NGO Monitor calls for The Lancets Open Letter for the People of Gaza to be removed from its website immediately and for Editor Richard Horton to issue a formal retraction and apology, both on the website and the next hard copy issue.
Gerald Steinberg claims that while some mistakes can be corrected, some crimes can be forgiven, and some apologies can be accepted, the damage from the Lancets chronic and hate-filled political warfare is irreversible.
Yitzhak Santis warns that if the Lancets Editor-in-Chief, Richard Horton, continues defending the promoters of vile antisemitic conspiracy theories, the medical journal will leave a legacy associated with bigotry of the worst kind.
