Today is 元宵节, the last day of Lunar New Year celebrations, also known as the Lantern Festival. I spent the past two weeks visiting family in China, including my family's hometown where generations have lived and have an ongoing relationship with the land.

Wow. Witnessing Palestinians walking and returning to what remains of their homes in northern Gaza, is the beginning of the undoing of the structure and process of the ongoing Nakba. May all Palestinians get their right to return and liberation from Zionist occupation.

I learned more about life and humanity while in Gaza than I have throughout medical training or throughout my life thus far. The healthcare system in Gaza has been destroyed. It now needs to be rebuilt. Via @splinternews.bsky.social www.splinter.com/israels-atta...

I just watched a clip of CBC News with the anchor openly and shamelessly say “We cannot use that word to describe what is happening” in response to genocide being used to describe what has happened in Gaza. The anchor instead describes the devastation as “whatever it is called”.

Gaza has taught the world that decolonization is not just a metaphor. To resist colonization and colonial erasure is to struggle for self-determination and liberation from oppression. It is rooted in a deep love for their people and land, for life and dignity. Gaza teaches life.

In many more words, essentially decolonization is not just language to use for making ‘global health’ more palatable. Decolonization is not just a metaphor. It means liberation and self-determination. Long live the resistance. Long live Palestine. 🔻🇵🇸

My friend and colleague Dr. Adel El Sharkawy who is a paediatrician shared these beautiful and true words. “Gaza and Gaza medics redefined the moral and ethics of medicine. I hope medical oath will be Gaza oath, no more Hippocrates. We will teach our children to be like Gazan.”

Two research articles I contributed to were published in the International Journal of Circumpolar Health this week. These articles draw attention to systemic health and social inequities rooted in colonialism affecting Inuit families from Nunavut.

The Palestinian people in Gaza deserve to celebrate. The Palestinian people in Gaza deserve everything from the world. We owe them everything. Those of us outside of Palestine must continue organizing and demanding an end to Israeli apartheid and occupation. Towards liberation.

The Palestinian people of Gaza have been through the unimaginable from Israeli genocidal colonial violence - a ceasefire will not end the genocide because all the conditions of life have been destroyed. Humanitarian aid must enter unrestricted. End the occupation. Liberation.

Doctors and healthcare workers who stand in solidarity with Palestine and the Palestinian right to self-determination and liberation, are in support of humanity and life. Doctors and healthcare workers who stand in solidarity with Israel and Zionism, are in support of genocide.

Thank you for sharing my story, and for bringing attention to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Palestine. It is a moral obligation and duty for all people, especially doctors and healthcare workers, to speak up and demand an end to genocide and apartheid. sampan.org/2025/frontpa...
