From "Who Is Feras Hamdan? Doctor Who Allegedly Drove Congressman Off Road" (Newsweek).
Issa Elkhatib, Hamdan's attorney, in a statement on Facebook: 'The allegations against my client, Dr. Feras Hamdan, are not only baseless and outrageous, but they also amount to defamatory attacks on his character and reputation. Dr. Hamdan is a respected physician, a devoted husband, a loving father, and an upstanding member of his community. He has no prior criminal history and has dedicated his life to serving others with integrity and compassion. It is reprehensible that Congressman Max Miller would exploit Dr. Hamdan's good name as a political pawn to score political points and fabricate a narrative of false victimhood.'"

I read yesterday that every time the horn is sounded in a Tesla, the onboard recording system is activated - - which will probably become evidence in any criminal case.
Hamdan's attorney doth protest too much.
Can your Tesla testify against you? And if you delete your Tesla’s recordings is that an obstruction crime?
Grok says that the "honk and record" feature is optional and must be turned on in the computer options - - it doesn't appear to be a factory preset.

A black hole or whore h/t NAACP? A noose-sance, perhaps. A semitiphobic inspiration. A "burden" h/t Obama, clearly.
Smear the doc's "good name" for political points? When you've pretty much got nothing for your client's defense, smear the opponent.
Prominent Democrats condemned the attack. There’s a first.

So every time the horn is sounded in a Tesla, a lawyer earns his retainer fee.
Islam always self identifies as a victim. Terrorize a Jew, get caught, "Why are you persecuting me? He made me do it! He's a JEW! I'm the real victim here!"
Hate and crime is a double-edged scalpel.
Too bad there are witnesses. I hope the Tesla recorded it.
Bottom line: Import the Turd-World and you import all their grievances, hatreds, rivalries, prejudices, awful habits, and customs, like FGM, cock/dogfighting, child marriage, paedophilia, and such. Deport Dr. RageHead to Gaza and Mr. Miller back to Israel. Rinse and repeat times 50 million.
"Grok says that the "honk and record" feature is optional and must be turned on in the computer options...."
The people who turn it on believe in their own righteousness. They'll be gathering evidence against the people who intrude on them.
That sounds like something Hamdan would do. If the allegations are true, then he deludedly imagined Miller occupying space on the road that rightfully belong to him, even as he would think that the Palestinians have a right to the land that Israel occupies.
Why do we think of the Minnesota killings as isolated acts by a deranged man while this Arab doctor's behavior is part of a campaign of political and racial terrorism?
It certainly seems like leftist and Islamist groups are attempting to sway political reality via violent means. But is it true?
Did Feras try to roll the odometer back to cover up the incident?

"Dr. Hamdan is a respected physician, a devoted husband, a loving father, and an upstanding member of his community. He has no prior criminal history and has dedicated his life to serving others with integrity and compassion." This may well be true. But doesn't mean he didn't do the actions he is accused of.
Most of the same could have been said of the now infamous Mr. Vance Boelter, amiright?

"he would think that the Palestinians have a right to the land that Israel occupies."
One of my favorite facts: Land cannot be owned ... it can only be defended.
From the highway to the shoulder with Hamasidol inspiration.
The HAMASS doctor was only doing what comes natural to his ilk: cutting things off.
Zionists feel they have the right to make up shit and claim (1) strangers automatically know they're Jewish and (2) shouted insane deadly anti-Jewish threats for no reason. Of course, the congressman has all this on recorded audio, correct? LOL.
"You're a dirty Jew" = Totally Fake.
It'll come out this is just a stupid road rage incident. And all the anti-Jewish rhetoric was never said, and just made up the congressman. But I hope the Doctor is better at medicine then at driving.
You would think that a doctor would have more self-discipline.
DeepStateReformer wins the thread.

If you don't have a car with built-in security cameras, get a front-rear dash cam. That's what we have, and South Central PA's Interstate 81 is an interesting place to drive. We don't have any political announcements on our van, but if the crazies start targeting people without the appropriate virtue signals, we're ready.

Deport Mr. Miller back to Israel? What the fuck is the matter with you? Your solution is to get rid of all Jews. Congressman Miller is an American who happens to be Jewish. Expelling Jews has been down many times in past with such wonderful results. Of course you are not an antisemite. Some of your best friends are Jewish.
“Deport Dr. RageHead to Gaza and Mr. Miller back to Israel. Rinse and repeat times 50 million.”
Mr. Miller was born in the US. It seems his parents were born in the US as well.
So you want to deport victims of crimes?
Wash your brain out with soap. Rinse and repeat.

