Dr. Fidaa Wishah

On June 23, 2021, Dr. Fidaa Wishah was fired from her job at Phoenix Children’s Hospital following a campaign calling for her dismissal in response to social media posts she made critical of the State of Israel and its treatment of the Palestinians. Dr. Wishah writes, “I am a Palestinian woman and I dared to speak up against Israel. Phoenix Children’s Hospital and its board terminated me because of who I am and where I come from.” Dr. Wishah has now filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and plans to bring a lawsuit against the hospital.
