Lara Kollab stated she would give Jews the “wrong meds” and that supporters of Israel should have their “immune cells killed.” She has called for violence against Jews, spread anti-Semitism, trivialized the Holocaust, defended the terror organization Hamas and expressed support for terrorists on Twitter.

The State Medical Board of Ohio has issued a citation to Dr. Lara Kollab that it intends to impose disciplinary action on her – ranging from limiting her license to permanent suspension as well as the potential for fines. (Cleveland Jewish News)

People lose their jobs, their good names, their livelihood over perceived, nonexistent insult to protected classes but this very real danger to people might still practice medicine. This is madness. It’s criminal.

DR. LARA KOLLAB REQUESTS HEARING BEFORE STATE MEDICAL BOARD OF OHIO ON ANTI-SEMITIC TWEETS

By Jane Kaufman, Cleveland Jewish News, August 23, 2019:

KOLLAB IS FACING POTENTIAL DISCIPLINE BEFORE THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD OF OHIO FOLLOWING A JUNE 19 INVESTIGATORY DEPOSITION IN WHICH SHE ADMITTED TO HAVING AUTHORED A SERIES OF ANTI-SEMITIC TWEETS BEGINNING IN 2011 AND ENDING IN 2013.

The tweets were revealed by Canary Mission, which tracks and publicizes anti-Semitic rhetoric on social media.

“This is a very unfortunate set of circumstances,” said Columbus lawyer James M. McGovern, who confirmed his firm is representing Kollab. “And the doctor is doing everything she can to make things right for the people that she has upset or harmed through her comments.”

McGovern, whose firm Graff & McGovern specializes in representing licensees in front of licensure boards, said he could not specify what actions Kollab is taking.

“Those I can’t discuss with you, but I can assure you that there are steps being taken,” he told the Cleveland Jewish News on Aug. 22.

Tessie Pollock, director of communication for the State Medical Board of Ohio, said Kollab’s request for hearing was filed Aug. 7 by McGovern.

On July 10, Dr. Kim Rothermel, secretary of the medical board, sent a certified letter to Kollab’s home in Westlake and to both McGovern and Cleveland lawyer Ziad Tayeh.

The four-page letter detailed several of Kollab’s tweets.

“On or about October 7, 2013, your initial application fee was submitted to Touro Osteopathic Medical School (Touro), which you described in your February 2019 sworn statement as ‘a school deeply rooted in Jewish tradition.’” Rothermel’s letter stated. “At your June 2019 deposition, you admitted that after being accepted Touro, you deleted the anti-Semitic tweets from your Twitter feed. You also acknowledged that if Touro had known of your anti-Semitic tweets they probably would not have admitted you as an osteopathic medical student.”

The letter states that Kollab told Kerns Medical Center in Bakersfield, Calif., she left her Cleveland Clinic residency because of a death in the family.

“You did not disclose that, in fact, you had resigned in lieu of termination due to your discriminatory social media posting,” Rothermel wrote. “On or about December 27, 2018, you sent the following reply message to @canarymission and @WeAreTouro in which you falsely claimed that Canary Mission used a fake account in an effort to frame you. When questioned about this message at our June 2019 deposition, you admitted that the content of your December 27, 2018 message was false and that you knew it was false at the time you authored and posted/tweeted the message. …”

“Although you asserted at your June 2019 deposition that you now feel ashamed of your discriminatory comments, when asked if your tweets reflect good moral character, you admitted they do not.”

Rothermel’s letter outlined possible disciplinary action the medical board might take, which could take the form of limiting, revoking, permanently revoking, suspending, refusing to grant or register or renew or reinstate her “training license/certificate to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery, or to reprimand you or place you on probation…”

The intrepid Canary Mission broke the initial story: of Dr. Kollab’s monstrous hatred:

Lara Kollab stated she would give Jews the “wrong meds” and that supporters of Israel should have their “immune cells killed.” She has called for violence against Jews, spread anti-Semitism, trivializedthe Holocaust, defended the terror organization Hamas and expressed support for terrorists on Twitter.

She has also compared Israel to Nazi Germany, spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and hatredof Israel, and accused Israel of exploiting the Holocaust.

In December 2018, Kollab’s LinkedIn said she graduated from the Touro College Of Osteopathic Medicine (Touro) with a D.O. in 2018. She received a bachelor’s degree from John Carroll University (JCU) in 2013.

In December 2018, vitals.com listed Kollab as a Medical Resident at The Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio. The address listed for Kollab indicated that she worked at the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus.

In a January 2, 2019 statement, the Cleveland Clinic said they had fired Kollab in September 2018, “after the clinic was made aware of her social media posts.”

