A Jewish Columbia University student who hails from Israel and served as a national medic and IDF servicemember called out anti-Israel protesters whose chaos has metastasized nationally in an interview with Fox News’ Guy Benson .
The 20-year-old medical student, who is referred as “Ethan,” offered commentary on the protests and refuted the anti-Zionist sentiments and Holocaust-denying rhetoric of many of those causing mayhem on campus in an interview Wednesday on “The Guy Benson Show” on Fox News Radio.
Ethan said it had been his dream to attend Columbia, citing his family’s apparent working-class status and New York City’s renown as the hub of American medicine and expertise, saying much of what protesters claim is flawed, dangerous or untrue.
“I wanted to break limits. I wanted to go and receive the best education I could, and again, and unfortunately now it’s kind of questionable, but I started my medical career as a volunteer at Tel Aviv Medical Center in the pediatric E.R.,” Ethan told “The Guy Benson Show.”
He recounted working as a medic for Magen David Adom — “The Red Shield of David” — which is Israel’s national EMT service, and serving in the Israeli Defense Forces, telling host Guy Benson his area of service was related to that, in the form of being a medical unit commander.
Ethan said that unlike the protesters’ claims that Israel is a nefarious force, that in his role as an EMT he has treated at least one anti-Israel terrorist, and that most Israelis want to live peacefully alongside ethnic Palestinians.