Hey! You and Dave Begley should get together and do a screenplay for a 21st Century version of It's A Wonderful Life
“Zionists feel they have the right to make up shit.”
Please inform me of made up shit when it comes to Jews being attacked in the US. Don’t give me any Palestinian/Israeli claims. Here in the US what attacks against Jews have been made up shit.
Who the fuck is putting things in italics again. Use fucking quotation marks.

If the Congressman is lying than he should probably have not picked a Tesla to lie about since everyone knows about their ability to record.

Oops but it wasn't me
"Dr. Hamdan is a respected physician, a devoted husband, a loving father, and an upstanding member of his community."
Dr. Mengele is a respected physician, a devoted husband, a loving father, and an upstanding member of his community.
Much depends on the Volksgemeinschaft.
Automatically assumed physician with a job equals respected? I think a parsing of respected is warranted…
OFF!
The Doctor's lawyer said it didn't happen. That should be enough for everyone.
Don’t deport Congressman Miller. Deport the doctor.

Possibly one of the most understated understatements I've ever seen. And I-83 is even more interesting. It's where I found out PA State Police don't come to an accident unless there are injuries or the cars can't be moved off the road... After waiting 40 minutes and calling 911 again. The car that rear ended mine had MD plates, mine were NY. We both expected the police to show up to take down information once 911 was called.
I do need to set up a recording system in my cars in case of another accident- or like this- incident. Video systems are currently very inexpensive, and one question I have is- with all the other things mandated on new vehicles- where's the mandate for 360° video coverage with recording and playback on all new cars? And most especially- ALL police and other official vehicles?
Police detection, "Well, Chief, the perp displayed a Palestinian flag, and threatened, 'I'm going to cut your throat and your daughter's,' before adding, 'You're a dirty Jew.'...'"
Police chief, "We can probably rule out Islam as a factor. What else ya got?"
I had a work associate, engineer, very talented and intelligent, from Lebanon. As soon as Israel is mentioned….ooh boy, the venom spewed, agitation and hatred was off the scale. I would be very concerned if she actually was faced with an Israeli.
Being a ‘nice family man’ means nothing.
I dunno. In my lifetime I've seen us go from open season on Jews to complete assimilation and acceptance, back to open season on Jews. Talk about the rinse and repeat cycle. In fact, my dad told me this would happen when I was a teenager and I knew everything there was to know. Of course I thought he was nuts. Heh. That stuck with me throughout my life. I guess the old man knew a thing or two as well.
Not moaning about it. Just being very alert when I'm out and about. Based on what I've seen going on in Europe, I should probably start carrying here. Might as well be ready.
Anyway- good to see a few of you got your parents teachings- handed down from generation to generation. Doesn't seem like anyone has learned much.
How would Hamdan know that Miller was Jewish? Would he really keep a Palestinian flag in his car? I'm not saying Miller is lying, but there may be things left out of his story.
Could Miller really hear those two sentences clearly? Was Hamdan following Miller from a meet and greet or was he threatening a random motorist? Was Hamdan reacting to a bumper sticker on Miller's car? And why Miller's car, when surely other cars on the road had similar stickers?

From my own experience with road rage, it comes from feeling small in the world and taking that feeling of humiliation and insignificance out on other drivers on the road.
A 36-year-old Ohio doctor chose to get engaged in unhealthy emotional regulation strategies. Take a pause. Try yo be civilized.
Hmm. 6-lane interstate, 3 on each side, speed limit: 60 mph. Hard to understand how one could hear anything, car-to-car, or why one might be driving with their windows down, on the interstate. Maybe his wife recorded it with her phone. But right now, too many holes in the story, and the usual raging epidemic of reporter incuriosity. Buncha pencil lickers.
A buddy of mine with a Tesla used to have the horn make farting sounds. I think it is one of Elon's jokes.
Maybe if this guy just made fart noises at the people who displease him, this whole thing could have blown over.
Does anyone believe the lawyer?
Eva Marie! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?!
Why the fuck would I do that? My mother’s dead.
I’m trying to imagine the scenario where the congressman acted consistent with what the lawyer claims. Selecting some random driver on the interstate to make a false accusation- how does he pick? Wouldn’t it create a more credible scenario with a random pedestrian or some media doosh hanging around the capitol
Someone is making up facts. Either Miller, believed that the Tesla driving Hamdan would be a soft touch for a hoax narrative of antisemitism, or Hamdan is a pro Hamas antisemite with a penchant for over the top road rage. Since the political advantage to Miller is so slight, I think it much more likely that Miller is the truth teller.
From the median to the shoulder... um...
What rhymes with shoulder?
I 81 in PA in used by truckers and they often have a habit of switching into the left lane when a car is already there. Happened to me twice . Thankfully we braked and pulled into the shoulder to avoid the accident. It would be nice if 81 was three lanes so truckers can switch lanes without interfering with faster traffic.
“ Does anyone believe the lawyer?”
Nope.
Activists often wear their ideological bent on their bumper.
A fish story or a whale of a tale? The pregnant pause has a dramatic effect.
I mean, when the Democrats create a hoax they invent a…bulletproof scenario. That’s the tell that it’s a hoax…
'I'm going to cut your throat and your daughter's,' before adding, 'You're a dirty Jew.'..."
Have the authorities figured out the motive, yet?
Read the article. Something about this story doesn't entirely add up. Do I think antisemitism is rearing its ugly head again? Absolutely. Do I think even some physicians who harbor such attitudes? Yes. Okay sure you can know your representative is Jewish but how do you know *this* car on a busy interstate is being driven by him? And he just happens to have a flag and you can hear him shouting insults???
The strongest evidence in support of the story is that Hamdan turned himself in. Why?

