CAIR-AZ, others join lawsuit against Phoenix Children’s Hospital for firing doctor over anti-Israel Facebook post

(Arizona Republic) The Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, along with several law firms, is representing a doctor after she was fired from Phoenix Children’s Hospital following a Facebook post condemning Israel and accusing Zionists of having a “thirst to kill our Palestinian children.”

Screenshots circulated online of Dr. Fidaa Wishah’s Monday Facebook post in which she said Palestinians would “expose the #massacre and #genocide you #zionists are proud of.”
