Schillerinstitutet: Folkmordet i Gaza borde upphört för länge sen!

Schillerinstitutet ansluter sig till de dussintals organisationer och tusentals individer världen över som stöder kravet från Läkare mot folkmord (Doctors Against Genocide – DAG) att det pågående folkmordet i Gaza omedelbart måste upphöra.

 

”Den avsiktliga bombningen av sjukhus, attackerna mot sjukvårdspersonal och den systematiska förstörelsen av medicinsk service måste stoppas. Inte ett enda barn till ska behöva lida, svälta, amputeras eller mista livet på grund av detta pågående folkmord”, heter det i DAG:s senaste appell. ”Vi blir sjuka av folkmordet”, skriver de.

Dessa läkare och vårdpersonal representerar den bästa humanistiska traditionen i den hippokratiska läkareden , som i förlängningen föreskriver för alla moraliska personer som vill hjälpa till att bota människor att vi inte får ”göra någon skada eller orättvisa” – men som också antyder att vi aktivt måste göra det goda. Medan större delen av världen står bredvid och med fasa ser på när ett nytt folkmord utspelar sig framför våra ögon, medan Natos regeringar leder oss till randen av ett kärnvapenkrig, håller de som står upp och höjer sin röst mot dessa Nürnbergbrott gnistan av allas vår mänsklighet vid liv – och det är en kraft som, om den stärks och utvecklas, kan spridas och göra oändligt gott i världen.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, grundare av Schillerinstitutet, uppmanade den 3 januari alla organisationer och individer att gå samman för att stoppa dt pågående folkmordet, i ett anförande vid det 83:e veckomötet för Internationella fredskoalitionen, som hon tagit initiativ till:

”Jag tror att det är därför vi absolut måste göra något åt detta, men inte stanna där: För tänk på Sudan, tänk på Jemen, tänk på Haiti. Det förekommer folkmord, och det är en del av det här systemet, vilket är anledningen till att vi behöver en ny säkerhets- och utvecklingsarkitektur som lägger ett helt nytt system på bordet. Jag tror att 2025 är det år då vi antingen kommer att lyckas göra det, eller så kommer vi att se att världen kan sprängas i luften. Så det här är en mycket stark anledning för att göra allt vi kan.”

 

Schillerinstitutet lyfter fram Zepp-LaRouches ”Tio principer för en ny internationell säkerhets- och utvecklingsarkitektur” https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2022/11/30/ten-principles-of-a-new-international-security-and-development-architecture/   som ett diskussionsdokument för att främja och fördjupa den processen.

   Forumet ”Sjuka av folkmord – Inte ett barn till, inte ett sjukhus till”

Den mycket kompetenta amerikabaserade organisationen Läkare mot folkmord höll ett nytt nätforum den 5 januari, med 300-400 deltagare online och fler på andra plattformar, med starka presentationer om det pågående folkmordet i Gaza och nödvändigheten att få slut på det nu. Ett tema var att det finns en sjukdom som orsakas av folkmordet som sprids över hela världen av USA:s stöd till Israels ledare och militär. Den måste hejdas genom att själva folkmordet stoppas – med organisering!

 

Talarna hade en affisch bakom sig med kravet på frigivning av doktor Hussam Abu Safiya, chef för Kamal Adwan-sjukhuset, det sista sjukhuset i norra Gaza, som stängdes och förstördes av Israels armé veckan innan, den 27 december, då också doktor Safiya arresterades. Mötet hade hoppats kunna inkludera människor i Gaza, inklusive doktor Abu Safiyas familj, men uppkopplingarna fungerade inte.

 

Bland läkaraktivisterna fanns Karameh Hawash Kuemmerle som moderator, tillsammans med doktor Nidal Jiboor. Doktor Mimi Syed inledde med en beskrivning av de fruktansvärda förhållanden hon sett under sina två resor till Gaza, och betonade det akuta behovet av medicinska evakueringar, särskilt av barn som annars inte kan få medicinsk behandling.  Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

 

Alla tre hade också talat vid Internationella fredskoalitionens möte den 3 januari.: Här börjar doktor Jibor sin rapport där: https://youtu.be/PXIHr76qpkQ?t=1692

