1. Any word about Gilad Shalit, Doctors, or since he is Jewish
Amihai ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.23.09)
he may be kept in captivity without you, Doctors, sending even one physician to visit with him, for three full years???!!!
2. Physicians for Human Rights-Israel
D ,   Israel   (06.23.09)
I agree with Amihai. Where are groups like PHR-Israel when it comes to Gilad Shalit?
3. thos r the docs the palis didn't killed yet.

4. not a news item
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.23.09)
"The signatories...assert that Dr. Blachar...has failed to respond to the allegation that some Israeli doctors condone or collaborate with a regime that uses torture against detainees" Dr. Blachar also failed to respond to allegations that Jews are greedy and drink Christian blood. As they say in Hebrew "prove that you don't have a sister"
5. ONGs
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (06.23.09)
ONGs are so politicized and biased that they should be banned and not given this class of free propaganda. You believe somebody really cares about what they say?
6. Demand Gilad Shalit's return, or at least good health, 1st
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (06.23.09)
7. Better to dismiss these 700 "doctors" instead of the Jew
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (06.23.09)
If this doctor would be arab-israeli, I guess he would not be dismissed so... do they dismiss the israeli or the Jew in him ? as we say in english : Fish Off !
8. The pot calling the kettle black!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.23.09)
Dr. Alan Meyers, Jewish or not Jewish, should clean up the shit that is on his own doorstep! Has he never heard of Abu Ghraib and Gitmo where I am sure many American doctors knew what was going on to Iraqi detainees! I am sure many so called coalition doctors in Afghanistan and UK doctors in Iraq have been involved in the "interrogation" of prisons! Once again, this has nothing to do with ethics but everything to do with anti-Semtism and kissing the butts of the Arabs!
9. The adage 'See you in court.' surely applies here.
Ypip ,   Canada   (06.23.09)
10. To all doctors, counter petition here.
David ,   Jerusalem   (06.23.09)
http://www.petition.fm/petitions/ima The above link is for doctors alone. If you are not a doctor, but know someone who is, there is a letter from the IMA, which explains in detail the accusations and responds to them in full. It is more than 4000 words so I can't post it below. Please email me for a forward of it in pdf form. THERE ALREADY EXIST MORE COUNTER-PROTESTOR SIGNATURES THAN THE ORIGINAL. BUT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. WE NEED AN OVERWHEALMING RESPONSE TO THIS ANTI-SEMITIC ATTACK. David. david.from.jerusalem@gmail.com
11. totally agree
jj   (06.23.09)
this "doctor" and his cohorts have made a perverse inversion of the hippocratic oath (and all variations upon this subsequently) in which they oversee and facilitate the torture of human beings. keeping them "healthy enough" to survive and prolong the torture. they are cold and calculating men who make a mockery of the profession of care-givers everywhere. your cries of "anti-semitism" to try and shame the world and silence criticism will not work this time. you cant just keep using the same words to excuse every evil act you do.
12. Doctors?
Bruria ,   Haifa   (06.23.09)
What about all the Israeli boys whose families only learned of their deaths when they were sent back in boxes--and the ones still out there? Where were they for Ron Arad, Gilad Shalit?? Phony hypocrites.
13. #11 with what?
(06.23.09)
#11, what do you agree with? The unfounded allegations that something may or may not have happened? Or that Jews should be kicked out of any public function because they are Jews?
14. to #12 these doctors didn't got their diploma yet
ghostq   (06.23.09)
when Ron Arad was captured, as for Shalit he you right. Hamas don't even let the red cross to take care of Gilad, noone knows if he still alive.
15. Two faced doctors, what a bunch of phonies
JPS ,   Efrat   (06.23.09)
I'll bet that these two phonies have never in their lives called for any other doctor to resign. This is in spite of the fact that America has officially used torture. Did Meyers call on the Surgeon General to resign because he worked for George Bush, who instituted torture as an official American policy? Did Summerfield ever call on any non-Jew to be accountable for other people's sins? Highly doubt it. What a bunch of racist troublemakers.
16. Who do the doctors at the WMA want in charge
Debbie ,   Toronto   (06.23.09)
a nice gentle hamas doctor or perhaps the mad jihads doctor, or maybe dr meyers has a case of the green eyed monster. Will these so called doctors stop writing scripts for medicine developed in Israel?? If they do then they might as well go back to throwing the bones and peddling some witch doctor brews Bunch of hypocrites
17. Change the name of the organisation to
Debbie ,   Toronto   (06.23.09)
DOCTORS WITHOUT SCRUPLES.
18. Stop whining
freeman ,   USA   (06.23.09)
The WMA has a point. Stop whining and distracting from the issue. Your red herring arguments are typical of insane ideologues.
