Rapid Response:

Pulp Fiction

I have spent the last ten years treating both Palestinian and Israeli
victims of the present conflict in Israel, Lebanon, the West Bank and the
Gaza strip.
The article written by Derek Summerfield is at best pulp fiction and at
worst dangerous misinformation.
As a British Doctor I am ashamed that such nonsense could be published in
a respected medical journal such as the BMJ.
