Petition calls for boycott of Israeli Medical Association
The LancetNumerous health organizations, including the People’s Health Movement (PHM), Artsen voor Gaza (Doctors for Gaza), and the Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council (JVP HAC) are calling for the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) to be suspended from the World Medical Association for “its failure to speak out against the genocide of Palestinians, the destruction of health-care infrastructure, and the torture and killing of health-care workers in Gaza.” “The Lancet has not identified any statements in which it publicly condemned Israeli attacks on Gaza's health system, criticised Israeli conduct in the war, called for a ceasefire, or responded to UN reports of genocide against Palestinians.”
You can read more about the campaign and take action here.
