Anti-Israel Leader: Taunting NYC Child Cancer Patients Justified Because Hospital Received Donation From “Zionist”
Nerdeen Kiswani: “Our medical institutions are not innocent bystanders.”
The disgusting anti-Israel protest at the Sloan Kettering Cancer Hospital in New York City this week was led by an activist named Nerdeen Kiswani. Despite the fact that children were in the building and had to witness this venomous hatred, Kiswani justified the protest by claiming that the hospital has accepted money from a pro-Israel donor.
Sloan Kettering accepted a *400 million dollar donation* from billionaire Zionist Ken Griffin, the largest in their history. This was *after* he threatened pro-Palestine student activists at Harvard with revoked job offers. Our medical institutions are not innocent bystanders. https://t.co/9aXXeEULkr

The late Mathilde Krim, a medical researcher at MSK was an ardent Zionist who smuggled weapons/explosives to Zionist militias who slaughtered & ethnically cleansed Palestinians. She was close friends with LBJ and personally helped drive US support for the 1967 Naksa.

A cancer hospital — CANCER HOSPITAL — accepted a large donation from someone you don't like, so you and your friends taunt the CHILD CANCER PATIENTS watching from the windows? You are the sick one, truly depraved. https://t.co/gcD24lOJb0

Kiswani is well known.
The Jewish Press reports:
Vicious Antisemite Nerdeen Kiswani Leads ‘Shame’ March on Sloan Kettering
Antisemitic activist Nerdeen Kiswani on Monday led a march on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that stopped, among other locations, in front of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, to holler at the frightened patients in the window, “Shame,” for the institution’s complicity in the “genocide in Gaza.” I kid you not. As the NY Post reported, she yelled at her angry mob of thousands of pro-Hamas protesters, “Make sure they hear you, they’re in the window.”
The march took place on Dr. Martin Luther King Day, and was titled, “Flood Manhattan for Gaza MLK Day march for healthcare.” The “flood” part was a reference to Hamas’s October 7, 2023 “Operation Al Aqsa Flood,” which resulted in the decapitation and burning of Jewish babies, raping and murder of Jewish women, and the bestial murder of 1,200 innocents, as well as the kidnapping of more than 300.
The mob shouted: “MSK shame on you, you support genocide, too.”
Kiswani’s herd also mobbed a Starbucks and a McDonald’s for making “meals for genocide.”
Here at Legal Insurrection, we covered a 2018 protest at Grand Central Station where people called for Intifada. Guess who was there.
Kiswani can be seen at the 1:18 mark:
Kiswani denies that any rapes occurred on October 7th.
The Forward reports:
Pro-Palestinian protester falsely claims no proof of Hamas rape on Oct. 7
Pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated outside the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on the Upper East Side during a rally on Monday, accusing the hospital of abetting genocide.
The protest was led by Nerdeen Kiswani, who can be seen on video falsely claiming that there is no evidence that Hamas committed sexual atrocities during its Oct. 7 attacks in Israel. She said reports of rape and extreme sexual violence by Hamas militants were “tropes” used by “colonial feminists” to “justify” Israel’s invasion and bombing of Gaza, which she described as an “ongoing genocide.” Kiswani said there “hasn’t actually been proof ” of the sexual assaults, “just more lies,” while, she claimed, “there are actually Palestinian women, men and children who have been sexually assaulted and abused by the Israeli occupation forces for decades.”
Watch below:
NYC: Anti-Israel activist Nerdeen Kiswani claimed it’s a racist trope talk about the r*apes Hamas did on October 7 because “there hasn’t actually been proof!” She adds only Palestinians have experienced widespread s*xual attacks and “there is no record, no history of this ever… pic.twitter.com/AySvDgRPVq

If these were Republicans doing something similar we would be reading the article “_________ arrested for harassment, and attempting to prevent access to medical care”.
American conservatives don’t have a good track record of disruptive publicity stunt tactics. As you observe, that is the Progressive’s lane and woe unto those who stray into it. J6 being the most recent example.
No, we gotta man the factories, drive the trucks, run the farms, keep the oil pumped, the lights on and the hungry fed. Enforcement via two-tiered justice (cough cough) system. Do a thousand billionth of the Summer of Love and you’re toast
I wouldn’t even grant that any/most of the J6 violence was actually perpetrated by true conservatives. Conservatives, unlike the protesters on the Left, abide by laws, and the various demonstrations and events that they have conducted over the years have involved a respect for the law and law enforcement, and efforts to leave the venues in good order.
