Israel-Gaza conflict

摘要

We strongly protest that The Lancet published the sadly prejudiced political diatribe by Paola Manduca and colleagues1 that, among other distortions, accuses 95% of Israeli physicians of being complicit of war crimes. Even during conflicts aimed to defend our existence, Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) adhere to the highest moral standards, as one of few, or maybe the only country, that extend a helping hand to its enemies during conflict. The Israeli medical community and the IDF Medical Corps have a major role in this effort. Along the Syrian border, where 1700 innocent civilians were killed only this week, an ongoing and intended massacre of no interest to Manduca and colleagues, a specially dedicated military medical facility continues to treat more than 1000 Syrian victims of civil war.
