1. Doctors and scientists
Jerome ,   AKL   (07.29.14)
Incapable of reaching the level of Josh Meyer, an 18 years old boy wearing a kippa ( skullcap). He found how to age cancer cells, not the so called scientists.
2. The Lancet's editor is anti-Israel
manny ,   canada   (07.29.14)
Stop calling The Lancet a "world leading medical journal". Its editor has repeatedly abused his authority by publishing anti-Israel "scientific" papers with no factual basis.
3. they are Europeans so who cares
k ,   US   (07.29.14)
Europeans opinion on this conflict is meaningless if they are against the Israelis, intact if a European is coming out against the Israelis it is proof the Israelis are in the moral right
4. They have all signed the Hypocritical Oath...
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (07.29.14)
I don't recall them signing a letter about the massive atrocities being carried out in Syria, or any other country. As usual, their problem is not the terrible loss of life in the conflict but the fact that Jews dare to fight back.
5. 24 , thats a really big number???
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (07.29.14)
6. when they write a letter about Iraq Syria Afghanistan Libyai
(07.29.14)
Then we can take this blatant political communique which repeats palestinian propaganda and rhetoric full of incorrect analysis then we can take it seriously. Trying to conduct a political campaign under the guise of medical veneer is not worthy of the medical profession. And they should write an open letter to Hamas too in the lancet describing firing rockets on civilian towns indiscriminately.
7. Lancet
D Rund ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.29.14)
Kol Hakavod for the quick response by the Israeli medical establishment. I think every doctor in Israel will sign condemning this travesty of the use of an esteemed medical journal for political purposes.
8. I bet you can find Thousands of Doctors
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (07.29.14)
in the U.S. and top specialists as well that would condemn these Doctors as well as Hamas
9. Phrase..
Adler Smith   (07.29.14)
"Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue"...
10. Come for a visit!
Eliana Prager ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.30.14)
Israel should invite this "brave" doctors for a week of fun in Nahal Oz, or even Gaza! I am sure they would be smarter very quickly!
11. Antisemitic and Anti-Israel Letter in Lancet
Eli ,   Israel   (07.30.14)
A letter has been sent by physicians in Israel answering the libelous statements in the letter. It is doubtful that the Lancet will publish it.
12. The viral progrom on Israel!
tiki ,   belgium   (07.30.14)
The attacker gets hammered and the world goes berserk with frustration! Just imagine (G-d forbid) if the roles would have been different and Israel would have had thousands of dead because of terrorist rocket attacks! Would the world go berserk? Would there by hysterical protests world wide? Would there be a UN-HRC condemnation? Would there be a world condemnation? Would there be the cry for 'legal consequences? Would there be the question of 'proportionality? Probably not! Probably the corks of the champagne bottles in the mansions of the 'Gutmenschen will pop and the Arab bakeries will have to work overtime. Well, it's good that we don't have to put it to the test to find out! Better be strong & hated than poor & loved! As long as the "enemy" is called Israel, the world will be united in organized rage....without doubt, without asking questions, for they know who is guilty, always...it's the JEW!! The other victims of war? Victims? What victims!
13. THIS IS WAR and in case these dr's have not been informed,
miri ,   israel   (07.30.14)
people do get killed and maimed ! In any case, they should make the trip here and sit it out in Sderot where the "boom booms" are an everyday part of life.
14. Shocked
Dr Elliot Daniel ,   London   (07.30.14)
I am shocked that the writers of this article only managed to get 24 Israel haters to sign their ridiculous one-sided biased and awful article. Could it be that Europeans aren't so bad after all? This really is ridiculous attention seeking behaviour by 24 misguided individuals. Please ignor and move on!
15. Doctors condemn Israeli crime against humanity
Naomi Berger ,   Rancho Mirage,CA   (07.31.14)
Organized by Jewish doctors from Canada, within 24 hours of the online publication ,a letter was sent to the Lancet rebuffing the article. 1600 Doctors signed the letter.. After first being refused online publication, they sent another letter objecting,and the Lancet finally printed their response.
16. Physcian letters
Joe johns ,   Palo Alto pa. USA   (07.31.14)
Thank you gentleman for speaking up. The Israeli daemon machine will attempt to ruin you, but the truth will prevail. I really wish a psychiatric evaluation would be made of the Israeli people. They are poor damaged people from the halocost.
17. "poor damaged people from the halocost{sic}.
caleb ,   israel   (08.01.14)
since most of the world was complicit in the holocaust you are part of the problem not the solution.
18. Mud-slimed spin-doctors?
Joe ,   Paris   (08.01.14)
No doubt!
19. JOE JOHNS, PALO ALTO pa
Gaye K. ,   New York usa   (08.02.14)
Dear Joe Johns, Has it ever occurred to you that inbreeding in your family has destroyed your mind? K. G.
20. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (08.01.14)
The letter is the right document to post because of the crimes committed by Israel. What do you expect good peaceful people write.
21. accusation of gazan physicians
malka black ,   jersalem, israel   (08.14.14)
You would think that these physcians would have more sense than to accuse Israel of cruelty to citizens living in the gazan territories. Disgusting I deduced these uniformed or prejudiced doctors who think Israel was attacking citizens and killing them.Read and form better opinions Doctors of Gaza.
22. 200,000 dead Syrians don't deserve a mention?
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (08.25.14)
Oh, is it that Israel ISN'T involved? Such hypocrisy. Lancet is an anti semitic rag. G-D BLESS ISRAEL !!!!! If Gaza were fighting any one but Israel she'd have 400,000 or more dead pals.
23. # 19 My point exactly...
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (08.25.14)
What mind?
24. # 20 Hes baaaaack
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (08.25.14)
This dummy, Harold, was the one who claimed to have read the Bible and Genesis 12:3 escaped his knowledge. When G-d says to Abraham, "He who blesses you I will bless he who curses you I will curse." Personally, I wish that if ISrael does have the A bomb she drop in on Gaza now. As for Harold, I'd be happy to show him the way out.. which way did he slither in? Damn, Harold you are dumber than an Egyptian brick. Dumb de dumb dumb.
