homeland… but they are ALSO attacked when they are NOT living in Israel.
When Jews lived in Europe and in Russia they were seen as enemy aliens and periodically attacked, driven from country to country; then when a whole lot of Jews said, okay, we’ll go back where we came from, and went to their ancestral homeland and reinhabited it and reconstituted a sovereign nation… thus DE-colonising and reclaiming territory that had been colonised both by the British and before that, the Muslims (who had comprehensively laid it waste) and before that, the Romans and their Byzantine inheritors… lo and behold they are condemned for being ‘alien European invaders and occupiers’ in the “Muslim” (sic: but how Islamised… by violent Muslim imperialism and viciously-cruel and oppressive Muslim imperial occupation!!) middle east!
I find the current explosion in Jew-hatred simply revolting. It’s a pathological condition.. and it’s flagrantly on display not only amongst the jihadis but also, alas, amongst waaaaay too many non-Muslim westerners.
It’s awful.
Troybeam says
Here’s a suggestion, fire all Muslim staff. That means you could hire actual nurses that give a damn to take care of PT’s especially children.
Also, where was the lead medical person on staff? Hospital admin on staff. Poorly run health care.
Tanya Notkoff says
I literally panic, every time I have to go to a doctor, especially because rural America is jam–packed with Drs. named “Khan” and “Mohammed”–it was bad enough in Saudi Aurora, CO, where my assigned doctor (who turned out to be Muslim) refused to even enter the room with a woman who included her Jewish ethnicity on her medical form! Talk about an oath violation, and the harm she did me–without continuing treatment, I could have died, so I had to get a simple refill from the ER! I don’t think all Muslims naturally hate Jews, but to be a party to Islam is to support the Jew-hate that is inherent in their invented ideology!