Kollab’s LinkedIn also said that she was a Biology tutor “to high school and college kids in her hometown” since 2013, a Mentor to “1st, 2nd, and 3rd year medical students” since 2015, and a “Big Sister” at Big Brothers Big Sisters of America since 2016.

On October 8, 2017, Kollab said on Facebook she was working at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago as part of her fourth year of medical school.

Kollab is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and a supporter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). Kollab is also affiliated with the anti-Israel organization Al Awdaand with its co-founder, Abbas Hamideh.

Kollab is connected to other social media users, whose feeds are replete with anti-Jewish posts. These connections are detailed at the bottom of this profile.

In March 2018, Kollab used the alias “Elle Kay” on social media, but went by “Lara Kollab” in December 2018.

Kollab’s tweet featured a handwritten note that read: “People who support Israel should have their immune cells killed so they can see how it feels to not be able to defend yourself from foreign invaders.”

DEFENDING HAMAS

On July 21, 2014, Kollab tweeted: “Realize that Hamas was created in response to decades of brutal oppression with stated goal of ending that oppression.”

On July 25, 2014, after another Twitter user challenged Kollab’s claim and noted that Hamas’s charter“says their goal is to destroy Israel and all Jews,” Kollab replied: “@OphirEis Actually, stop exploiting the Holocaust to justify killing babies. Hamas says nothing about all Jews. It’s about injustice.”

On July 28, 2014, Kollab tweeted: “It shouldn’t even be big news that Hamas’ leader said that. Hamas exists bc of occupation. Hamas NEVER mentioned ‘all Jews worldwide’”

Articles 22 and 32 of the Hamas charter attacked Judaism and Zionism on a global basis.

Article 28 claims: “Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people. ‘May the cowards never sleep.’”

On January 14, 2013, Kollab tweeted: “@kmoran98 Palestinians are Semetic so we can’t be anti-Semitic. And Hamas doesn’t hate Jews, Hamas wants to liberate their people.”

EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR TERRORISTS

On December 5, 2013, Kollab tweeted twice in praise of terrorist Ghassan Kanafani.

Kanafani was a leading member and spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) during the terrorist organization’s early years.

Kanafani announced the PFLP’s responsibility for the Lod Airport Massacre of May 1972 and was linked to the airport attackers. The attack killed 26 people and wounded 80 others.

On March 8, 2013, Kollab tweeted: “My parents met during a political protest which my mom was heading. Palestinian women are even part of the armed resistance.”

On February 14, 2013, Kollab tweeted: “University students in Nablus in solidarity with Palestinian hunger strikers. #SamerIssawi.” The tweet featured a photo of a crowd surrounding a giant Palestinian flag.

Samer Issawi is a member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) who received a 26 year prison sentence in 2002. During the second intifada, Issawi manufactured and distributed pipe bombs and, in several incidents, fired indiscriminately on Israeli civilian vehicles.

On January 26, 2013, Kollab tweeted: “#Free Samer.” The tweet featured a quote by Samer Issawi.

On January 22, 2013, Kollab tweeted: “Jihad Al-Obeidi’s first bite of knafa Nabulsiyeh after being in occupation prison for 25 years. :’)”

The tweet featured a photo of Jihad Al-Obeidi eating Knafa. Obeidi was charged in 1988 for affiliation with the PFLP and accused of trying to kill Israeli soldiers.

On June 3, 2012, Kollab tweeted: “the fact that an Israeli soldier once told me that nablus is a ‘terrorist factory’ makes me so proud :’)”

Khader Adnan is a senior member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist organization. A 2007 YouTube video showed Adnan praising and encouraging suicide bombings: “Who among you will carry the next explosive belt? Who among you will fire the next bullets? Who among you will have his body parts blown all over?”

COMPARING ISRAEL TO NAZI GERMANY

On October 20, 2013, Kollab tweeted: “Tell me what makes Israel’s ‘we must remain a Jewish state’ obsession any less disturbing than Hitler’s obsession with a pure white nation.”

On May 9, 2013, Kollab tweeted one day earlier: “Adidas, Puma, and Hugo Boss were founded by Nazis. They made cool stuff so they couldn’t possibly be evil. #IfTheWorldFollowedZionistLogic.”

The next day, she tweeted: “I just googled it. Zionists say you can’t boycott them bc they invent things.. so did lots of evil ppl. Idiots.”

On December 12, 2012, Kollab tweeted: “If Nazi Germany and Apartheid South Africa had a baby, they would name it israel #PalestineAlwaysUnderAttack.”

