    I'm Norwegian and hardly see him on norwegian news. I guess speaking truth to power isn't very popular these days. Thanks for having him on!

    It is people like this doctor, and the many other nameless volunteers whose names should be recorded in history. Not the politicians and so called leaders who can only bring misery or stay on the political sidelines. If those politicians need to be remembered at all, it is so that people can learn from their abuses of power and condemn them.

    Telling the truth with honesty and courage, despite all the Israeli-American terrorism, can only come from a courageous person with a living conscience.
  • This is the best reporting on Gaza I’ve heard. Dr. Mads Gilbert is a TRUE humanitarian hero.

    He has a gold heart. I hope more people like him. God bless you Dr. Mads Gilbert. I hope American politicians act like this Doctor.
  • The most concerning fact is that our U.S. tax dollars play a role in funding these actions, over $3.8 billion to the Israeli military, we are endorsing the very actions that are causing immense harm to innocent civilians in Gaza and the west bank.

    My great uncle was a doctor in Israel, he went over there after escaping the Holocaust in Poland. He treated both Israelis and Palestinians, and was highly respected by everyone. To watch Israel commit a genocide in the name of it's people, with the unwavering help of the US, and in front of the whole world has been absolutely heartbreaking. My grandmother was also a Holocaust survivor and told me a lot about her experiences, and there are so many parallels. The brutality and dehumanization being carried out by IDF is a new Holocaust and we need to speak out against this obvious evil. Thank you Dr. Gilbert!

    People like Netanyahu shake my faith in Humanity. People like Amy and Dr. Gilbert restore it.
