My lecture at the American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting on trauma in Gaza was canceled after a pressure campaign by pro-Israel groups. Health professionals must be able to speak about Palestinian suffering without fear of punishment.

Medical societies in the U.S. have failed to meet their ethical responsibilities by refusing to take a stand against war crimes and genocide in Gaza.

Despite overwhelming documentation of plausible genocide and medical war crimes in Gaza, major U.S. medical organizations, journals, and lobbies have neglected their duty to take a stand against these atrocities.
