Gave a presentation to the Harvard University course: Medicine and Conflict: The History & Ethics of Healing in Political Turmoil. Very satisfying experience, lots of positive response: 93 participants. Focus on Palestine & Covid 19. Would love to share with other college classes
One more slide from my presentation:
Crux of the problem
-Status quo can only continue if we as human beings see Jews as more human, more deserving, more innocent/honorable than Palestinian Arabs
-Fundamental issue: racism which potentially leads to ethnic cleaning and genocide
Please tag or forward this thread to any professors or school departments that might be interested in this sort presentation and discussion on Israel/Palestine, medicine, and ethics.

On November 13 Dani Dayan, the Israeli consul general who himself is a settler gave a talk at @Harvard_Law School on the "legal strategy of Israeli settlements." As he began the talk, two thirds of the room got out of their seats, were silent, and
Student held up signs saying "Settlements Are A War Crime" in protest. They walked out of the room en masse. Dani Dayan was left to complete his talk to a largely empty room. More via @Mondoweiss: mondoweiss.net/2019/11/harvar…

Jewish Voice for Peace - Health Advisory Council #WeeklyHumanRightsHero & Violation Aug 19, 2018
Violation: Israeli gov. use of health & health care as a weapon of war - this serious human rights violation comes in conjunction w/ a statement by JVP HAC: jewishvoiceforpeace.org/jvp-health-adv…
Whether through denying entry of many essential medications and medical equipment/technology used for serious medical conditions including cancer treatment or the denial of exit visasfor critically ill patients to receive care outside of the Gaza Strip...
...Israel is increasingly making it impossible for patients to get the life-saving care they need. Ex: "Suddenly, a Palestinian Breast Cancer Survivor Becomes a 'Security Threat'" by @Hass_Haaretz:
