The Poisoned Lancet: The once-respected medical journal harbors anti-Israel extremists.
National Review ^ | 08/05/2014 | Dennis Prager

Two weeks ago, the British medical journal Lancet, considered to be one of the world’s leading medical publications, published “An open letter for the people in Gaza.” Signed by four European doctors on behalf of 20 others (17 from Italy and three from the UK), the letter had virtually nothing to do with medicine. Rather, it was a grotesque attack on Israel. Some excerpts:

“We ask our colleagues, old and young professionals, to denounce this Israeli aggression.”

“Israel’s behaviour has insulted our humanity, intelligence, and dignity as well as our professional ethics and efforts.”

“We challenge the perversity of a propaganda that justifies the creation of an emergency to masquerade a massacre.” “Among other lies, it is stated that civilians in Gaza are hostages of Hamas.”

“These attacks aim to terrorise, wound the soul and the body of the people, and make their life impossible in the future.”

“We as scientists and doctors cannot keep silent while this crime against humanity continues.”

The four signatories were Paola Manduca, professor at University of Genoa, Italy; Sir Iain Chalmers of the UK; Derek Summerfield of the London Institute of Psychiatry; and Mads Fredrik Gilbert, professor at University Hospital of North Norway.

Nowhere in Lancet is it noted that each of them has devoted much of his or her life to delegitimizing Israel.

All the English doctors have been replaced by doctors from the colonies.

That certainly seems to be the case when one regularly visits the Daily Mail homepage and scrolls through the articles there!
