(Jewish Group) Cleveland Doctor Who Threatened to Give 'Wrong Meds' to Jews Loses Her Medical Traini
Cleveland Doctor Who Threatened to Give ‘Wrong Meds’ to Jews Loses Her Medical Training CertificateA Cleveland, Ohio doctor who posted antisemitic statements online has been stripped of her medical training certificate.
Local news website Cleveland.com reported Sunday that Lara Kollab agreed to give up her certificate before it was to be permanently revoked by the State Medical Board of Ohio. As a result, she will be unable to practice medicine or surgery in Ohio, and cannot participate in another medical training program.

Kollab made the antisemitic comments on social media between 2011 and 2017, including a threat to “purposely give all the yahood the wrong meds.”
“Yahood” is the Arabic word for Jews, and is often employed in a derogatory fashion.
Other posts said the Holocaust was “exaggerated,” alleged that “zionists are the spawn of hitler,” and expressed support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