I review several blogs daily including this one and Powerline. Yesterday Powerline had an article where a news site called Blaze showed newly available Capital security video released by the new Speaker which claims an FBI agent lied in key testimony against the Oath Keepers.
The issue was an incident where the Oath Keepers claimed they helped protect a lone officer. The FBI agent claims to have witnessed the event and said that the Oath Keepers did not help protect the officer.
The video appears to show that the FBI agent was in another building when the incident in question happened and did not arrive on site till the Oath Keepers were leaving the Capital. I am sure that defense attorneys and others are checking the time stamps to verify that the video was not altered.
If correct it undercuts the lengthy sentences handed out to the 4 protesters (up to 18 yeas). They claimed they were defending a Capital police officer and the video appears to show that as they form a line between the officer and other protestors facing away from the officer. The officer himself is shown waving a rifle and acting erratically making numerous violent threats against the protestors and in his first interview with the FBI largely backed up the Oath Keepers story.
The Capitol Police and the FBI are expected to lie to achieve the goals of the Left. There will be no relief to those falsely convicted, nor punishment for those who lied. I hope to be proved wrong, but history does not indicate so.

Conservatives don’t have the inclination, and most not the time, to engage in street protests. The left is ridden with emotionally and intellectually stunted pubescents. Our “press” seems completely disinterested in finding out who is funding these parasites.
It takes a special type of cruel individual to disturb those innocents among us the are critically ill. Same type of individual that can kill 1400 people in cold blood and rape and torture women. Nothing will make these monsters a part of our civilization and they should be irradiated like vermin.
To be fair – Palestinians probably think all Hospitals are actually secret military installations.
True
True I forgot about influences
Well, you can’t do this at abortion abattoirs, but if you support international terrorist butchers, rapists and hostage takers, that’s OK.
Quoting some famous guy, “There you go again.”
“Anti-Israel Leader: Taunting NYC Child Cancer Patients Justified Because Hospital Received Donation From “Zionist””
In this article and his piece on the same subject yesterday, LaChance contends that the entire reason for the protest was to taunt children at a hospital. He supports this by pointing to a single photo showing a child (and a few adults) at one window.
Some commenters on the forum have condemned the activist group for the entirety of their actions — and that’s fine.
What’s not fine is using leftist “journalisming” techniques to slant the story. News stories should be straight reporting; opinion pieces and commentary should be labelled as such.
Well, that’s what I was taught in J-school, anyway. But that was “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.”
This is an anti-Semitic group protesting a hospital for accepting Jewish money. I am sorry but I have no room for nuance towards them. If they don’t want to be known as the people harassing cancer patients they should avoid protesting a cancer hospital for accepting Jewish money.
I think the lesson they’re teaching is that Jews should donate cash for the IDF to buy weapons.
Is a blog considered news media? I see this website as an news analysis forum with a clearly stated nuance towards conservatism. I expect a certain slant when I come here. I shouldn’t expect it from ABC, NBC, et al. Completely different.
Agreed. Straight news should be unbiased that’s the ideal and was mostly adhered to in the not so distant past. Most of us can see the difference in the transition from straight reporting to advocacy by legacy media in our own lifetimes.
Today when we seek out information sources we more/less know what slant the particular organization has. This is especially so for non legacy sources of information.
I would prefer honest journalists who admit their biases, not ones who pose as unbiased and slant their coverage.
rebelgirl: many consider a blogsite such as LI to be “alternative media” — a place to find news stories that are written without the editorial slant of liberalism/leftism determining how that outlet reports events. Analysis with a nuance towards conservatism (an excellent description, thank you) is why I seek out such sources due to the pervasive bias infecting the former legacy media (as you point out, “ABC, NBC, et al” which used to uphold the standards of straight news and strict separation from analysis and opinion).
If I want to read an extremely-biased, opinionated, and purposely slanted account, I’d be frequenting sites such as Media Matters, Daily Beast, HuffPo or Mother Jones.
Perhaps it’s my own personal bias, but I hold Legal Insurrection to a higher standard — regardless if it’s a news story, opinion column or analysis.
(TBF, LI states in its “About” section that the opinions expressed by the writers are not those of the site, etc.)
Bragging about “J-school” and quoting sci-fi films isn’t the win you think it is.
“It ain’t braggin’ if’n it’s true.” I’m simply stating that journalism was taught quite a bit differently when I earned my degree, and I’m both saddened and angered how the profession has been bastardized by the adoption of “advocacy journalism” in recent decades. The American public has not been well-served lately by the Fourth Estate, which is refusing to uphold its responsibility to report on events so that the citizenry can educate themselves and participate in fair and efficient self-governance.
