Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.
📣We have launched a new platform, supervised by Dr. @GhassanAbuSitt1, documenting the targeting and destruction of the health sector in Gaza. This bilingual database offers resources, records, analysis, and testimonies from medical workers on the ground.

This is an open letter addressed to @POTUS, @VP , and @FLOTUS signed by 45 American physicians and nurses, about what we saw while working in Gaza. Please feel free to distribute. A PDF can be downloaded from the link and/or QR code on page 1.
In connection with the publication of our face mask-trial today, BMJ invited us to write an opinion piece. We chose to criticize the academic discourse around face masks.
It was therapeutic for me to write this, if nothing else!

Devastating read in @politico by two US surgeons who saw unspeakable horrors in a Gaza hospital. While there are many deeply disturbing details, the number of children they saw with gunshot wounds to the heads stands out.
“They’d go on to slowly die, only to be replaced…
With Israel having destroyed so much of Gaza's healthcare system, interrupting vaccinations and other medical care, it is hardly surprising that the poliovirus has been found in sewage samples, putting thousands living in crowded displaced camps at risk. https://t.co/WDD3Gq1ICR
Knowing there was a shortage of article reviewers during and after 2020, I decided to say yes to every article review request I felt qualified to do. I've now reviewed nearly a dozen and have some random insights to share, mostly for grad students and early career folks.
Well argued position paper:
«puberty delaying medications to adolescents with gender dysphoria is not experimental, or at least not any more experimental than standard pediatric practice when there are no licensed treatment options”

@Oslounivsykehus@ECHOhospitals Alle skal føle seg trygge på sykehus! Viktig budskap. På Gaza har sykehus blitt lagt i ruiner og syke og skadde har ingen mulighet til helsehjelp. Når skal dere fordømme det?
The Cass review gathered views from trans gender youth about why access to puberty blockers is important👍. The general response: to delay/avoid bodily changes. Still, this (primary, patient important) outcome isn’t included in syst. rev’s (that I’ve seen). What am I missing?
"Å skape et evidensbasert helsetilbud til transpersoner krever tillit og samarbeid med dem man ønsker å hjelpe." Viktig innspill i en polarisert debatt fra Ketil Slagstad og @ahlie!

So excited to see the set fantastic essays starting to come out advance access in @JournalHMAS for a new Special Issue: Re-Writing Pandemic Histories! Intro now available that I wrote with the always brilliant Claire Edington: https://t.co/roLV6mvx5c
Norway will recognize Palestine as a State.
A two-state solution is the only viable pathway to peace for both Israel and Palestine.
At this critical juncture, our recognition comes in support of the work towards a comprehensive plan for regional peace.
