Standing by Our Colleagues in Gaza — A Plea to the U.S. Medical Community | NEJM In the face of Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza’s health system and the catastrophic famine caused by the devastation, U.S. physicians have an ethical obligation to respond and support immediate ch...

🙏NEJM!!
It is not only a disgrace for the medical community not to speak out loudly against these crimes committed by the Israeli government, but also for all Jews around the world who remain silent in the face of these crimes.

Madrid drängt auf Boykott: Israel soll von internationalen Events ausgeschlossen werden Die Regierung in Madrid fordert weitreichende Konsequenzen für Israels Vorgehen in Gaza – und kündigt Boykotte an. Ein Überblick.

This is long needed. Israel needs to be excluded from all European competitions and stages - overall it is not even an European country nor does it behave like one.

International hunger watchdog faces political attacks over Gaza famine reports Israeli government tries to discredit science underlying the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification

Unfortunately, this is so typical for Israel. They are trying so hard to kill any critique often before it is even published. A common pattern is also to call all critics "antisemitic". You Israelis should all be ashamed for not speaking up.

Why worry, I better fly.

I worry about my US friends. 🇺🇸 has become a complacent, unreliable partner, but you elected him.

MAGA the hope - dictatorship, loss of freedom of speech, and tariffs in exchange. Makes me truly sad, but..

Why worry, I can still fly here
🇨🇭 is a free democracy

When are our political leaders ready to stop and punish Israel? Israel must be banned from all European competitions and from all trade until they build an independent state of Palestine and pay war reparations.

In a First, Leading Israeli Rights Groups Accuse Israel of Gaza Genocide

The next generations of Jewsh will have to live with this guilt as did the Germans after World War 2. The majority of Jewsh is still silent and mutually supports the genocide. Shame on you. At least there is some light also in Israel.

I love the beeping.

Accoustic signals play an important role in my life.

Beeping in the ICU = my patient has a heartbeat = alive

Beeping in the air while flying = I am climbing

Beeping IS GOOD

What are your favorite beeps?

Die Israel-Lobby versucht weltweit die Kritiker Israels als Antisemiten zu verunglimpfen und zum Schweigen zu bringen. Davon darf man sich nicht beeindrucken lassen. Es gibt in vielen Ländern Tausende von Juden, die Netanyahus Politik hart verurteilen.

Schwere Vorwürfe gegen die Chorherren von Saint-Maurice Im ältesten Kloster der Schweiz sind Kinder sexuell missbraucht worden. Trotz eines Verbots hatte ein Täter kürzlich noch Kontakt mit Kindern.

Gibt
es überhaupt ein Kloster ohne Schande? Eher eine Rarität - wie ein Zebra auf dem Matterhorn.

I'm so sorry for the many interested colleagues I can't consider. We restrict the course to 20 participants to allow everyone enough time for practice - leaving about 80-100 candidates on the waiting list. I feel really sorry and apologize.

I am so thankful to my faculty for the wonderful friendship and the shared passion to pass on our experience and skills to highly motivated colleagues.

Thanks to all this expertise, this course has gone viral - so much that we should actually have a lottery each year to select the participants.
