Welcome to Current Affairs. My name is Nathan Robinson. I'm the editor in Chief of Current Affairs Magazine.

I am joined today by Dr. Faroese Sidwa. He is a trauma and general surgeon at San Joaquin General Hospital.

He's also the lead organizer of the Gaza healthcare letters available at

Gaza healthcare letters.org from healthcare professionals who have worked in Gaza and he was the

author of recent New York Times op-ed 65 doctors, nurses and par, and paramedics, what we saw in Gaza.

Dr. Sidwell, worked in Gaza himself earlier this year and has written a number of accounts

explaining what he saw there. Dr. Sidder, thank you for joining us on current affairs today.

Thanks for having me.

I want to just read a little bit from your latest Gaza letter,

which was co-signed by 99 American physicians and nurses.

And you say in that, we are 99 American physicians and nurses

who have witnessed crimes beyond comprehension,

crimes that we cannot believe you wish to continue supporting.

This is addressed to the Biden-Harris administration.

Please meet with us to discuss what we saw and why we feel American policy in the Middle East must change immediately.

President Biden and Vice President Harris,

we wish you could see the nightmares that plague so many of us since we've returned.

Dreams of children maimed and mutilated by our weapons.

They're inconsolable mothers begging us to save them.

We wish you could hear the cries and screams.

Our conscience is will not let us forget.

We cannot fathom why you continue arming the country that's deliberately killing these children on mass.

...
