Dr. Karameh Kuemmerle, a Palestinian-American neurologist and faculty member at Harvard University, has become a leading figure in a dangerous new front of extremist activism: medical radicalization.
Rather than upholding the ethical responsibilities of her profession, Kuemmerle has used her white coat and Harvard affiliation as a cloak of credibility to spread Hamas-aligned propaganda, push false genocide accusations, and radicalize the language of public health.
As a co-founder of Doctors Against Genocide, Kuemmerle has blurred the line between humanitarianism and hate, deploying her medical authority to justify misinformation, political incitement, and antisemitic conspiracies. Her influence extends beyond the hospital ward—she is fueling a movement that weaponizes healthcare credentials to validate extremist narratives and vilify the Jewish state.
Promoting Extremist Medical Rhetoric
Dr. Kuemmerle’s role in reshaping the language of medicine into a vehicle for radical politics cannot be overstated. Through statements, op-eds, and organized campaigns, she has promoted disinformation under the guise of clinical concern—eroding public trust and co-opting her profession for ideological warfare.
- Co-founder of Doctors Against Genocide, a group that uses medical terminology to accuse Israel of “genocide” while ignoring or denying Hamas’s use of human shields, hospital tunnels, and civilian infrastructure for terror operations.
- Publicly blamed Israel for “targeting hospitals and medical personnel” without citing independent or verifiable evidence.
- Helped create a media ecosystem in which accusations of war crimes are presented as scientific fact, leveraging her M.D. credential to elevate propaganda.
- The group’s social media follows include Quds News, Noura Erakat, and other known radical figures—including Hamas-aligned influencers.
In doing so, Kuemmerle has helped give terror-aligned messaging a clinical sheen, transforming militant rhetoric into “health advocacy.”
Spreading Genocide Accusations
Dr. Kuemmerle’s accusations of genocide are not based in neutral reporting or evidence-based medicine—they are politically motivated, inflammatory, and often aligned with pro-Hamas activist groups. She has repeatedly published and signed statements that redefine warfare and self-defense as “extermination.”
- January 2024: Signed the radical Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) statement defending pro-Hamas protestors and denying the surge in campus antisemitism.
- April 12, 2025: Harvard SJP released a statement written by Kuemmerle accusing Israel of “scholasticide”—a term meant to equate academic policy with ethnic cleansing.
- Crimson Op-Ed: Attacked Harvard’s leadership for “turning its back” on what she claimed was an ongoing genocide.
- January 31, 2024: Posted inflammatory accusations that Israel had bombed the Ibn Sina Hospital as part of a “genocidal assault,” ignoring reports that IDF targeted Hamas operatives plotting imminent attacks.
These statements reveal a troubling pattern: Kuemmerle is not investigating the facts—she is prescribing ideology.
