[Judy Robbins]

An interview (Laura Flanders of FAIR and GritTV with Dr. Mads  
Gilbert) well worth watching at the following link

Dr. Mads Gilbert has worked and practiced medicine in Gaza for more  
than thirty years. One of the few western observers on the ground  
during Israel’s January bombardment, Gilbert's testimony during the  
offensive was a critical source of information.



On January 3, after an Israeli strike on a Gaza vegetable market,  
Gilbert sent a text message to his Norwegian and International contacts:

“From doctor Mads Gilbert in Gaza: Thanks for your support,” it read.  
“They bombed the central vegetable market in Gaza city two hours ago.  
80 injured, 20 killed. All came here to Shifa. Hades! We wade in  
death, blood and amputees. Many children. Pregnant woman. I have  
never experienced anything this horrible. Now we hear tanks. Tell it,  
pass it on, shout it. Anything. DO SOMETHING! DO MORE! We're living  
in the history books now, all of us!”



We spoke with Gilbert recently as he embarked on a speaking tour in  
the United States.
