In March 2020, @TheLancet published a letter alerting the medical community to the dangers of a #COVID19 outbreak in the #Gaza Strip. The authors warned that the pandemic had “the potential to devastate one of the world’s most vulnerable populations.”

And since our @sciam article was removed within 10 days of publication, an act yet to be explained by @sciam, there are now attempts to censure us, the authors, for speaking up against #HumanRightsViolations and attacks on HCWs & hospitals, violations of international law
Scientific American ran a piece by several healthcare workers about why Palestinian liberation is an urgent health issue, only to retract it with little explanation days later. The piece was right, and @sciam owes readers an explanation of this cowardly and indefensible decision

Utterly disgraceful #StopCensoringPalestine
I cannot in good faith fight for justice here in the USA and watch human rights atrocities take place overseas. Nor should our media/journals partake in the coverup.
Be better @sciam
Important thread on censoring a powerful letter written by a group of healthcare workers in solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸
Do better @sciam#StopCensoringPalestine

#Gaza continues to be attacked nightly despite a “ceasefire.”
The healthcare infrastructure, already on the brink of disaster, is decimated. Yet, the world remains silent.
Remember our article on HCW in Solidarity with #Palestine in @sciam on June 2nd?
#StopCensoringPalestine
The hardest thing to stomach is that we told the TRUTH, & we called for others to see that truth. Every sentence was true. But the truth, when it comes to 🇵🇸, is not enough.
Despite it all, we were never told the truth about why @sciam removed our piece.
