Support our work: The Israel military raid on Al-Shifa, the largest hospital in Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians are sheltering, is an “unprecedented attack on civilian society“ in the “darkest time in modern history,“ that is being justified in the West by “a deep-rooted and frightening racism,“ says Dr. Mads Gilbert, who worked at Al-Shifa. “You don't do these things to people you consider equal.“ Dr. Gilbert is a Norwegian physician who just spent weeks in Cairo trying to enter Gaza to help his colleagues and has worked extensively in Palestine since 1981. “The civilian population of Gaza [have] done nothing wrong other than being born Palestinians in Gaza,“ he says. “Israeli impunity has reached a new level, and we are all sinking into that abyss of disregard for human life.” Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
