If Laura Loomer had been around in 1940, she'd have been trying to prevent Jewish refugees from entering the US. You know she would. And if Trump had been president then, she'd have succeeded.
Myself and 2 colleagues are embarking on a medical mission to provide emergency medical and surgical care for Palestinian children from the West Bank.
We fly out on May 30th for 1 week.

When there is pain, the animal instinct is flight-or-fight. Calm yourself down and reflect instead. The pain you are feeling is due to things being in conflict--maybe you've come up against a terrible reality, such as the death of a friend, and are unable to accept it; maybe you've been forced to acknowledge a weakness that challenges the idea you'd had of yourself. If you can think clearly about what's behind it, you will learn more about what reality is like and how to better deal with it. Self-reflectiveness is the quality that most differentiates those who evolve quickly from those who don't. Remember: Pain + Reflection = Progress. #principleoftheday
Do you think all the patients in the hospital were actors or real patients?
If you accept they were real patients, can you acknowledge that the Israeli forces have effectively eliminated the major provider of medical care for civilians in north Gaza?
While you may consider targeting the supply chain of an army legitimate, these actions imply Israel’s war is against the civilians of Gaza.
And you brushed aside someone’s comment about the absence of the command center, when that was the EXACT justification for this tragedy.
Are you now willfully participating in misinformation rather than being part of the discourse towards establishing peace?
I understand why an Israeli civilian would feel unable to live alongside Hamas.
Similarly, I understand why a Palestinian would feel similarly about Israeli politicians who support apartheid, settler violence, and collective punishment.
When we condemn Hamas, we must, in the same breath, condemn the Israeli leaders who created the environment that bred Hamas.
@paulaptlb @DrRupaMarya @AmerMedicalAssn What about the fact that Israeli doctors have endorsed Israel bombing hospitals in Gaza. And the fact that Israel is bombing hospitals. Targeting healthcare providers. And the ask was to end killing so that healthcare can be provided.
