Leading medical journal The Lancet publishes call to expel Israeli Medical Association over Gaza genocide
——
Medical journal The Lancet has published a petition calling for the Israeli Medical Association to be boycotted and expelled from the World Medical Association over its failure to condemn what the petition describes as Israel's genocide against Palestinians and the collapse of Gaza's healthcare system.
The campaign, launched by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, and Doctors for Gaza, has so far received support from more than 1,150 healthcare professionals and medical organizations. The call for expulsion is expected to be raised at the World Medical Association's general assembly in October.
The Israeli Medical Association opposed the move, arguing that its expulsion would not advance peace, healthcare, or human rights, and would instead create a precedent for using political pressure campaigns to isolate healthcare workers based on their nationality.
You wouldn’t care Tony Leon. Remember during that time, you spent your 1970’s as a white apartheid SADF member being trained to kill Freedom Fighters and writing in the apartheid SADF Magazine Paratus praising torture of Freedom Fighters as “strictly regulated and humane”

THE SELECTIVE NATURE OF HISTORICAL MEMORY.
Two million Koreans killed in three years.
And most people have never heard it called an atrocity.
History is written by those with the power to choose what gets remembered.
And what gets forgotten.

Video shows Mohammad Abu Giab, a 15-year-old fisherman from Gaza, diving into the sea he loved. He was later shot dead by Israeli forces off Deir el-Balah.
Gaza's Fishermen's Syndicate says at least 238 fishermen have been killed by Israel since October 2023.
New footage has emerged in the killing of seven-month-old Palestinian Sam Abu Haikal in the occupied West Bank.
The video appears to show the family's car slowing to a stop before an Israeli soldier opens fire.