You didn’t find the Star Wars quote a humorous way to poke fun at myself for being an old codger? Then get off my lawn, you whippersnapper. You probably didn’t laugh at that one — or maybe understand it, either.
I was in junior high when the first Star Wars film came out in 77, and I’ve watched Gran Torino many times over the years. We’re probably around the same age. My point is that most people I know dislike journalists even more than they do politicians. Touting your journalistic qualifications is probably a bad way to make a point.
I’m older — I was halfway through college in ’77.
I’m well aware of the scorn heaped upon the journalism profession lately. I’m one of the heapers; that was the gist of my post. My favorite professor was Frank Kearns — I’ll keep it short and ask that you search his bio. He was heaping scorn way back in the late ’70s about the state of broadcast journalism. I’m a dying dinosaur who was taught by a long-dead dinosaur; I have to keep reminding myself that was “long ago, far away” (h/t Harry Nilsson, “Remember”) and times have changed. I don’t have to like it, but I have to admit it.
What slant are you talking about? They were there to protest at a hospital known for treating children with cancer; they were seen yelling at people in windows, and some of those were children; and she was seen encouraging her band of thugs to make sure that the people in the windows heard them–some of which were children.
At this point “journalists” have lost the argument about taking the high road, since they slant their reporting every day–try sorting out opinion from fact in most of mainstream media reports–and “journalists” should remove the log from their eye before they start criticizing others for slanting anything.
“What slant are you talking about?’
Already explained in my post of 9:19am.
here for the ratio…if I kill someone due to their race/religion/etc you are stating since I only did it once its acceptable.
foolish.
What on God’s green erf are you even talking about? It has nothing — not a thing — to do with what I posted.
Dmacleo, I understand alien to be saying that if you kill someone it would be wrong to call you a serial killer, and that if you fire a gun in a direction where there are several adults standing and also one child, it would be wrong to write a headline “Dmacleo Shoots At Children”.
I follow the reasoning, but I object to the connotations of the examples used.
Killing someone, or shooting at people, is in no way comparable to peaceably assembling, marching, and protesting, despite what one may think of the protest.
It is a common rhetorical device to demonstrate a principle by applying it to an extreme example, so that the point being made is shown clearly, and it is not lost in the nuances of a more realistic example. This also tests the principle; if it doesn’t apply in an extreme example then there must be something wrong with it even in more realistic examples.
This is why discussions of principles of government often use the Third Reich or the USSR as examples; people test principles by seeing whether they would apply there, and if not then an explanation is required for why not.
For a recent well-known example, take the time Trump wanted to demonstrate his supporters’ loyalty, so he said that even if he were stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody he would not lose any voters. Now that was an obvious exaggeration, but it made his point very clearly.
Now I may have misunderstood the point you were making; but I think I understood it correctly, and dmacleo did not. He used an extreme example to test your point, so I attempted to correctly state your point in terms of his example.
What is not fine is pushing propaganda. That gets a lot of downvotes.
Then the mainstream media are certainly garnering more than their share of downvotes.
I don’t often reply to comments and I’ll be as brief as I can.
If you come to Legal Insurrection and read something I have written, my opinion will be in it. I am not a reporter reporting the news. I am telling you about something that’s happening and commenting on it. My opinion is in everything I write here.
I did not go to journalism school and I’m not a journalist nor have I ever claimed to be one. I’m commenting on news and events and have always been up front about that.
In this specific case, I find what these protesters did reprehensible and inexcusable. You have feigned outrage, claiming there was only one child in the window. You really believe only one child in the hospital saw or heard this? What if one of the kids was was your child who was suffering from cancer? Would it matter then? Do you also want to debate the number of children who were killed on October 7th?
Finally, if you don’t like my work, feel free to read other blogs. There are plenty of them. Again, I don’t normally comment so consider this my last word on the subject.
Thank you to all regular Legal Insurrection readers, you’re the best.
Mr. LaChance:
“I don’t often reply to comments and I’ll be as brief as I can.”
Kudos for resonding. I enjoy blogs with comment sections, but it’s hard for me to condense analysis of complex issues to a one- or two-sentence post.
“…I am telling you about something that’s happening and commenting on it. My opinion is in everything I write here.”
Fair enough. What I take issue with, is your mischaracterization of an event to promote your opinion. As a column writer, you have a greater responsibility to either be more accurate in your portrayal, or more clear that you are promoting an opinionated viewpoint rather than analyzing a news event. (These are my opinions which may or may not align with the blog managers.)
“…In this specific case, I find what these protesters did reprehensible and inexcusable.”
You’ve made that point abundantly clear.
