Israel-Gaza conflict

摘要

As a humanitarian physician community, we grieve the loss of innocent lives. War is anathema to our moral and medical sensibilities, but nevertheless remains a reality of the present global political landscape, particularly in the Middle East where ongoing internecine struggles exist between different ideologies, killing or displacing thousands of innocent people. Before addressing the inflammatory propaganda promulgated by Paola Manduca and colleagues,1 we unequivocally state that we hope for the day when "nation shall not lift the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:4).To reuse Manduca and colleagues' comments, their letter "has insulted our humanity, intelligence, and dignity and our professional ethics". They claim to represent facts, but instead obscure their description of human suffering in Gaza withjnflammatory falsehoods, deliberately misleading the reader.
