Nov. 2, 2024 (EIRNS)—On Friday, Nov. 1, President of the World Surgical Foundation Dr. Mark Perlmutter stood as a witness before a New York City audience to deliver a devastating firsthand report, punctuated by raw photos of what he experienced, on the horrors of the situation in Gaza. For some of those in attendance, the accounts of a deliberate extermination of a trapped population, epitomized by the targeted killing of its children, was almost too much to bear. Perlmutter, who was originally scheduled to speak at Mount Sinai Hospital, but was driven away by cowardly accusations of anti-Semitism, charged the audience to act—to do whatever it takes to force a change in U.S. policy supporting a blatant genocide.
