Prominent Brit medical journal will no longer publish letters from 'Israeli academics'

The Lancet was once one of the world’s premier medical journals, but it has been captured by anti-Israel extremists, who are now banning letters of rejoinder from Israeli academics.  This is part of an effort to isolate and ultimate strangle Israel through capture of world institutions of information, science, culture, finance, and trade. The general model used is the effort to topple the apartheid regime in South Africa.  But this time around, instead of support for the values of democracy, human equality, human rights, andn tolerance, the activists are supporting a murderous, intolerant, woman- and homosexual-hating regime that seeks to enact genocide on the Jews of Israel first, and then the world.

Phyllis Chesler reports in Breitbart:

The Lancet has, once again, engaged in an outrageous Blood Libel against Israel-- but, unlike its previous attacks on Israel, the journal has told an Israeli doctor that letters of rejoin[d]er from "Israeli academics" will not be published.

Why not publish only Palestinian academics?

What is a Palestinian academic?

[Mike Darancette]

I’m sure the input from Sudanese and Somali medical experts will be a fit replacement.

A significant world scholar assembles a well-researched item, on a pressing world issue for peer review, and Lancet won't publish it because the writer is a jew? I'm sorry, but how fast do you want to go out of business? A bad choice on human, social, business and scientific grounds. The item will still be broadly spread to the world and Lancet will be left behind. Many horrors of history began with blaming "the jews". I stand with Israel. All you haters, כוס רבאכ

That does it! I’m cancelling my subscription today!

Very NAZI like behavior, Lancet. Very sad.

And the Jews yawn…….

The Nazis kicked out all of their Jewish scientists, came back to bite them in the butt....hard.

So, if an Israeli comes up with a cure for cancer, the Brits won’t use it, or even teach about it?

Jolly good show, Britain, cut off your nose to spite your face.

“Well they did say ‘Legends’. Koufax is probably the only one that most people would know was Jewish.”

How difficult is it to determine that Hank Greenberg was Jewish?

[dfwgator]

See #34

[Buckeye McFrog]

You know what this means.

A cure for cancer will be discovered by an Israeli any day now.

God does indeed have a sense of humor.

[riverdawg]

Many people might recognize Hank Greenberg from the Hollywood movie from a few years ago. Koufax keeps a low profile, to his credit, but I think he still helps the Dodgers pitchers during spring training. Lou Boudreau’s mother was Jewish so, technically, he counts although he was adopted and raised by a Christian family.

It is stupid. It may actually hurt the public.

[the scotsman]

Nothing to do with ‘Britain’.

Just a publication read by 0.000001% of the UK pop.
