Lancet medical journal under attack for 'extremist hate propaganda' over its coverage of the Israeli [View all]

The Lancet and its editor, Richard Horton, have been targeted over what the group claims is the “grossly irresponsible misuse of (the journal) for political purposes”. The controversy was sparked by an article deemed to be critical of Israel’s conduct in Gaza.

The protesting doctors, including five Nobel laureates as well as Lord Winston, the broadcaster and IVF pioneer, style themselves “concerned academics”, and accuse the journal of publishing “stereotypical extremist hate propaganda”. They also accuse the journal’s owner, the publishing firm Reed Elsevier, of “profiting from the publication of dishonest and malicious material that incites hatred and violence”.

Lancet medical journal under attack for 'extremist hate propaganda' over its coverage of the Israeli [View all] shira Apr 2015 OP

If you call out the Israeli's for their treatment of Palistinians it's "extremist hate propaganda"? Scuba Apr 2015 #1

No. The Lancet lied in order to slander Israel. That's hate incitement. n/t shira Apr 2015 #2

What did they publish that was a lie? Scuba Apr 2015 #3

The final straw was an open letter last September... shira Apr 2015 #7

Your link goes to another of your own posts. I chased a couple links but none led to ... Scuba Apr 2015 #12

Why don't you post a link to the Lancet's lies? Scuba Apr 2015 #25

She can't. If they existed she would have done it already. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2015 #43

More in #57 and #62 below. n/t shira Apr 2015 #63

So you still haven't linked to any lies but instead posted "justifications" for war crimes. Scuba Apr 2015 #68

The hell I didn't. How many lies do u need to see? n/t shira Apr 2015 #74

What lie? All you've linked to is whining about being exposed. Scuba Apr 2015 #76

Here's a super big, BLATANT lie for starters that's undeniable. shira Apr 2015 #79

You've still shown no lie about what Israel is doing/has done to the Palistinians. Your "big lie" Scuba Apr 2015 #80

Hmm. Couldn't even acknowledge a blatant lie about their conflict of interest... shira Apr 2015 #81

The purpose of The Lancet, New England Journal etc, is to discuss still_one Apr 2015 #28

Oh the horrors... R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2015 #42

There is a reason for that. The same reason that at Cern scientists from all over the world meet still_one Apr 2015 #48