“You have feigned outrage, claiming there was only one child in the window.”
Please — less drama and more honesty. “Feigned outrage?” No. I took you to task for purposely mischaracterizing the event to promote your outrage. The photo accompanying the NY Post article that was linked yesterday clearly showed one child (has it been verified that the child is a cancer patient at that hospital?) in one window. [That photo, which may have been a still pulled from one of the video clips, is not on their site as of this morning.] You portray the protest organizers as planning and conducting the entire protest solely to jeer at sick children in a cancer ward.
“You really believe only one child in the hospital saw or heard this?”
I cannot say if one child — or a hundred children, whether they were patients or visitors — saw the event. I cannot say that anyone inside the hospital behind double-glazed windows could even hear the chants — or if everyone could. Here’s the rub — unless you were there, neither can you. But you did use your huge assumption as the basis for your articles.
“What if one of the kids was was your child who was suffering from cancer? Would it matter then?”
I have no children. If I were a child’s trusted adult, I’d take this a valuable “teachable moment” to explain, in age-appropriate terms that he could understand, about people and feelings and hatred and evil and tolerance and freedom. I wouldn’t cover his eyes and ears, pull him away from the window, and coddle him in a closet. From my limited experience, I feel it’s likely that those children dealing with life-altering diseases shrug off outside disturbances or negative occurrences much better than you or I would. The parents on the forum are better suited to answer that question than I am.
“Do you also want to debate the number of children who were killed on October 7th?”
A little help here, please — is that a non sequitur, an appeal to emotion, or an ad hominem?
“Finally, if you don’t like my work, feel free to read other blogs. There are plenty of them.”
Indeed there are, and I do. But I’ll continue to comment here on LI until and unless management requests me to cease. And I may even comment on another of your articles.
“Again, I don’t normally comment so consider this my last word on the subject.”
That’s regrettable — one can usually learn more from a discussion than a lecture. IMO some of the best blog comment sections are those where the writers participate in the forums. (I know that Fuzzy Slippers isn’t afraid to get down in the mud and wrestle with us!)
“Thank you to all regular Legal Insurrection readers, you’re the best.”
As a regular reader, I say, “You’re welcome.”
No author here is “afraid” to “get down in the mud and wrestle” with you guys. But it’s a fruitless exercise that even I rarely engage in anymore. Mike is great, but he’s a busy guy, so just stop.
Message received. I will stop.
“I’ll continue to comment here on LI until and unless management requests me to cease.”
bye felicia – glad that LI kicked you out
Get a grip! Since when is the comment section of a blog like Legal Insurrection not reader opinion? As for the articles, if you want faux-neutrality you’d best look at left media web sites (leftist but pretending to be unbiased) instead of landing here (admittedly conservative). Maybe you principal problem is the J-school you mentioned. Good writers just write. They don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on J-school indoctrination.
But slanted news and yellow journalism is all people are used to nowadays.
And who knows? Maybe there were some Jewish cancer children there.
Nah, then it would be worse, and they would be protesting the poor kid’s home.
Guaranteed she would be first in line at that hospital if she had a loved little one with cancer.
Sure wish municipalities would go back to enforcing peaceable assembly via requiring parade permits.
Hey America! How’s all that DEI working out for you?
It’s DIE, thank you.
This bullshit doesn’t happen in my little corner of the country. The citizens here would not allow it.
One of the perks of living in a conservative small town in deep red territory.
Not sure I’d agree
The Muslim Conquest extends East Asia ,Central Asia ,North Africa ,Central Africa ,Europe , and I’m guessing that all this conquesting probly did not happen by accident
Me too!! Except I am in an island of sanity in a deep blue state. My small town is quite prepared to defend itself against the leftist insanity infecting the rest of the state!
Just like that song….
Israel is known for its medical treatment of Arab Muslims.
Instead of being grateful for their care, the Muslims continue to hate all Jews.
When members of the saudi royal family need hospital treatment, they don’t trust their own local doctors. They fly by private plane to Cleveland Clinic, and reserve entire top floor of hotel for “privacy”. Curious if they ever used jewish-american doctor? They would have to keep that info on the down low.
Yasser Arafat was born in Jerusalem only because his mother didn’t want to give birth at the hospital in Alexandria, where his parents lived. She wanted to give birth at a hospital with Jewish doctors, where she could be more confident of their expertise. So she and her husband took the train to Jerusalem and booked into a hotel until she and the baby were able to travel, whereupon they took the train back to Alexandria. Had his mother trusted the local doctors he’d have been born in Egypt.
There is no sharing a country with these people. They are a disease that will stop at nothing short of our destruction.
