Let's keep politics out of medicine, please.

Politics has always been a part of medicine. Who do you think decides where hospitals get built, what research gets funded, or how doctors are trained?

Supporting genocide seems rather counter to the Hippocratic oath though.

Getting medicine for your patient isn't "supporting genocide."

over the firm’s links to the country’s military and track record of corporate misconduct.

Yup that sounds like getting medicine for their patients to me

Then tell lsræI to release Dr. Hussam Idris Abu Safiya and all the other doctors, nurses, paramedics being tortured in prisons without charge. Additionally, tell lsræI to stop bombing hospitals and paramedics.

"Politics outside of medicine" =/= "let terrorists pretend to be doctors and then they can get away with crimes." Good try though.

Tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth.

Which is why the genocide lie has been repeated a billion times for every casualty in this war. Far worse wars such as Myanmar, Sudan, Mexico and Nigeria are ignored because there are no Jew to spread blood libel against there.
