Jewish American Heritage Month

Doctors fear the British Medical Associations annual meeting is becoming a vehicle for Jew hatred as union factions called for action against Israel.

Leaders from the Jewish medical community raised concerns about the hostile atmosphere at the unions conference hours before a woman was heckled on stage for saying she was a practising Jew.

Around 30, or one in 10 motions, which are policy proposals that doctors vote on and the union adopts if passed, had to be removed from debates on legal grounds because they related to the Israel and Palestine conflict, and risked being perceived as discriminatory, more specifically, anti-Semitic.

The words Israel or Israeli appeared 75 times in motions put forward by factions across the country to be debated at the meeting, which is hosted to discuss union policy and doctor and patient rights.

The unions London regional council submitted four identical calls for the BMA to boycott Israeli medical journals, conferences, and academic and commercial exchanges, claiming Israel is breaching human rights.

It proposed the BMA lobby the Government to stop supplying weapons to Israel and repeated accusations of the country committing systematic apartheid.

It said that Israels acts in Gaza could amount to genocide and Israel continues to occupy and oppress the Palestinian people and to use disproportionate and indiscriminate force against civilians.

Other regional divisions proposed funding and supplying medical supplies, humanitarian aid, training for doctors on both sides of the conflict, and an end to military aid to Israel.

The Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan vision asked the BMA to lobby the UK Government to recognise that there is no military solution to the conflicts in Palestine and call for the undoing of all illegal settler occupations in Palestine.
