| Lancet editor ‘deeply regrets’ publishing Gaza letter |
| 2014-10-03 |
| The editor of the British medical journal The Lancet, which ran an open letter accusing Israel of a “massacre” in Gaza, said on a visit to Israel that he will publish a retraction. Dr. Richard Horton made a statement Thursday during Grand Rounds at the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, which he visited earlier in the week. Horton reportedly said during his statement that he “deeply, deeply regrets” publishing the letter to the people of Gaza in The Lancet during this summer’s conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. Several dozen physicians from the West signed the letter, which also accused Israel of “cruel” and “vicious war crimes.” Physicians, researchers and Israeli officials decried the letter. |

| #9 The Lancet was responsible for grossly over-inflating casualty figures during the Iraqi war. For whatever reason they regularly stray into politics rather than sticking to medical issues. |

| #8 ...Translation: Lancet publishers 'deeply regret' allowing you to expose their inner bigotry and hatred which allowed the publishing to occur in the first place. |

| #6 WHAT is a scientific Medical Journal doing writing a political statement ? Is the Lancet a scientific Medical Journal OR a shill for anti-Semitic propaganda? Do they have a history of NOT doing serious Medical Journal articles aimed at a readership of practicing doctors of Medicine? And WHAT practicing Physician would read a propaganda rag in the first place? So what is the LANCET? A publisher of serious articles about Medicine or a propaganda rag ? It CAN'T be both. You can't take seriously a scientific Medical Journal publication which publishes political anti-Semitic propaganda as a medical Journal...unless you are a doctor of Ju-Ju which is the rough equivalent of poo-poo. Which leads me to assume the Lancet probably is just that: Poo-poo. |
