Dr. Osama Mohamad was one of our stellar @UTSW_RadOnc residents (class of 2019) & is now Chair of Radiation Oncology in Beirut.

I appreciated reading his reflection on practicing oncology under such extraordinary circumstances & amidst ongoing conflict.

@ASTRO_org I implore @ASTRO_org to retract this post. Promoting war criminals who occupied the only cancer hospital in the Gaza Strip, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, and later demolished it, contradicts every principle we stand for as oncologists.

[Musaddiq Awan @Musjawan]

@ASTRO_org As an active ASTRO member who has served on multiple committees/panels, I do not think it is appropriate for our flagship organization to publicize the use of radiation with the image of an individual accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the ICC

[Alex Hanania @RTxDoc]

@ASTRO_org This post is a serious lapse in judgment. I'd encourage every colleague who treats patients regardless of nationality to raise this with leadership. Retract this post. Abhorrent.

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

@NiuSanford @NRGonc Thanks for the update, hopefully we will accrue our first patient soon. Would love to see a 15fx regimen in the next amendment!

Shared medical decision making doesn’t mean listing a menu of options and asking the patient to choose

[Papa Heme @Papa_Heme]

If you are ever diagnosed with cancer ask your oncologist (or AI) what the expected natural history of your specific cancer is without treatment. This will help you balance the risks of the proposed treatment against the risks of your cancer.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Journalists go to war zones and are killed. Journalists expose incriminating secrets of power centers and are prosecuted and jailed. That takes bravery.

Heralding Bari Weiss -- an opinion columnist who spouts billionaire-pleasing dreck -- "the bravest journalist" is repellent.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

Today marks another tragic milestone in occupied West Bank as the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces & settlers rises to 1001 since 7 October 2023. A fifth of those killed are children.

There must be an end to the bloodshed.  Annexation in West Bank needs to be reversed. There must be accountability for all violations of intl law - @volker_turk

If you're healthy enough to displace 2 million people. You're healthy enough to stand trial for corruption.

Now that all the remaining hostages are Palestinians we’ll never hear another word about hostages from the powers that be.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story:

“I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to raise. I was born in a family of refugees, and my parents could barely read or write. My father finished sixth grade and my mother couldn’t read or write. It’s quite a journey. Science allows you to do it. Science is the greatest equalising force in the world.

Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.”

Today Yaghi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson for their work developing metal–organic frameworks.

I had an amazing time returning to the old residency stomping grounds and seeing the new facility as visiting professor and BCM #radonc. Met a great group of residents and discussed optimization of #brachytherapy workflows!

🚨Heart wrenching: A child cries while carrying his younger sister on his shoulders, walking the long displacement route from northern to southern Gaza amid intense Israeli bombardment.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned for the recognition of Palestine — an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Next, the UK should recognise the genocide in Gaza, end its complicity in crimes against humanity, and stop arming Israel.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨Australian doctors in Gaza issue a shocking testimony from Al-Shifa Hospital under relentless Israeli bombardment:
“We could die at any moment. 70–80% of our patients are children and pregnant women.”
“One woman, nine months pregnant, was beheaded we delivered her baby by emergency C-section, and she survived.”

Supplies are nonexistent, operating rooms are swarming with flies, and staff live under constant threat.
“Healthcare is not collapsing it has collapsed. Can someone please stop this terror and horror?”

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

Since 1947, Canada has supported a two-state solution – Palestine and Israel living side by side in peace and security. Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine and offers our partnership in building the promise of lasting peace in the Middle East. https://t.co/wyORqCiyib
