Heading: Moussa's affidavit

Text: 9 Moussa's affidavit describes similar instances of general harassment and discrimination, but no specific instances of physical mistreatment. In 1997, when three-months pregnant, she went to an obstetrician for an examination. The obstetrician, a Lebanese woman, told her that her unborn baby was dead and that we need to take it out. Mousa did not believe her and feared that she would give me a pill or an injection that would start a miscarriage. Moussa sought a second opinion and was told that her child was alive and normal; indeed, the child was born later in the United States. Moussa attributes the first obstetrician's advice to an animus against Palestinians: Lebanese always say that Palestinians have too many children. More generally, the incident reinforced Moussa's belief that Palestinians do not get careful attention from doctors like Lebanese [sic].
