UNAPOLOGETIC

“There shall be no trace of Palestinian society, culture, history because they going to be wiped out… This is I think the plan for the Zionists.”
Mads Gilbert is a Norwegian anesthesiologist and emergency medicine specialist who has made frequent trips since 1982 to Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza to help deliver urgent medical care to Palestinian victims of Israeli atrocities.
On UNAPOLOGETIC he shares his experiences, and how by providing medical services he has come to understand both Israel and the Palestinian liberation struggle against occupation and colonisation.
He is a firm advocate on the right for Palestinians to resist the occupation with arms within the confines of International law.
