A North Miami dentist who is also an imam at a local mosque should have his license suspended for antisemitic statements that call for violence upon Jews, according to Rep. Randy Fine.
Fine, a Brevard County Republican and the only Jewish Republican in the Legislature, wrote a letter to the Florida Board of Dentistry, asking members to suspend the license of Fadi Kablawi.
“Practicing medicine in Florida is a privilege — not a right — and as the Chairman of the House Health and Human Services Committee, I call on you to immediately suspend Dr. Kablawi’s license and commence a thorough investigation of his practice,” Fine wrote to Jose Mellado, Chair of the Board of Dentistry.
In the letter, Fine cited several instances of Kablawi making antisemitic statements in his preachings, all of which came after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, in which more than 1,400 were killed and more than 200 civilians were taken hostage.
Those comments included referring to Jews as “the brothers of apes and pigs” during an April 26 sermon.
“Oh Allah, annihilate the tyrannical Jews,” Fine quoted Kablawi as saying. In clips of the sermon circulating on social media Kablawi says the Israeli army is “worse than the Nazis,” and suggests that Jewish people are harvesting the organs of Palestinian children.
Kablawi has had at least one prior run-in with the law. In 2017, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Medicaid Fraud Unit accused him of defrauding the federal program by charging patients the full amount for some procedures while also billing Medicaid. The result of those charges is unclear.
The Board of Dentistry meets four times a year. Its next meeting is scheduled for Friday in Jacksonville, but Kablawi’s license doesn’t appear to be on the agenda.
Fine implored the Board to take action because he doesn’t believe Jewish patients would be safe in Kablawi’s practice. Indeed, Fine ended his letter by stating, “the lives of some of Florida’s Jews could hang in the balance.”

There they go again, Florida G0P refusing to let the market sort it out, same as leaving to the states. They say “leave it to the states” but then fight toof and nail trying to prevent the states from handling anything other than added restrictions of the governed. Adding restrictions and control over voters, that’s …. FINE

Let him practice in Gaza or the West Bank. If he is able bodied then hand him a weapon and go get the IDF. Another phony bad azz that jumps up and down at the bench and then when the coach looks over he sits down and hides his face.

No these are your Democrats out defacing campus buildings, taking down and burning the flag of the United States, and then raising a Palestinian flag. Raise an American flag over there and see how long your head stays attached to your body.

Agreed. Neither Hamas nor Israel is good people.
Together, however, they’ve paired up in an extremely effective partnership for exterminating regular everyday Palestinians who wanted nothing to do with it.
You say let us stay out of it, Hung Lil? You are okay with Biden withholding the largest bombs from Israel so they don’t explode Rafa a block at a time? That’s great news! IBS is always for violence. Glad to hear there’s still one conservative out there who considers all humans to be humans.

RANDY FINE IS A THUG.
This rant of his is an attempted abuse of the State’s power to license the professions. It is an excellent example why the State should get out of that business entirely.
Randy, you want to boycott this Clown, go right ahead. (I’d join you if I could, Bro). Use the power of the Free Market. Feel free to encourage others to do the same. However, do not try to use the power of the State to shut him down. Even more importantly, do not abuse your position as Chair of a powerful legislative committee to shut him down.
FYI, the platform of the Libertarian Party of Florida (Section V, paragraph 4) says: “…We call for abolishing all business and occupational licenses. The right of the people to conduct business is inherent and should not require the permission of the State …”

G0Ps are for Jewish folk same as they are for leaving abortion to the states and securing the Southern border.
IOW all talk, zero walk, bluff called on 2 out of 3 and nobody even believes their pro-Jewish-folk boasting as of late.
G0Ps are pro “second coming” and pro “rapture” but they hate Jews.

I forgot to tie in the 2nd coming and rapture, whoops.
Apparently Jesus is too weak to do his promised (threatened?) 2nd coming and/or rapture unless Jewish people live in the part of the world where the UK and USA displaced the indigenous people, Palestinians, invented the nation state of Israel in 1948, packed a bunch of German and Russian Jew bags and relocated bunches of Jewish people to Israel for the eventual purpose of Jesus’ 2nd coming and/or rapture if rapture is something different from 2nd coming which i have no idea.
I also do not know why Jewish folk have to be the ones living in Israel, but that evidently part of the lore. Perhaps Jesus is a racist and didn’t want to return to a bunch of brownish people living in trash and poops as Rhonda claims they do? Dunno. Don’t care. That’s the lore. TIA.

The seemingly bizarre claim that Israelis have been harvesting organs, probably from Palestinians, is true, although the Israelis claim that they stopped doing that a long time ago.

You can’t get organs from exploded, rotting remains buried under 9/11 amounts of rubble covering virtually all of Gaza now.

May 14, 2024 at 1:59 pm
A search for “organ harvesting in Gaza” shows that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are taking Palestinian corpses to Israel for what they claim are “DNA identification.” But witnesses and relatives report that when the bodies are returned in containers, various organs are missing. The most lucrative organs for the organ transplant market are the ones that usually have been removed. These are the liver, kidney, heart, cochleas (ear parts), and corneas (eye parts). The reports I see about this look legitimate. The corpses would somehow have to be kept refrigerated until the organs are removed and either placed in refrigeration or put on ice for preservation.

Does it explain how the IDF keeps exploded corpses buried in rubble refrigerated and keeps organs in tact for … “harvesting?”
You can do an internet search and find whatever your favorite search engine thinks will get you viewing the highest number of ad impressions from its ad network. That doesn’t mean everything, or even anything at all you read via internet search results is even one iota true.
Organs are typically harvested from the brain dead who did not suffer any catastrophic injuries. If the IDF were going around collecting Palestinian coma patients who were later found dead absent some organs, then you might have a little something something.
As is, you got nothing but a bologna and malarkey sandwich. My advice: Stop using web search engines that have ad networks that are found via search results and/or personalize your search results for you.

The Israelis have various methods of killing Palestinians. Blowing them up is just one of the ways. In many cases, they shoot Palestinians who go out looking for food and water. Burying Palestinians alive is another method. Clearly, there are plenty of Palestinian corpses with intact organs that can be harvested and cold-preserved for sale into the international market for transplantable human organs. The Israelis remove the organs without paying the families, so they’re making huge profits on the stolen organs. And, of course, the cost of a surgical transplant is massive, so doctors and hospitals are set to make big profits whenever Palestinians die.

Again, Richard D, organs are harvested from the brain dead, not from the dead dead.
The brain dead are not quite dead yet, meaning their brain no longer works but the heart is pumping, likely due to the involvement of an electronic gadget, keeping the organs viable for transplantation.
Once you’re dead dead, your organs are useless for any purpose other than making cat food or possibly in Gaza right now just plain food food.

Rick, you may have lost me. I think maybe JS was JS that organ harvesting must be a rumor spread by the left, but I’m honestly not sure.
It’s hard to follow which side anybody’s on with this war since the two warring governmental entities seem to be on the exact same side against the people getting slaughtered. And since MAGA types hate Jewish people but at the same time they love Israel due to Bible whatever, and Love for Russia comes into play because every bomb sent to Israel is a bomb that isn’t sent to Russia.
So… Yeah. I got no idea where people stand on that Israel conflict. I was just calling out bullshit which, imo, is basically all i ever do.

I do not think the state or a state-buttressed licensing agency should be able to remove someone’s license for speech. The First Amendment should prevent that. Should anyone go to this creep’s office; NO. But the State should not be able to punish people for speech. That would be more dangerous than this creep.
