Dr. Alice Rothchild requested why well being professionals have remained silent relating to the Israeli bombings in Gaza [“In Israel-Hamas war, where are the voices of the healing profession?,” Jan. 4, Opinion]. The bombings have been all out of proportion in exacting revenge for the Hamas assault on Israel on Oct. 7. The victims have been nearly totally civilians. The destruction of hospitals means many sick and wounded can’t be cared for. That is incorrect, and we have to communicate out.
I’m a nurse practitioner (retired) who has lengthy admired the Jewish individuals and their must have a homeland. Israel has a proper to defend itself, however that can’t justify the wholesale slaughter of those that are usually not liable for the assault on Oct 7. Palestinians even have a proper to reside, and the federal government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to vary its technique.