One of my local congressional representatives had a very distinctive license plate that identified him as such. I saw him several times. Perhaps Representative Miller had one.
“Why the fuck would I do that? My mother’s dead.”
Of shame or shock, I’d wager.
Goddamit!
"Miller called police on his way to work and read the license plate of the alleged perpetrator. At one point, he held out his phone for the 911 dispatcher to hear the honking and yelling, though the sounds were largely unintelligible. His call was transferred to a different police department based on the location of the incident. "
He called 911 while the incident was unfolding, but the police couldn't respond in real time to intervene. However the accused has been arrested and is awaiting a hearing, so I guess there must be evidence involved aside from simple accusations and a 911 call. I guess they'll be comparing cell phone pings and Tesla data to see if they're contemporaneous.
Sad to say I've lost track of the reports of medical professionals who have Palestinian backgrounds posting vicious and threatening posts about Jews and how they are going to harm them, if they get the chance.
Dr. Lara Kollab – Cleveland Clinic (Ohio, 2018)
Dr. Kollab, a first‑year resident, was dismissed after it was revealed that she had tweeted anti‑Semitic messages—such as calling Jews “dogs,” denying aspects of the Holocaust, and promising to give Jewish patients “the wrong meds.”
She was ultimately barred from practicing medicine in Ohio. (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lara-kollab-cleveland-clinic-doctor-fired-after-saying-she-would-give-jews-the-wrong-meds/?utm_source=chatgpt.com )
Dr. Lila Abassi – Mount Sinai (New York, 2025)
Assistant Professor Lila Abassi was terminated by Mount Sinai Hospital after publicizing pro‑Hamas, anti‑Israel commentary, celebrating terror groups, and expressing distrust toward the IDF. Officials said her expressed opinions compromised Jewish patients’ confidence in unbiased care
theaustralian.com.au
Nurse Camesha Hart – Portland, OR
Reportedly employed at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital, Hart posted on Instagram calling Israeli advocates “vermin” and explicitly stating she would refuse to treat them
jns.org . She was subsequently fired.
Free‑Palestine Button Incidents – NHS (UK)
At London hospitals like Whipps Cross, staff wearing “Free Palestine” badges or keffiyehs reportedly intimidated Jewish patients. One complaint alleged nurses refused to continue dialysis unless a Jewish patient deleted his photo of their attire.
And: "Jew-hatred spreading in health care since Oct. 7, medical professionals say"
“People were worried that if they came forward and complained about their care that the staff members would damage their embryos,” a doctor said at a Capitol Hill briefing.
A psychologist at another highly-ranked medical school described how antisemitism is now being encouraged in patient treatment in some corners of the mental health specialties in the form of “decolonizing therapy” and “liberation psychology.”
“The idea is that when a patient walks into the room, you see them in a binary: oppressor or oppressed,” the psychologist said. “Once they’re categorized in that binary, it would guide the work that you do with that patient.”
“Jews, who are considered oppressors, would be seen as a problem in society. Zionism is viewed as a mental illness,” the psychologist said. “As a therapist, it would be a responsibility of someone who’s practicing a decolonizing therapy framework to have them reject that ideology in order to heal. It’s a complete inversion of the way therapy should work.” (https://www.jns.org/jew-hatred-spreading-in-healthcare-since-oct-7-medical-professionals-say/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
Anecdotally: a Jewish friend in the hospital for cancer surgery had a Pro-Palestinian technician who deliberately inflicted pain when taking blood work.
The idea that some doctor in a road rage incident would make the hand gesture of cutting someone's throat and harass a known Jewish politician is not that hard to believe.
Or watch this astonishing video of unbelievable hatred by medical "professionals" declaring they had murdered Israeli patients: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/APiPoPaUZlw
Dude, this is an article in Newsweek. I wouldn't put them in the "cheerleading for Israel" camp.
Dude, the Congressmen said it. Newsweek just reported what he said. I didn't say a Goddamn thing about "newsweek". Dumbest interpetation ever.
Good derail though!
