StandWithUs sent a letter on Thursday to the New York State Department of Health Office of Professional Medical Conduct, calling for it to investigate a pediatric resident who, according to legal filings, posted anti-Semitic and homophobic tweets.
According to JNS, the pro-Israel group called for the New York medical board to "immediately conduct a full investigation of Dr. Walid Khass and to take any other available steps necessary to ensure that he is prevented from any contact in which he could harm patients in New York through the practice of medicine."

WU stated that while it commended New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital for removing Khass from its residency program, it was "dismayed" by the decision being reversed by the New York Supreme Court. The hospital has appealed the court's decision; a hearing on the matter is scheduled for later this month.
