100 Israeli doctors call for bombing of hospitals in Gaza

Press TV – November 5, 2023

In a new development in the ongoing Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, about 100 Israeli doctors have signed an open letter demanding that the Israeli military bomb hospitals in the Gaza Strip.

Claiming that it is the Israeli occupation army’s “right and duty” to attack hospitals, the petition accused the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas of using the medical facilities as “terrorist nests.”

The Israeli doctors see that Palestinian hospitals have become a legitimate target for the Israeli occupation forces, upholding the narrative that Palestinian Resistance groups are using hospitals for protection.

“The residents of Gaza saw fit to turn hospitals into terrorist nests to take advantage of Western morality, they are the ones who brought destruction upon themselves; terrorism must be eliminated everywhere. Attacking terrorist headquarters is the right and the duty of the Israeli army.”

The letter has been widely condemned online. Ghassan Abu Sitta, a British-Palestinian surgeon who is currently in Gaza, took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to criticize the letter.

“100 Israeli doctors sign a petition calling for the destruction of all hospitals in Gaza. Lovely people with a great collegiate attitude. They must have taken the same Hippocratic oath as Harold Shipman,” he wrote, referring to an English doctor and serial killer who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2000.

Earlier this week, 43 rabbis issued a religious decree to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it is religiously acceptable and permissible to bomb Palestinian hospitals in Gaza.

A document signed by the rabbis states that there was no religious or moral objection to striking hospitals when civilians are allegedly used as shields and hidden behind them, Israel’s Channel 14 television news reported on Thursday.

The message had now been conveyed to military units, the prime minister and cabinet members, the report added.

This comes as the Israeli forces, for the 30th day in a row, are waging a devastating war on Gaza, in which at least 9,770 Palestinians were killed, including 4,800 children and 2,509 women, and more than 24,000 others were injured.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have repeatedly targeted hospitals, residences, mosques, and churches. Under the Geneva Convention, attacks on hospitals are strictly prohibited.

On October 18, at least 500 civilians were killed by Israeli airstrikes on al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City. The attack has been condemned as an act of genocide by many governments around the world although the Israeli regime has denied responsibility.

According to Gaza’s health ministry, as many as 15 people were killed and 60 others injured on Friday after the regime targeted a convoy of ambulances leaving al-Shifa hospital.

Several hospitals in Gaza City have become refuges for Palestinians hoping to be spared Israeli bombardments, which began on October 7.

  1. Circulate this barbarity, this call for murder, this call for genocide by Israelis. The world will know what permeates in so many Zionist jews, whether governmental, religious, secular or otherwise.

    Then, let those barbarians, murderers, genociders react with accusations of anti-semitism when revulsion takes hold and the world recoils with what is revealed.

    Then, let the American Joe Biden people put a twisted, apologetic commentary on its partner in all of this, continue to moralize that what Israel does with the bombs, et al, is not a concern of America.

    The more Joe Biden’s face appears, the more it looks like Stalin. The more it resembles Netanyahu’s. The more Antony Blinken’s face appears, the more it can be likened to any one of the Israelis who call for Gaza to be struck with a nuclear bomb: smooth talking, appealing to whomever will agree that Israel should murder any and all of the non-citizen ‘citizens’ who are not jewish.

  2. Who can be surprised? “Doctors” might as well join the bloodthirsty crowd of colonial Zionism’s psychopaths and moral deviants who advocate genocide.

    Thanks, Press TV.

    • The medical profession of late seems loaded with moral deviants that have not just advocated but actively engaged in genocide. I suppose this should just be expected.

  3. “100 Israeli doctors sign a petition calling for the destruction of all hospitals in Gaza.”
    Yeah, well, doctors have not turned out to be the fine, upstanding, trustworthy professionals many people thought they were, looking back on the COVID scam.
