Emory prof out after wishing 'glory' to Hamas 'resistance fighters'
Dr. Abeer AbouYabis no longer works at Emory University or its Winship Cancer Institute following her social media post that glorified Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
AbouYabis was among the many American college faculty members to openly express support for Hamas in the past month.
An Emory School of Medicine assistant professor who openly celebrated the largest killing of Jews since the Holocaust has left her position.
On Nov. 9, The Emory Wheel reported Dr. Abeer AbouYabis’ departure from the school. As of publication, however, it has not been determined if she resigned or has been fired.
”Dr. Abeer AbouYabis is no longer employed or practicing at Emory, including the Winship Cancer Institute,” Assistant Vice President of University Communications Laura Diamond wrote in an email to the Wheel.

AbouYabis was placed on a temporary leave by Emory on Oct. 17 after taking to Facebook to issue “Glory to all resistance fighters” and denounce “israel [sic] slaughter.” The physician also wrote, “They got walls we got gliders” — a reference to the paragliders Hamas terrorists employed to kill several hundred Israelis at a music festival on the morning of Oct. 7.

Campus Reform has long covered the rise of anti-Semitism on American college campuses, especially after Hamas’ recent massacre of Israelis.
On Nov. 1, Campus Reform reported that nearly 500 professors from Columbia University and Barnard College co-signed a letter to condemn “the spate of antisemitic incidents on campus since October 7,” including a separate letter signed by dozens of other faculty members who alleged that the terrorist organization was “exercising a right to resist violent and illegal occupation.”
Campus Reform contacted Emory University for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.
