Re: “In Israel-Hamas conflict, the place are the voices of the therapeutic career?” [Jan. 4, Opinion]”
Op-Ed creator Alice Rothchild described the various examples of when medical colleagues haven’t spoken up in regard to the conflict in Gaza. I can’t think about the explanations for the silence provided that not solely are Palestinians in Gaza experiencing the bombing with no secure place to go but in addition having just about no entry to meals, gasoline, drugs and clear water whereas hospitals and ambulances are focused.
Within the meantime, the USA continues to offer Israel with the weaponry that enables this tragedy in Gaza to proceed. I totally assist Rothchild’s enchantment for a long-term cease-fire, restoration of water, gasoline, electrical energy and ample humanitarian help.
Nevertheless, if we fail to grasp and cope with the explanations behind uprisings by Palestinians over the previous 75 years, there’s little hope for safety for both Israelis or Palestinians sooner or later.