19. if you don't like the whining here #18, do not read
slaveman ,   USA   (06.23.09)
you have plenty of whining websites in the US to send your complaints to but you prefer to come to an Israel website 5000 miles away and post your whinings. This a website for Jews in Israel to whine as much as they like, and it is none of business how much they do it, or about what. Do you also post on Arb/Muslim whining websites and admonish them as well?
20. A few hundred whining signatories out of 9 million members?
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (06.23.09)
they must be professional whiners that subscribe to anything put under their noses Most of the hundreds must be Muslims and mainly Arbs, but put at the top a token Jew to hide the real agenda Oops!............I wrote the sentence above even before I read the last paragraph
21. Dr. Meyers
Alison ,   New York, USA   (06.23.09)
If anyone should want to email Dr. Meyers, his email address is afmeyers@bu.edu. Let's tell him what we think!
22. #13
jj   (06.23.09)
unfounded allegations? israel has publicly admitted its use of torture since about 1988.although restrictions were placed on it at the turn of the millenium, it hasnt ceased.this is information in the public domain and is not disputed. and cling to your paranoid vista of a persecution all you want, it shields you from the cold facts. "doctors" like this should never be allowed to practice medicine once their hands are dirty with this filthy practice.
23. #22..j j.... YOU ARE PARANOID OF JEWISH DOCTORS !
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (06.24.09)
#22.j..j..jj ....... IS VERY PARANOID.... HE THINKS THAT JEWISH DOCTORS ARE OUT TO GET HIM. HE SHOULD ONLY BE SO LUCKY THAT JEWISH DOCTORS OR ISRAELI DOCTORS ARE AFTER HIM. " jj" COULD POSSIBLY BE CURED OF HIS "ILLNESS" OF PARANOIA OR WHATEVER ELSE " jj" HAS, IF ONLY HE COULD GET TO SEE AN ISRAELI DOCTOR. THESE "jj" "TYPES" ONLY SEEM TO CRITICISE JEWS OR ISRAEL AND DON'T GO AFTER THE REAL CRIMINALS ......... WONDER WHY ? YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A FRAUD !! NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN EQUAL "jj" IN DELUSIONAL SELF-DECEPTION AND SELF-INFLICTED PERPETUATING PARANOIA . YOU BETTER LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU "jj " !! THERE ARE MORE ISRAELI JEWISH DOCTORS LURKING IN THE DARK SHADOWS OF YOUR MIND.
24. DOCTORS WITHOUT ETHICS,- BUT LOTS OF ENVY !
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (06.24.09)
Dr. Derek Summerfield AND DR. MEYERS HAVE FORMED AN UNCOMMON BOND WITH EACH OTHER. DOCTORS ARE BOUND BY HIPPOCRATIC OATH TO TREAT THEIR PATIENTS WITH RESPECT AND HUMANITY. THE DOCTORS THEMSELVES MUST TREAT EACH OTHER WITH THIS SAME RESPECT AND MORALS. Dr. Derek Summerfield HAS LONG GIVEN UP HIS DOCTORS HIPPOCRATIC OATH AND HIS ETHICS AND MORALITY ARE LONG GONE. DR. SUMMERFIELD'S IS ADVANCING HIS OWN EVIL AND MALIGNANT AGENDA AGAINST ISRAELI DOCTORS AND THIS IS IN ITSELF VERY UN-HEALTHY. SUMMERFIELD HAS GIVEN UP HIS SOUL BECAUSE OF ENVY AND LUST, TO TRY TO CATAPULT HIMSELF IN TO THE HIGHER POSITIONS IN THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY. BUT, THE ISREALI DOCTOR Yoram Blachar IS IN HIS WAY........ DR. SUMMERFIELD HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE ARAB DOCTORS HATEFUL FEELINGS TOWARDS ISRAEL AND EAGERLY BECAME THEIR MOUTHPIECE. THIS COULD NOW BE SUMMERFIELDS' CHANCE FOR ADVANCEMENT. AS FOR DR. MEYERS, HE MUST FIGHT HIS OWN SELF-DEPRECATING AND GUILTY DEMONS, AND MUST ABANDON HIS UNHOLY AND UNHEALTHY BOND WITH DR. SUMMERFIELD. THE EVIL ACCUSATIONS RENDERED BY DR. SUMMERFIELD WERE VERY CONVINCING ENOUGH FOR A NAIIVE DR. MEYERS TO JOIN IN. DR. MEYERS AND SUMMERFIELD ARE LOOSE CANNONS AND BOTH OF THESE DOCTORS ARE IN A VERY UNETHICAL AND VERY UN-NATURAL FREINDSHIP. WHO SAYS ALL DOCTORS ARE NORMAL ?