På bilden ses doktor Hussam Abu Safiya i sin vita läkarrock utan att tveka vandra rakt fram genom rasmassorna på gatan till två stridsberedda israeliska stridsvagnar för förhandla om att rädda sitt sjukhus den 27.12. Det var dagen då Kamal Adwan-sjukhuset attackerades och han och personalen bortfördes och misshandlades tillsammans med de patienter som kunde flyttas.   https://mondoweiss.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/husam-abu-safiya-tanks.jpeg

 

I ett särskilt upprop utvecklar Läkare mot folkmord – DAG (nedan på engelska) betydelsen av att angrepp på hälsovård är ett brott mot internationell humanitär rätt och de Hippokratiska principerna som läkare OCH samhället i stort är skyldiga att följa. När läkare hindras att utföra sina heliga skyldigheter att hjälpa sina patienter, blir de förstahandsvittnen när det handlar om att avgöra om det är folkmordsbrott enligt Nürnbergprinciperna. Detta gör att alla hälsoarbetare med sina direkta erfarenheter, lika mycket som jurister kan, avgöra om det handlar om folkmord. Här ligger den extra sprängkraften i läkarnas och andra hälsoarbetares uttalanden om att det pågår folkmord i Gaza.

Det är därför det är viktigt att alla läkare och andra hälsoarbetare och deras arbetsplatser och organisationer nås med DAG:s upprop så de kan ta ställning för att försvara hälsosektorn i Gaza, och även alla andra ställen där hälsovård hotas av brottslig inhumanitet.

 

Doctors Against Genocide Urgent Appeal: Take Immediate

Action To Protect Healthcare and Children in Gaza

Jan. 4, 2025 (EIRNS)—The following letter, available on the

website of Doctors Against Genocide, is being circulated as part of

DAG’s campaign, “Not Another Child Not Another Hospital.” It has

been endorsed by more than 40 organizations and more than 5000

employees in the healthcare sector.

 

Urgent Appeal to CDC, NIH, Presidents of Medical Associations,

CEOs of Hospitals, and Healthcare Leaders: Take Immediate Action

to Protect Healthcare and children in Gaza

As healthcare workers and leaders who are committed to the

protection of life and health, it is our responsibility to address the

urgent and escalating crisis in Gaza and Lebanon. Hospitals are

being bombed in Gaza and in Lebanon as we speak, with healthcare

facilities reduced to rubble. We have seen the destruction of nearly

every hospital in Gaza, the incarceration, torture, and killing of

healthcare professionals, and the horrific scenes of patients tethered

to IV lines murdered or burned alive in their beds. Children have

been maimed and shot by snipers, their bodies riddled with bullets,

and are being systematically starved. The very foundation of

healthcare in Gaza is being systematically dismantled.

Recent reports confirm that medical missions are now banned from

entering Gaza, and the northern part of Gaza is being completely

shut down: no journalists, no doctors, no food, no fuel, and no aid

are being allowed in. These severe restrictions have made it

impossible to deliver even the most basic medical services.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, over 1000

healthcare workers have been killed and hundreds more have been

illegally detained and currently in prison. Every hospital has been

bombed and the health system is in total collapse.

As healthcare leaders, we urge you to issue statements demanding

the following:

1. Stop Bombing Hospitals and Attacking Healthcare and Aid

Workers: We demand an immediate halt to all bombings and

attacks on hospitals, healthcare facilities, and aid workers.

These spaces and personnel must be protected under

international law, and the ongoing destruction must end.

2. Call for the Protection of Children in Gaza and Lebanon: No

child should ever be a victim of war, under any

circumstance. The safety and security of children must be

respected at all times, with no exceptions. It is our collective

moral duty to protect the most vulnerable, ensuring their

right to life, peace, and dignity in every corner of the world.

3. Call for an Immediate and Permanent Ceasefire and an End

to the ongoing Genocide to Allow Health Operations to

Resume: The ongoing violence is obstructing life-saving

care. A ceasefire is essential to stabilize health operations,

treat the wounded, and prevent further unnecessary loss of

life.

4. Support a Comprehensive and Immediate Embargo on

Weapons to Israel and Divestment from Israel to Stop the

Ethnic Cleansing of Civilians and Destruction of Healthcare:

The continued supply of weapons has transformed hospitals

and healthcare facilities into battlegrounds, where healthcare

workers and patients are being brutally targeted. These

weapons are not just instruments of war—they are tools of

mass devastation, driving the slaughter of civilians and the

obliteration of essential healthcare services.

