It’s time for medical colleges to speak up against genocide!
Gather with us outside the Australian College of Anaesthetist’s annual conference to protest the platforming of Carolyn Weinger, a zionist anaesthesiologist and gynaecologist.
Israel has indiscriminately slaughtered medical professionals and patients, purposefully destroyed over 26 medical facilities and continues to blockade medical supplies. Gazans are undergoing procedures – from caesarean sections to amputations – without anaesthesia.
Professor Weiniger has publicly shared posts on her X page that include anti-Palestinian racism, objecting to a ceasefire, justification for Israel’s bombing of Gaza’s hospitals, suggestions that the provision of humanitarian aid for civilians should be conditional and denying that there is a lack of anaesthesia in Gaza. She has even objected to a ceasefire.
While ANZCA is aware of her beliefs, they have decided to platform her. The college is complicit in normalising relations with countries and individuals who commit and/or endorse genocide. This is symbolic of Australian medical institutions’ silence in the face of Israel’s war crimes. It cannot continue.
Join us for a community picket to make our voices heard!