It’s clobbering time. No quarter, beat the tar out of these a-holes.
What would Aunt Petunia say? 😉
Benioff and zuckerberg are major donors to children’s hospitals in SF. They are no longer allowed to donate to children’s hospital on other side of world from gaza because why?
Zionism is a laudable and morally upright conceit; that point needs to be made, repeatedly and vociferously. Jews have every right to live in the modern revival of their ancient homeland; certainly they have as much if not more of a right than Arab Muslim, so-called “Palestinians” who are descendants of Muslim invaders from Arabia, especially given that Jews were living in the middle east for millennia before the founding of the supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent, hate-filled and pathology-laden ideology of “Submission.”
The vile and hypocritical Dhimmi-crats claim to be big supporters of “indigenous people,” except where the indigenous people happen to be Jews.
Muslims obtain the “Right” to Israel by conquest.
Israel won its war for Independence and has obtain title of its land by conquest.
Look how often Europe’s boarders were changed by conquest.
Was that a pun? “Borders” vs. Muslim invading “boarders?” Makes sense either way.
Rapes of Palestinians? By other Palestinians, sure.
A few years ago a whackademic published a paper claiming the IDF was “racist” for not raping Palestinians. Apparently that means they think they’re subhuman.
It would not be smart to improve homicidal Pales average intelligence or leave one’s offspring in their care. I was always careful about birth control long before it was easy to be hung for paternity.
An Israeli whackademic, who are the worst kind.
U.S. Academics; “hold my beer.”
These Arabs should fight back by donating more than $400 million to the hospital.
Palestinians have received similar contributions via being treated in Israeli hospitals.
Is there any reason that Pales should not be denied benefit of all Jew’s discoveries and inventions? That would be a really rude awakening, followed by short lives.
In a world of ironic justice, Sloane Kettering would store missiles in the basement and fire them at these protestors…
Look up PVC cannons, they are a hobbyist thing, They mostly make a loud bang, though they could be used for more than that. I bet that just the bang would scatter low life.
… and permanently damage the hearing of protestors, bystanders, police … break windows, set off security alarms, terrify small pets and children …
Why would police need to use such a weapon against protestors who legally assemble and express their grievances under the First Amendment? Because you disagree with their viewpoint? Sounds kind of fascist to me.
Firstly, you are taking his example too literally. Secondly, have you ever seen how they treat abortion clinic protesters?
And note that the authorities ignore protesters that are illegally demonstrating in front of SCOTUS homes??
I admit to not being unbiased in this. When I married my first wife, she had a 1 1/2 year old son. I thought long and hard about letting him call me daddy, and decided that he was in fact my son. He was born with a congenital liver defect that in those days was a death sentence. He lived until he was 11. During that time, the Biliary Atresia Foundation and Colorado General Hospital took care of him and we did not have to pay a cent. I am extremely grateful for such charities.
Now, the Islamics involved with this demonstration, and like demonstrations, consider being Jewish, or being someone who associates in any way with Jews to remove them from human status to justify any hostile action against them regardless of the law and Constitution,
Can’t stop them from believing that. However, it strikes me that Jews, and a whole lot of people who are not Jewish, would have the same justification to feel and act the same way towards people who are Islamic. Short form, it is a societal declaration of war without limits. As the Social Contract shreds, they might not like the outcomes.

__________________________________________________________
of course it does–so typical of you–whether agree with the “palestinians” viewpoint is irrelevant–is their methods that border on / exceed the line of “intimidation / harassment– and of children, no less–not surprising as their own children are raised to accept death via suicide vest as a holy act of martyrdom
these are children, mostly facing severe illness / death and because of their circumstance should be treated with deference / kindness / empathy–to hector / frighten them via chants / megaphones / verbal threats is unthinkable to reasonable human beings–beyond the pale viz a viz ” civil disobedience ”
you state you’re an “old codger” but i wonder–you’ve obviously not much personal experience with violent death (if any, other than perhaps as an observer)
when ” people ” are allowed to exceed their lawful rights of protest, things can escalate in the blink of an eye and turn violent in a breath–and people die
we are not in gaza–this is and will (god willing) remain the united states
“when ” people ” are allowed to exceed their lawful rights of protest …”
Is this what happened here? What lawful right was exceeded?
The rest of your post doesn’t deserve a response.
Well, they were blocking traffic, and I doubt they had a permit for it. If they’d stayed on the sidewalk then I would probably agree with you.
Typical DEM behavior 2024
sadly, these zealots are merely vessels where a human being should be.
Rabid plague-carrying rats are more respectable than “Palestinians” and their vile supporters.
