Professor i medisinsk historie. Opptatt av sosial rettferdighet og forholdet mellom vitenskap og politikk. Elsker Lofoten, Berlin og Santiago de Cuba

Joined July 2009
Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.

In connection with the publication of our face mask-trial today, BMJ invited us to write an opinion piece. We chose to criticize the academic discourse around face masks. It was therapeutic for me to write this, if nothing else! bmj.com/content/386/bmj.q166…

Devastating read in @politico by two US surgeons who saw unspeakable horrors in a Gaza hospital. While there are many deeply disturbing details, the number of children they saw with gunshot wounds to the heads stands out. “They’d go on to slowly die, only to be replaced…

Abu Abdullah looked after me when I was at Al Ahli hospital. Yesturday he received the body of his grandchild brought in after an airraid.
بينهم حفيده.. "أبو عبد الله" يعمل في مستشفى المعمداني بغزة ولم يعد لمنزله منذ شهور فوجئ بوصول أفراد من عائلته شهداء.

Gaza: Skoler og universiteteter er ødelagt, det er umulig å studere der, palestinere vil trenge leger i mange år, all støtte hjelper. UDI:

With Israel having destroyed so much of Gaza's healthcare system, interrupting vaccinations and other medical care, it is hardly surprising that the poliovirus has been found in sewage samples, putting thousands living in crowded displaced camps at risk. theguardian.com/world/articl…

Knowing there was a shortage of article reviewers during and after 2020, I decided to say yes to every article review request I felt qualified to do. I've now reviewed nearly a dozen and have some random insights to share, mostly for grad students and early career folks.

Well argued position paper: «puberty delaying medications to adolescents with gender dysphoria is not experimental, or at least not any more experimental than standard pediatric practice when there are no licensed treatment options” tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Important question - anybody?
The Cass review gathered views from trans gender youth about why access to puberty blockers is important👍. The general response: to delay/avoid bodily changes. Still, this (primary, patient important) outcome isn’t included in syst. rev’s (that I’ve seen). What am I missing?

Norway will recognize Palestine as a State. A two-state solution is the only viable pathway to peace for both Israel and Palestine. At this critical juncture, our recognition comes in support of the work towards a comprehensive plan for regional peace.

Lærere går rundt og er engstelige for å bli filmet og hengt ut – spesielt når de underviser om rasisme eller andre temaer som vekker sterke følelser. En uthenging på en stor instagramkonto utløste denne kronikken. Anbefales aftenposten.no/meninger/kron…

It should never have been done in the first place, but at least it’s now over. So sad they did this to you, Ghassan.
🎯TRAVEL BAN OVERTURNED 🎯 After weeks of difficulties, Professor @GhassanAbuSitt1 has won a huge victory as lawyer Alexander Gorski, ICJP lawyers and @ELSClegal succeeded in challenging Germany's Schengen-wide travel ban on the war surgeon. After returning from working in Gaza hospitals, and as a witness to war crimes, Professor Ghassan faced hostile press and eventually a travel ban by German authorities. He was deprived of his freedom of expression and freedom to travel when he was refused entry to France, Netherlands and Germany as he tried to spread the word about the war crimes he witnessed. Now, with the ban overturned, Ghassan should be able to travel freely around the Schengen area once again.

I am at Charles De Gaule airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today. They say the Germans put a 1 year ban on my entry to Europe.
