US and UK doctors who have been in Gaza call out their governments
JVL Introduction
This article from Labour Hub focuses mainly on the moving and powerful letter to the UK Prime Minister from 30 UK doctors who have volunteered in Gaza and notes that a similar letter has been sent by 99 doctors from the USA to their President and Vice President. These outline what they have witnessed, refer to the likely real death toll and demand a ceasefire and an end to their governments’ arms sales.. Below the Labour Hub article are the full texts first of the US letter and then the UK letter. Space limitations mean we have not included the signatories but these can be viewed from the links.
From the US doctors’ letter: “This letter and the appendix show probative evidence that the human toll in Gaza since October is far higher than is understood in the United States. It is likely that the death toll from this conflict is already greater than 118,908, an astonishing 5.4% of Gaza’s population.
I’ve never seen such horrific injuries, on such a massive scale, with so few resources. Our bombs are cutting down women and children by the thousands. Their mutilated bodies are a monument to cruelty. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa and “With only marginal exceptions, everyone in Gaza is sick, injured, or both. This includes every national aid worker, every international volunteer, and probably every Israeli hostage: every man, woman, and child.”

I was absolutely disgusted by Starmer’s statement that Britain backs Israel, which was typically stupid, untruthful and disdainful. I observe that Starmer is without natural feelings and sense, oh, other than the very inflated sense of his own entitlement which he regularly demonstrates.
Politicians are now like rats in a lab that have learnt when they push the right buttons they get a reward.
Small thing that I am doing is to check the labels and avoiding buying product from Israel and USA.
To be honest I am boycotting the majority of USA product for healthy and quality reasons, like food.
I am trying to speak about what is going on in Palestine and trying to at least understand if someone has an opinion about, but the majority of people are so on purpose ‘narcotized’ that people here in UK prefer to get drunk in a pub, they do not care at all.
That what the UK leaders want their people to be: an obbedient docile drunk heard of sheep.
