Some 130 distinguished doctors in Britain Saturday called for a boycott of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) and its expulsion from the World Medical Association (WMA).

"The IMA has forfeited its right to membership of the international medical community. The Israeli Medical Association has a duty to protest about war crimes of this kind, but has refused to do so. Appeals to the World Medical Association and the British Medical Association have also been rebuffed," they said.

Calling for a boycott of the IMA, the doctors said that there had been a precedent set for its expulsion from the WMA set during the apartheid era when the Medical Association of South Africa was expelled.

"A boycott is an ethical and moral imperative when conventional channels do not function. Otherwise, we are merely turning away," they warned.
