Dr Alhusain Aly, a physician specializing in Internal Medicine at the Veterans Affairs Southern Nevada Healthcare System in North Las Vegas, is facing criticism and backlash for making controversial and antisemitic remarks on Facebook.
Dr Aly labelled the October 7th Hamas terror attack in Israel as “resistance” and asserted that “Zionist Israel has no future whatsoever.” These remarks, made on a public platform, have ignited outrage and raised questions about the appropriateness of such statements, particularly when coming from a healthcare professional.
The context surrounding Dr. Aly’s comments revolves around the ongoing conflict between Israel and militant groups, notably Hamas, in the Gaza Strip. The October 7th attack, orchestrated by around 1,500 Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, resulted in significant casualties and hostage situations, prompting a forceful response from Israel. The conflict has triggered widespread demonstrations and calls for a ceasefire.
