A grave war crime. I pray that he survives till his freedom. The world has let him down, like all the others.

Physicians in the US should be publicizing what is happening to him and has happened to so many physicians at the hands of Israeli torture, imprisonment and murder.

I'm tired of reading daily the atrocities being committed by the zionist. Zionism is an ism that needs canceling. The UN should kick Israel out and let Palestine in as a representative UN member. Israel should be BSD out of existence and replaced by a DEI nation of a name TBD.

This is an outrageous injustice. To treat a distinguished doctor like a criminal is a disgrace. Shame on you Israel for destroying the health system of Gaza. It is a war crime and I hope one day you will stand accountable.

If Israel could get away with gas chambers and incinerators, I believe they would…

Zionist militias used flamethrowers, on the homes of Palestinians, in 1948 which accelerated the Nakba. Free free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Astounding that this is allowed to continue. Heartbreaking.

I can’t bear to think about what this brave doctor is being subjected to, having read accounts of the torture inflicted by the Israelis on other Palestinian prisoners. And yet, the West was silent when Dr Safiya was taken prisoner and remains silent to this day.

Thank you for keeping his name alive. I pray he stays alive.

The level of pure barbarism displayed by the Israeli government is totally shocking, as is their utter contempt for human rights and international law. Does the outlaw state of Israel really expect to be treated with anything but horror and contempt? BDS!

WHERE are the screams and demands from our medical professionals around the world?

This brutal crime by a hideous regime of a tiny country MUST END, is it truly possible that the world's diplomats, soldiers, armies cannot END this horror! Oh! you are all shamed, we are all shamed to allow such a nightmare in our time. God help us the blood is everywhere.....

When medical workers speak out against the genocide in Palestine, they are attacked, suspended, fired, their medical licenses threatened. For a full U N report on this activity, see:

Right, what you say is so like what happened with covid and the lockdowns. On a quick perusal this paper reads like a nice academic exercise, clearly it has had NO effect. We need ACTION. But WHAT action will stop this crazed frenzy of torture and killing and devastation? it is impossible to believe that all the world's people have no ALTERNATIVE but to stand watching as immobilized observers. OUR governments have supported two years of escalating genocide! NO NO NO, we can do better. More flotillas, the sea full of flotillas all heading to Gaza!

That the world allows Israelis to get away with their atrocities and war crimes is astounding and unconscionable. A very black mark on humanity. Israelis are the scum of the earth.

I watched the documentary earlier today. I remember watching him in his white coat walking to an Israeli tank to talk to the goons inside. He has such a kind face. All Palestinians held by the genocidal entity must be released. This is their land. Go back where you came from. It is Palestine.

Because I had some wonderful Jewish American friends, & had read the Diary of Anne Franck, I have been disposed much of my long life to support Israel. No longer. I am horrified by what they are doing in Gaza, & do not understand why support for Palestine is so controversial.

Of course the Hammas attck was beyond the pale, but killing everyone inside Gaza is not the answer. It appears when they said "Never again", it meant that they would become like their Nazi aggressors. Valerie
