For those unsure about the arguments for or against an academic (including medical) and cultural boycott of Israel, please go to bricup.org.uk for the arguments put clearly. In my view the case is irresistible and is gradually becoming familiar and logical to those who might never previously had thought about it.
The Israeli medical establishment has been in active or passive collusion with the Occupation and its impact on the health and wellbeing of Palestinian people, and on the right of Palestinian physicians, academics and medical students to pursue their work without danger of being killed or wounded, to study, attend conferences etc. Apart from a few honourable exceptions (eg. Physicians for Human Rights-Israel), neither the IMA nor Israeli doctors at large have ever protested. Indeed large numbers of Israeli doctors have done military service in interrogation units where torture is routine and doctors are part of the process- in violation of the WMA Declaration of Tokyo.
Here below are the details of a conference on Integrative Medicine in Israel, with a call for papers and participants. IF YOU KNOW OF COLLEAGUES WHO MIGHT ATTEND SUCH A CONFERENCE, PLEASE CONSIDER CONTACTING THEM AND ASKING THEM TO READ THE ARGUMENTS FOR PRINCIPLED BOYCOTT. DO CIRCULATE THIS AS NECESSARY. THIS INITIATIVE IS ENTIRELY IN LINE WITH OUR ONGOING WMA ACTION.
Yours

Convenor
