Dr. Jacob Agronin, a cardiology fellow from Philadelphia, testified before the US Committee on Education and Workforce, alleging that the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR) supports terrorism and excludes Israeli workers from employment. Agronin claimed that CIR, which represents about 37,000 physicians, has publicly endorsed figures linked to Hamas and Hezbollah, and has declared Israel guilty of apartheid and genocide as part of its official doctrine. In May 2024, CIR passed a resolution titled 'Housestaff Against Apartheid,' which endorses the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and rejects the conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism. Agronin expressed concerns that such actions threaten the integrity of medical institutions and national security, urging legislative measures to protect medical trainees from being compelled to support the union financially. He highlighted that Israeli colleagues feel targeted and fear for their employment and visa status if they dissent. Additionally, Eveline Shekhman, CEO of the American Jewish Medical Association, testified about widespread antisemitism in the medical field, citing a study indicating that 75% of Jewish medical professionals have experienced antisemitism.
