What has happened to the culture among some nurses today? Is it something in the water that they drink?
In recent months, social media has featured a surprising number of nurses making extreme political statements — including threats against President Trump and accusations that Israel’s defensive war in Gaza is “genocide.”
This is especially jarring to me because I have nieces and close cousins who are nurses, and they are dedicated, selfless people who devote their lives to caring for others and make no political statements that would make their patients uncomfortable.
One example of nurses making extreme political statements and that has become increasingly troubling is Blima Marcus, a nurse living in Boro Park married to a Chassidic man, whose children have peyos. She has built a Facebook following of more than 1,700 people, many of whom are non‑Jewish and politically far‑left, including individuals who openly express hostility toward Trump.
Today she reposted a story by Tomer Persico — a story alleging that Jewish settlers murdered an Arab family. The details of this supposed incident do not appear in any credible news source, and the names listed cannot be found in any verifiable report. The story appears to be fabricated.
When I checked Google, I couldn't find the story but here is what Chat GPT wrote about it:
I looked for any credible, verifiable reporting about the killing of a family with the names you listed — Ali Khalid Sail Bnei Oda, Ottman Akel Bnei Uda, Ottman Ali Khalid Bnei Udah, Muhammad Ali Khalid Bnei Uda, and the injured children Mustafa and Khalid — but no reliable news source, human‑rights report, or public record appears to document an incident matching these details.
Yesterday, the military force killed a family that went shopping in honor of holidays The father, Ali Khalid Sail Bnei Oda (37), the mother, and until Ottman Akel Bnei Uda (35), and two sons, Ottman Ali Khalid Bnei Udah (7) and Muhammad Ali Khalid bnei Uda (5), were shot to death. Two more children in the family, Mustafa and Khalid were injured but survived.
Khalid said that the family was sitting in her car when fire opened on them. He also told that after the shooting, a soldier took him out of the car, said, "We killed dogs" and hit him. Opposedly, the soldiers say the car accelerated to call them and therefore fired shots.
This killing joins a series of killings in Judea and Samaria in the past two weeks. On Monday, two weeks ago in Kfar Krayot, south of Nakhm, settlers in uniform were killed by gunshots the brothers Fahim and Mohammed Taha Abd Al-Majid Maamar. Between Saturday and Sunday, a week ago, several dozens of Jews arrived to the area of Kfar Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah. Thair Farooq Hamail and Farah Judat Hamail were shot dead there. Yesterday the Red Crescent announced that a 28-year-old Palestinian was killed by gunfire by settlers in the village of Kosra near Shem.
Since the outbreak of the war with Iran, there has been a total escalation in acts of violence by Jews against Palestinians in the territories. From burning houses and cars, threats and physical violence, we've moved to more frequent shootings. Just shooting to death in the Palestinians. As you can see, there are several groups that engage in violence. The well-known "Hill Boys", who are joined by "Spatial Defense" soldiers (GMAR), that is, local settlers who received uniforms and weapons from the IDF. The IDF weapons are used to scare, threaten, and even shoot Palestinians. Sometimes, like yesterday, these are forces of the Supreme Court.
Blurring the difference between military and armed citizens is a clear indicator of allowing violence beyond the limits of the law. If you add to this the duplicate capital that is being passed at this time to "farm" and "young settlement", the ATVs that the government distributed to the settlers (who use them in their attacks), their success to uproot their place with violence and to expel entire communities of Palestinians, mostly in the hollow (Hagay Segal reviewed this week in his turn in the first place the expulsion of the Ras Ein El-Oja community), and the backup The continuation they receive from the government, they receive a government campaign of ethnic cleansing in Judea and Samaria, which is carried out by state terrorism (State-sponsored terrorism).
War enables atrocities. The Armenian genocide was committed by the Turks during WWI, on the assumption that the world is too busy with other things. And he really was. But we all know and remember what happened. Also the crimes that are going on in Judea and Samaria at this time are being documented, and the world knows and will know about them. What happens today in Judea and Samaria, like what happened in Gaza, will stay with us long after the war is over, and we will all pay the price. But the question is not just how these actions will be judged in the future, but what they are already doing to us now. Already now, our moral destruction is real.

This is not the first time Marcus has shared content that is strongly critical of Israel, and if the author were not Jewish, many would consider such posts openly antisemitic.
In another recent post (included below), she again presents allegations of “settler violence” as unquestioned fact. The post was written by Yair Golan, a known far-leftist anarchist and former general; much of it is demonstrably false.
He refers vaguely to a murdered Arab family but avoids providing names — likely because the story cannot be substantiated.
In another post directly below, she of course doesn't want to mention any Jewish victims so she bunches Arab casualties and the danger to Jewish people in the USA and states arrogantly:
"I won’t be commenting on the rising and urgent danger to Jewish people in America, the war with Iran, and the state sanctioned problems in the West Bank, particularly the murder of an Arab family today."
Notice that she refers to Judea and Samaria — the land with deep Jewish historical and religious significance — only by the Arab political term “West Bank.” She also speaks of “state‑sanctioned problems,” despite the fact that more than 541,000 Jews live in Judea and Samaria, not including the 340,000 Jews in East Jerusalem. Nearly one million Jews live in these areas.
If the "West Bank" as Blima calls it, was the issue, then why did Arabs go to war in 1967 when they had the "West Bank"?
Arabs don't care about the "West Bank" they want ALL of Israel including Bnei-Brak!
Then she sneaks in her comment "particularly the murder of an Arab family today" something that never happened.
How does a Chassidic woman from Boro Park publish and promote posts that portray the only Jewish state in the world — home to more than eight million Jews — in such a negative and misleading way in war time, directly fueling the vicious hate already out there? Why would a Jewish daughter post something like this knowing that non-Jews follow her, even if it were true?
The answer seems straightforward:
she is catering to her non‑Jewish audience and online following. Like Frieda Vizel, she appears eager to distance herself from Zionists in the eyes of her followers. She presents the alleged death of an Arab child as morally equivalent to the proven unprovoked murder, rape and mutilation of Jewish children, without acknowledging the fundamental difference in intent: no Jewish community wishes harm on Arab children, while Arabs openly celebrate violence against Jewish civilians. She does not tell her followers that Israeli Jews do not desire the death of Arab children. She does not tell them that many in the Arab world openly call for the death of Jewish children. Instead, she chooses to highlight fabricated stories about settlers harming Arabs in order to appear “neutral.”
She doesn't realize that when they come rounding up the Jews, her non-Jewish co-workers and followers will be the first to point her out, she refuses to acknowledge that the antisemites will not distinguish her little boy with peyos and the teenager that was dancing on Simchas Torah at Nova, they want them all dead!
Meanwhile, Jewish children are spending hours in bomb shelters, screaming and crying and being scared half to death, as ballistic missiles are launched by a regime that openly declares its intention to destroy her. Iran has no borders with Israel, but insists on murdering innocent Jews and already caused billions and billions of Shekels damage
Yet Marcus says she will “not comment” on that. Instead, she elevates an unverified debunked story about settlers to signal her obsession with "neutrality" to her audience.
PS I would like Blima Marcus to be honest with her followers and tell them the truth!
She should tell them that she and her entire family pray and yearn to return to Israel! She should tell them that every time she "benches" and says "al hamichya" she begs God to rebuild.....yes the "Sanctioned WEST BANK" and come Passover her Chassidishe Husband with his Bekeshe & Shtreimel will chant together with her children with payos....... לשנה הבאה בירושלים!
She should tell her followers and co-workers that she begs God every day for the coming of Moshiach when there will only be Jews in the State of Israel!
Let me see if she is truly honest!
