An MSM factual report on seeking medics for Israeli settlements

JVL Introduction

Recently an event was organised by Medex as a “can’t miss event for doctors and medical students” thinking of emigrating from the UK to Israel. The event was, apparently, primarily organised by Israeli ministries and advertised to doctors and medical students providing the chance to network and, indeed, to begin the process of gaining a licence to practise under Israeli requirements.  The sites where the company being recruited to operates include include several in West Bank settlements, all of which are illegal under international law.

A colleqgue from Jewish Anti Zionist Action (JAZA) attended the event and gained the evidence used by Sky.  Two Labour MPs, Andy MacDonald and Deborah Abrahams are quoted here as being perturbed by this event and so soon after the event at Edgware Synagogue where properties in settlements were being promoted – despite assurances that they would not be.

Sanctions have been announced but not yet implemented as details are worked out. Meanwhile settlements expansion, settler attacks and demolition of Palestinian property and displacement of Palestinian people comtinue.  This event is just one more reason why the sanctions are needed now and not “in several months’ time”
