Rapid Response:

Reporting the consequences of Israel's Occupation

Once again the BMJ has lived up to its well-deserved reputation in
publishing Dr. Derrick Summerfield's article, "Palestine: The Assault on
Health Care and Other War Crimes." If every scientific and professional
journal showed the same integrity in reporting the appalling results of
Israel's brutal and illegal occupation of Palestinian territory we might
move swiftly to a just resolution of the "Palestinian Problem". You will
no doubt experience the full impact of the Zionist propaganda machine that
will attempt to silence or discredit Dr. Summerfield. But, rest assured,
those in the scholarly community who stand for truth and justice will
continue to respect and support you as a voice of reason.
