I just read about you in Chris Hedges' piece "The Silence of the Damned" and want to tell you I'm inspired by your courage to speak up. Knowing about you makes me feel a little less scared to take a stand on Israel's genocide. Thank you.
I’m so sorry these institutions haven’t been protecting you while you stand up for what’s right. What a disturbingly corrupt country we live in, where someone like Alan Dershowitz can silence one of the only ethical healthcare workers in the Bay Area! Ghouls like the UCSF leadership & Nancy Pelosi are showing just how racist they’ve always been, and they’re putting every one of their nonwhite neighbors at risk of white supremacist violence. Please let us know how we can help protect and support you, especially financially if you need to take time off work to feel safe. The public needs to help fund alternatives to these racist institutions like our schools.
Thank you for this writing and your courage. It is really stark the contrast in how ucsf has approached you and how they have approached racism against Palestinians by faculty. I haven’t seen this level of censorship in academic institutions.
It is inspiring to see your resolve and bravery. It is rare amongst the largely spineless community of scientists, doctors, engineers in today's times, be it in India, U.S. or Israel.
You misunderstand Dear Rupa Marya. On Oct 7, 2023 your precious Pals Arabs attacked innocent Israelis Jews and nonJews; burning people alive, cuttingboff breasts of women and playing volley ball with body parts.
Your Precious pals were offerred a flourishing community on August 5, 2005 and they themselves destroyed the majority of the farmland and crops given to them by Israelis, who left Gaza to fulfill the dream of Pals. You are making a mistake; what is happening in not apartheid, what is happening is needed. We Jews have been instructed by G-d the Creator to destroy all the people who want us dead.
Though not a person of color, I now always seek a non-Jewish medical professional for surguries and other care. I research my own health, look up risks of medicines prescribed and and have thrown most away. It's hard to get a licensed doctor. Always sent to a PA. The few times I have gone to see doctors at Community Health, my complaints, even backed up by research I presented to the (male)doctors, like the effects of EMF on health and the environment were dismissed. I was arguing that I am EMF sensitive. Here's one article on the subject:
You maligned an entire group of people, and, yes, there are consequences for doing so.
Sure, some Zionists believe and do terrible things. And some do so in the name in the name of Zionism. Where I come from, we call that "being an evil a**hole." Kind of like, say, Americans who see it as their patriotic duty to take away the water left in the desert left for migrants trying to cross the border. Zionism simply means the right of Jews to self-determination. And, no, we are not "European colonialists"; my ancestors were never Poles. They were in fact killed by the Poles and the Nazis. My people are indigenous to this land we are all fighting over.
But we are not the ONLY indigenous people, and the only way forward is the path of empathy, compassion, and the willingness to hear one another's narrative. Anger and hatred--on any side--will only bring us to hell. Let me repeat that: anger and hatred will not work. It got us to where we are today. It brought us to a reality where babies are kidnapped and women are raped and hundreds of thousands of people are being starved; it just perpetuates the cycle of violence. We will only know a just and enduring peace when we have the courage to do it differently. When we have the courage to be better than our own anger. If you want to make a difference, then work for peace. There are many groups that are bravely doing this work. I suggest you join them.
Dear Dr.Rupa Marya, this is just one of the countless tragedies that israel has inflicted on the Palestinians, and that you are so bravely speaking out against:
Palestinian mother tries to dig open her son’s grave to see him, 5 Feb 2024
“I want to see my son. He left and I didn’t say goodbye.”
A Palestinian mother tried to dig open her son’s grave to see him one last time after he was killed by Israeli air strikes and buried in al-Nasr hospital. She said he is the third of her children to be killed by Israel. His sister died a month before him.
But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: but thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.

Thank you, Dr Marya. While fascism grows when good people remain silent and thus complicit, your voice heartens and inspires me.
Thank you Dr. Rupa for your bravery and moral leadership.

Dear Dr.Rupa Marya, I salute you for speaking out against the savage genocide of Palestinians. You are truly a hero!

Unfortunately much of the injustice is still happening in Africa. Highly recommend the documentary in the following article.

Thank you for normalizing public displays of antisemitism so that we exercise freedom of speech to express hate
Thank you Dr. Marya for saying what everyone is afraid to say ever since hitler became taboo.
A really great post!

You, ras, are the racist genocidal bigot. Everybody in the Third World sees clearly that it is israel that is the colonial-settler terrorist state.
