UCSF Prof Suspended for Post Asking if Israeli Student ‘Participated in Genocide’
“targeting any member of our UCSF community — especially in a way that fosters hostility or discrimination — will not be tolerated”
This is insane. Some people on the left have really lost their minds over this issue.
The College Fix reports:
UCSF med professor suspended for post asking if Israeli student ‘participated in genocide’
A University of California San Francisco medical professor has been suspended for singling out a first-year Israeli student on social media, noting her students were “concerned” and wondered if he “participated in the genocide of Palestinians.”
Rupa Marya (pictured) made the post on her now-deleted X account back in mid-September; UCSF Chancellor Sam Hawgood responded on the platform by noting “targeting any member of our UCSF community — especially in a way that fosters hostility or discrimination — will not be tolerated.”
Marya since has written a long essay attributing her suspension to a “’coordinated’ campaign by powerful interests, Jewish pro-Israel donors, and a ‘repressive’ UCSF administration,” The Jewish News of Northern California reports.
“I have been a witness and support for countless faculty, staff, students and patients from marginalized backgrounds over the past 20 years at UCSF,” Marya says in the Substack essay. “Repression against us has never been as oppressive as over the past year. Instead of shifting the approach, the university continues to barrel down this path of harm.
“Many members of our community express a lack of safety in an institution that seeks to silence us, while characterizing our defense of Palestinian human rights and criticism of Israel’s violation of them, as racist, threatening, harassment and harmful.”

The “good professor” dixit:
Perhaps the “good professor” might ponder on her incessant and inaccurate use of the word “genocide.” If Israel truly wanted to commit genocide on the people of Gaza, it could have wiped Gaza off the map within a day of the October 7 attack. The roughly 20,000 civilians the IDF killed in Gaza in its killing roughly 20,000 Hamas combatants, out of a population of 2.5 million, does not come close to genocide.
Moreover, it seems a little inconsistent for the “good professor” to harp on “defense of Palestinian human rights” when the October 7 Hamas attackers violated human rights by deliberately targeting civilians and also by raping women.
Israel, in both Lebanon and in Gaza, has sent warnings to areas for civilians to get out before Israeli forces went into an area to fight Hamas or Hezbollah. Did Hamas send similar warnings to the Israeli communities it attacked on October 7? On the contrary. Hamas wanted to massacre Israeli civilians.
I get so tired of the anti-semite, leftist Hamas-supporters harping about Palestinian human rights while completely ignoring Israeli human rights.
What Hamas, Hezbollah, and their advocates want is the complete elimination of Jews and the people and state of Israel, which is the very definition of genocide.
Hamas, Hezbollah, and their sycophants are inciting and advocating for genocide which is a crime under international law, separate from genocide itself. To support Hamas and Hezbollah is to support genocide.
A nation that defends itself from genocide is not committing genocide.
I’m just going to say it
Screw you, Professor. I hear Gaza University is hiring
And let’s face it. A burkha would only help in her case.
These people are so tiresome. Typical bully reaction when you fight back and start winning.
Another prime example of academics not comprehending their place in the institution of “higher learning”. And, showing by their actions, they really don’t deserve to be in their niche in that system, cuz they really don’ t understand what “genocide” means. Best I can figure out is they flap their lips to cover their inadequacies re: whatever field they represent.
Just sayin’.
This woman is teaching future doctors. It is likely that medical “equity” takes first place in what she imparts to her students. People will die because of her beliefs. No doubt she would justify denying medical care to “Zionists” or others who refuse to support the same politics as she does.
This is an example of why people need to be very wary of doctors who have recently been graduated from major colleges of medicine. This crap is flourishing in those woke factories.
She’s been at UCSF for quite awhile, but she’s crazy enough that she may not be there until retirement.
Dr. Marya is allowed to be a pro-Palestinian partisan, but she has to keep that partisanship, like any other political ones, separate and distinct from her professional responsibilities as a UCSF medical school professor. The conduct which got her in her present difficulties there may not reflect on her clinical competence. It does, however, suggest poor judgment and lack of self-control such that it is a good bet she will transgress again before too long and wind up looking for employment elsewhere.
Would she go at a patient identifiably Jewish or Israeli? If she If she did, that would probably see her terminated.
So, what is going on at US medical schools? How is there a prof at UCSF Medical School who targets a specific student for being an Israeli male? She’s pro-Palestinian to such an extent she’s going after specific students?