5. Advocate for Unrestricted Humanitarian and Medical Access

to Gaza: Immediate delivery of essential medical supplies,

such as antibiotics, surgical tools, and trauma care resources,

must be ensured. Preventing access to healthcare is a

violation of medical ethics and humanitarian principles.

6. Establish healthcare education and training at your

institution for patient-facing staff to provide informed care to

patients affected by war crimes, crimes against humanity and

This training should include a focus on the

impacts of racism, occupation, apartheid, and settlercolonialism

on health especially in the context of Palestine.

Offering this clinical training aligns with the 6 Key

Principles of TraumaInformed Care (TIC) as outlined by

SAMHSA and the CDC, and represents a best practice in

patient care. We also emphasize that censoring voices that

speak out against this genocide is antithetical to our medical

oath. As healthcare professionals, we are committed to

saving lives and standing against injustice. Silencing those

who advocate for the end of atrocities goes against the very

principles of our profession.

The demands above are consistent with International Humanitarian

Law, U.S. Federal Law, and the four canonized Principles of

Medical Ethics. We ask you, as leaders in healthcare, to join us in

urging Congress and the Senate to take immediate action by calling

and emailing elected officials. The deliberate bombing of hospitals,

the targeting of healthcare workers, and the systematic destruction

of medical services must be stopped. Not another child should

suffer, starve, be amputated, or lose their life due to this ongoing

genocide.

Additionally, we ask for your support in bolstering the efforts of our

organizations and the medical community in Gaza and Lebanon.

The need is urgent and immense, and we cannot meet it alone. We

need your help to provide care, save lives, support medical and

nursing students, and rebuild healthcare infrastructure that has been

shattered. Supporting our efforts is not just about providing aid; it’s

about ensuring that healthcare workers can continue their sacred

mission of healing in the face of unimaginable adversity. Now is the

time to act—your leadership can make the difference.

‘Shocking Statistics’ on Gaza Receive International

Attention

 

Jan. 5, 2025 (EIRNS)—The International Movement for a JUST World, founded and run by Chandra Muzaffar in Malaysia, in their newsletter this week posted an article titled “Shocking Statistics on the 450th consecutive day of the genocide on the Gaza Strip,” by Mazin Qumsiyeh, a Palestinian scientist and author, who is the founder and director of the Palestine Museum of Natural History and the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability at Bethlehem University, where he teaches. The article is reproduced here in full:

 

Shocking Statistics

By Mazin Qumsiyeh

The Palestinian Government Media Office published an update on the most important statistics (deemed reliable even by the UN, WHO and even U.S.A.). PLEASE READ and disseminate that Israeli occupation forces (with U.S. tax money and munitions and to a lesser extent other countries) did this:

 

• Dropped 88,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip (more

than dropped on Vietnam, and four times the explosive

power of a Hiroshima-size nuclear bomb in an area of a

mere 360 sq km or 250 square mile)

• Committed 9,973 massacres (killing many people at one

time by bombing or shelling; 70% women and children)

• 56,714 killed and missing persons: 45,514 reached hospitals

(Ministry of Health recorded), 11,200 missing persons did

not reach hospitals (under rubble or bodies missing). Those

killed and documented include:

forcing unsanitary conditions including hepatitis, polio, skin

diseases, lung disorders, intestinal disorders (Ministry of Health)

+ + Data do not include deaths or debilitation from chronic disease

patients (350,000 patients such as diabetes) due to the occupation

preventing the entry of medicines or allowing operation of facilities

like kidney dialysis

• 108,189 wounded and injured arrived at hospitals including

399 journalists and media professionals), 12,650 wounded

need to travel abroad for treatment. (Ministry of Health)

• 21 displacement centers (declared “safe zones”) targeted by

the Israeli occupation (only 10% of the area of the Gaza

Strip is claimed by the Israeli occupation to be “humanitarian areas”)

• 12,125 women lost their husbands during the genocidal war.
• More than 60,000 pregnant women lack of OB/GYN healthcare (risk)

medical personnel executed in prison by torture)

• 2 million displaced people in the Gaza Strip. 110,000 tents

were worn out and became unfit for the displaced.

them). This includes

• 135 schools and universities completely and 353 schools and

universities partially destroyed (12,780 students were killed during

the war): 756 teachers and educational employees in the education

sector were killed by the occupation during the war. 148 scientists,

academics, university professors and researchers were executed by

the occupation. 785,000 students were deprived of education by the

Israeli occupation.
