BMA SEVERS LINKS WITH ISRAEL

As a result of a series of motions (see below) to its Annual Reps Meeting last week,
adopted by large majorities, the BMA (British Medical Association (the medics’
union)) is now mandated to break off relations with the Israel Medical Association
(IMA), and to seek suspension of the IMA from the World Medical Association
(WMA).

MOTIONS:

The five pro-Palestine motions were passed with large majorities at the Liverpool
conference.

The conference is the supreme authority in the BMA, and establishes policy for the
organisation. It mandated the BMA to do the following:

© Oppose the adoption of the Palantir data platform throughout the NHS

o Affirmed that criticism of Israel is not antisemitic]

© Oppose the victimisation of medical students and healthcare workers who have
advocated for Palestine

© Condemn the destruction of healthcare services and the killing of healthcare
workers in Gaza, demand the immediate release of detained HCWs in Gaza; and
urge the UK government to support the ICC and ICJ in holding accountable those
guilty of war crimes, including Israeli doctors who have participated in or
supported torture of Palestinians in Israeli jails.

© Suspend engagement with the Israeli Medical Association until it affirms.
medical neutrality and condemns attacks on healthcare in Gaza.

The BMA said the numerous motions on Palestine reflected “the grave concerns
that doctors in the UK have about the Gaza conflict”.

A dramatic view of Bamburgh Castle sits atop grassy dunes in the distance, overlooking a sweeping sandy beach edged by jagged dark rocks and patches of green seaweed, with turquoise waves gently lapping the shore beneath a moody, cloud-filled sky.

A vibrant field of red poppies fills the foreground, their delicate petals and green stems swaying amongst tall, pale grasses, while in the distance, the imposing stone walls and towers of Bamburgh Castle rise above the dunes, framed by lush green trees beneath a pale blue sky.

NEW WORK AND NEW LOCATION: Welcome to the historical ruins of Dryburgh Abbey in the Scottish Borders.

Constructed nearly 900-years ago in the 1150s, the lives of the monks here consisted of religious services, agricultural duties, household functions, copying books and reading.

Inside the North Transept chapel of Dryburgh Abbey, the image reveals soaring ribbed stone vaults and elegant, clustered columns of weathered red sandstone, with tall lancet windows filled with diamond-patterned glass casting a gentle light across the interior; prominent gravestones and a large stone tomb rest against the walls, their inscriptions partly faded, imbuing the historic space with a reverent and timeless atmosphere.

A sweeping view across the tranquil cemetery at Dryburgh Abbey reveals the magnificent red sandstone ruins rising majestically against a brilliant blue sky dotted with white clouds; the left structure displays soaring Gothic arches and remnants of intricate stonework, whilst the right section features a stunning large pointed window with delicate tracery, and scattered throughout the verdant green grass in the foreground are weathered gravestones and ornate monuments of various sizes, all framed by mature trees that enhance the serene, historic atmosphere of this ancient Scottish abbey.

Just got back from a wee little birthday trip away! I'm 42 now. That's right, I am now the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

For my birthday we explored the Southern Uplands near Moffat, and boy were conditions glorious.

There's more photos from our time away, just go here and see what you think -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/4/27/southern-uplands-dumfriesshire-scotland-spring 👍
