[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”]

For a Muslim doctor — the radiologist Dr. Qassim Arkazawy, now practicing in Belgium — a nine-year-old patient’s medical problems include being “Jewish (Israeli).” More on Dr. Qassim Arkazawy’s curious inclusion of his young patient’s ethnicity as a “medical problem” can be found here: “Belgian doctor writes ‘Jewish’ on nine-year-old patient’s medical report,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, September 1, 2025:

A Belgian radiologist wrote “Jewish” under the medical issues section of a patient’s Emergency Department report. This was first revealed when a censored version of the letter circulated on social media on Sunday.

The radiologist, Dr. Qassim Arkawazy at AZ Zeno Campus Knokke-Heist hospital, filled out the report for the patient, who is nine years old and was experiencing “trauma pain in the left forearm.”

Underneath the section “current problem,” Arkawazy wrote “Pain in the left forearm, fell from the climbing structure to the ground; a man fell on top of her” and subsequently “Jewish (Israeli).”

Social media users were quick to point out that writing “Jewish (Israeli)” under medical issues is reminiscent of discriminatory practices from the 1930s in pre-Holocaust Europe, the implication being that the patient’s Jewish identity is a “problem.”

X/Twitter user SwordofSaolomon, who does open source research into antisemitic individuals, found that Arkawazy has shared myriad antisemitic and Islamist posts on Facebook. This includes an AI-generated image depicting hassidic Jews as vampires about to eat a sleeping baby, as well as a cartoon of several babies decapitated by the point of a Star of David.

In other words, Dr. Arkazawy is a deep-dyed antisemite, who filled his frequent social media posts with anti-Jewish material, including hideous images of Hasidim, their fangs dripping with the blood of Christian babies.

Dr. Arkazawy should be asked to explain why he considers being Jewish a “medical problem.” Does he think Jews are suffering from some mental condition that makes them especially dangerous to non-Jews? If being Jewish is a “medical problem,” how does he propose to deal with it? In his many social media posts, he expresses a deep hatred of all Jews, whatever their nationality. Does he think that being Jewish is a menace to non-Jews and, if so, what would he suggest be done to alleviate that threat? In Australia, two nurses who on social media made threats to Jewish patients, claiming they would kill them if the could, and one of the two boasted he had already killed Jewish patients, had their nursing licenses revoked. Will there be an investigation into the antisemitic posts on social media by Dr. Qassim Alkazawy, now that he has characterized being Jewish as a “medical problem”? And if, as seems likely, it is concluded that Dr. Alkazawy is so hostile to Jews as to constitute a potential threat to their well-being, will he be prevented from treating Jewish patients? Or might he be struck off altogether?
