Only sanctions will stop this brutal campaign

The world is watching, and we are all made complicit by the failure of
our governments to end Palestinian anguish

Last Saturday, I had lunch with friends in London at a benefit for the
medical school at the Arab University in Jerusalem. At home later, I
watched the news on al-Jazeera: 12 more Palestinians killed by the
Israeli army. There were sirens. There were young men bending to kiss
the forehead of their fallen comrade while his mother sat rocking and
speechless. There was a man hurrying through twisted metal, carrying
the bleeding body of a little girl. There were women on balconies, boys
holding toddlers, old men in kaffiyes, and they all said: "Where is the
world? Where are the Arabs?"
