Abstract: - Excerpt: An exaggerated sense of self-importance and entitlement, hubris, chutzpah, racism while claiming victimhood and massively flawed thinking are the descriptors that come to mind when considering the 555 doctors at the U of T who signed an Open Statement to the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine (TFOM) from Jewish Physician Faculty. The statement is an endorsement of Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza, which has been "catastrophic", according to the WHO, for its healthcare system and killed 200 medical workers. The opening declaration is: "We affirm the right of TFOM faculty to be openly Zionist and to support the right of Israel to exist and defend itself as a Jewish state and for those faculty to be free of public ostracism, recrimination, exclusion, and discrimination in the TFOM." In plain language, the doctors want to promote Israel’s slaughter in Gaza and not be challenged by (disproportionately) racialized and younger students and colleagues. The statement effectively brands all criticism of Israel as antisemitic. It declares "that accusations against Israel as 'apartheid', 'colonialist', or 'white supremacist' or committing genocide are mendacious and aim to promote the argument that Israel should be dismantled as a Jewish state, making such accusations themselves antisemitic." Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Al Haq, B'tselem and the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinians have all labeled Israel an apartheid state. Many Zionist pioneers described their aims as 'colonial' and hundreds of experts in the field believe Israel is currently committing genocide in Gaza. Subject Headings |