On December 4, 2011, Kollab tweeted: “@ezeejaay @dotfuz shows how much you know.the first zionazi settlement was established in 1878.. WAY before the holocaust. educate yourself.”

On the same day, Kollab tweeted: “@Jewish_Hijabi so no, Palestinians will not try to expel all Jews. we have no problem with Jews, just murderous zionazis.”

On October 29, 2011, Kollab tweeted: “@viva_Israel @yelkhoudary typical nazi mentality. zionists are the spawn of hitler.”

On October 7, 2011, Kollab tweeted: “the US spent 1.4 trillion dollars on WW2 to defeat Hitler’s Nazi regime and has probably spent more funding Israel’s Nazi regime.”

On July 17, 2011, Kollab tweeted: “@Jew4palestine of course, holocaust was horrible. But it doesn’t give Israel excuse to do the same to #Palestinians.”

On July 6, 2011, Kollab tweeted: “there should one huge Arab. we would destroy the terrorist nazi state of #israel if we were truly unitebed.”

On March 18, 2015, Kollab tweeted: “It’s amazing to me how absent the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians pre-1948 (what started it all) is from the ‘dialogue’ about the conflict.”

On June 24, 2014, Kollab tweeted a photo of Israeli soldiers grieving at the funeral of Yonatan Hadassi on July 20, 2006. Hadassi was killed the previous day in a battle with Hezbollah militants on the Lebanon border.

AL AWDA ACTIVISM

On November 21, 2012, Kollab tweeted a photo from an Al-Awda protest in Cleveland against Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense (OPD) against Hamas and wrote: “Our protest for #Gaza today in Cleveland.”

On November 20, 2012, Kollab tweeted: “Protest tomorrow in Cleveland at Public Square, 4 pm in solidarity with #Gaza ! Be there or be square [ie. complicit to israeli war crimes].”

OPD was launched to stop Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza on Israeli civilians. From November 14 to November 21, 2012, Palestinian terrorist groups fired more than 1,506 rockets at Israel. The majority of those rockets struck Israel, damaging homes, schools and other civilian areas.

Human Rights Watch noted: “Palestinian armed groups made clear in their statements that harming civilians was their aim.”

Al Awda co-founder, Abbas Hamideh, led chants at the rally screaming [00:00:23]: “When people are occupied, resistance is justified” [00:01:39] and [00:03:36] “Israel is a terrorist state!” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Hamideh has confirmed this chant is a call to eliminate Israel.

ANTI-JEWISH SOCIAL MEDIA CONNECTIONS

Kollab interacts with other Twitter users whose feeds are also replete with anti-Jewish hatred. Below are some representative connections and examples of social media posts evidencing their anti-Semitism:

Kollab has interacted on Twitter with anti-Semite and Holocaust denier Moe Hamdan.

On October 11, 2012, when Kollab tweeted: “If I have to write a paper about the holocaust, I’m going to bring palestine into it and my professor better like it,” Hamdan responded: “@ellekay_ make sure you mention the fact that ‘The Holocaust’ never happened.”

Kollab has interacted with Amal Ali who has called for an intifada and defended Hamas.

On November 14, 2012, Ali tweeted: “There better be a third #Intifada coming out of the ashes of this disgusting invasion of #Gaza. If not, I’ll go start it myself. #Palestine.”

Kollab has interacted with Mohammed Adil Kaouadji, who has spread anti-Semitism on Twitter.On June 10, 2015, Kaouadji tweeted: “Reddit is owned by Advance Publications which is essentially owned by a Jewish family. Spewing propaganda and harassing Muslims is a motto.”

Kollab has interacted for years on Twitter with Al Awda co-founder Abbas Hamideh, known for spreading anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel, denying Jewish history and supporting terrorism.

On October 10, 2016, Hamideh tweeted: “@ikhras you’re anti Semitic according to non Semitic shlomos from Poland 😝.”

Hamideh was responding to another tweet praising a Palestinian terrorist for killing two and injuring six in a shooting at a Jerusalem light rail train station.

BDS

The BDS movement was founded in 2005 by Omar Barghouti and asserts that it “works to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.”

BDS initiatives include compelling institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, academic boycotts, anti-Israel rallies and protests.

The movement’s most notable achievement has been the infiltration of university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, backed by university anti-Israel affiliates, student governments have brought to vote on some form of boycott of — or divestment from — Israel and Israeli-affiliated entities. These resolutions, although non-binding, have been passed by student governments on numerous North American campuses.

BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents on campus. In 2013, when the student government of the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) debated a BDS resolution, reports emerged of violent threats and the spitting on a student wearing a Star of David necklace. As a result, the student government chose to vote via a “secret ballot” in order to ensure its members’ safety.
