I love the comments at this point because they're clearly incensed and I love it.

Summary by Brave AI :

She Exposed a Prestigious Medical Journal’s Silence on the Holocaust. Now She’s Asking about Gaza:
A historian who exposed the New England Journal of Medicine's silence on Nazi atrocities confronted the journal’s treatment of Gaza during a Harvard symposium. (The Intercept, 2024-10-17)

“Earlier this year, two Harvard medical historians published an article … found that the New England Journal of Medicine, … either chose not to cover the Nazi regime’s racist and antisemitic health policies, mass killings, and medical experimentation, or, in one case, praised the Nazi health care system for its approach to public health.

“The New England Journal of Medicine convened a symposium on Wednesday where the authors, Joelle M. Abi-Rached and Allan M. Brandt, could present their findings — and Abi-Rached took the opportunity to call the journal out for repeating its mistakes today.”

Oxfam condemns killing of water engineers in Gaza
(2024-10-19)

https://www.oxfam.org/node/24899
———

“Oxfam condemns in the strongest terms the killing in Gaza today of four water engineers and workers from the Khuzaa municipality who were working with our strategic partner the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU).

“The four men were killed on their way to conduct repairs to water infrastructure in Khuzaa, east of Khan Younis. Despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities their clearly-marked vehicle was bombed...”

“Attacks on civilian infrastructure and those who maintain it are clear violations of international humanitarian law. Those responsible must be held to account. Such attacks are part of the crime of using starvation as a weapon of war.

“Oxfam demands an independent investigation into this and other attacks on essential workers…”

How many more violations should we need? #StopGenocide

Anti-Zionist views are 'worthy of respect', UK judge says
(Middle East Eye, 2024-10-15)

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/anti-zionist-views-worthy-respect-uk-judge-finds
———

“An employment tribunal in the UK has concluded that holding the belief that Israel's actions against Palestinians amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’.

“In February, a UK judge ruled in a landmark decision that David Miller, a professor of political sociology, who was fired from the University of Bristol in 2021 for anti-Zionist views, was unfairly dismissed and subjected to discrimination.

“This week, the tribunal published its 120-page judgement* which sets out why Miller's views were protected under anti-discrimination laws. “

Opinion | Yahya Sinwar’s Death Can End This War
(New York Times, 2024-10-17)

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/opinion/yahya-sinwar-dead-hamas-gaza.html

“The death of Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader who was believed to be the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack, provides a new opening for the United States to meaningfully push for a cease-fire and hostage release in Gaza and for the de-escalation of violence across the Middle East.” 🤦

I wouldn’t care about this article if its author were no “Matthew Duss”, who “was a foreign policy adviser to Senator Bernie Sanders.”

Dr Feroze Sidhwa, the author of the recent New York Times guest essay chronicling what 65 doctors, nurses and paramedics witnessed while working on the frontlines of Israel's war on Gaza, was a volunteer with one of the medical groups now banned by Israel from entering Gaza.

Sidhwa was a volunteer with the Palestinian American Medical Association (Pama), according to a Facebook post by the organisation in September. Pama said Sidhwa had volunteered at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.

Pama confirmed to The Washington Post on Friday that it was one of the organisations Israel has banned from entering Gaza. The medical organisation had worked in Gaza for years before the current war.
