A group of US doctors have cancelled a planned “Genocide in Gaza” protest at the US Holocaust Museum after critics on social media called the would-be demonstration ‘offensive’.

The group called Doctors Against Genocide, which calls itself “a global health coalition committed to stopping genocide”, was recently formed in response to Israel’s operation in Gaza, following the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7.

They had planned to protest outside the museum in Washington DC on December 28 at 11am followed by a 3pm gathering outside the White House.

The announcement urged attendees to get free tickets to the museum. “Don’t ring in 2024 with an ongoing genocide,” they said. “Action is open to all. We encourage healthcare workers to wear white coats/uniforms.”
