Palestine and Israel: for an end to violence and the pursuit of justice

Horton also seeks to condemn an “asymmetry of outrage”.1 We echo this sentiment but have drawn different conclusions of where and how this asymmetry has developed, with reference to persistent anti-Palestinian bias in reporting across influential media outlets, both in the past month,3 and extending across several decades.4 Of even greater concern are Horton's unsubstantiated claims that medical clinics in Gaza are “adorned with pictures of [Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden]”.1 This bizarre and dangerously timed statement risks encouraging people who seek to cause violence and attack essential health services. BK is a member of the Oxford Teaching Group; has travelled to Gaza to support medical education and training; and financially supports Medical Aid for Palestinians' medical and humanitarian work. NM is the Chairman of the board of trustees for the International Medical Education Trust (IMET) and receives contributions from IMET for travel to Gaza with the Oxford Teaching Group, and receives support from Medical Aid for Palestinians for travel to Gaza to conduct humanitarian work.
