Reading all the responses, it appers truth does cut deep into

The BMJ MUST stand up to the unfounded and highly unacceptable
attacks on the article and its author not least to ensure its integrity as
a body prepared to speak out against injustices on medical grounds. The
diatribe of responses from, it appears mostly, the Jewish community is
really saddening. Not least in that they are incapable of accepting
realities of the Palestinian situation and more worrying, incredulous

militant in the middle of a civilian crowd knowing well that the missile
you are about to fire will not only kill the militant BUT also its
shrapnel will shred many innocent people, you are committing a war crime.
Here is another example of the Israeli brutality:
