Alain Destexhe, former Secretary-General: “MSF is lying, MSF is partial, MSF is biased and MSF are accomplices.” 

Alain Destexhe: “Since October 7, MSF… has not made a single tweet denouncing the crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, including the abduction of over 240 Israelis … and the use of hospitals as barracks or human shields.” 

Michael Goldfarb, Doctors Without Borders USA: “European colleagues freely told me, knowing I am Jewish, that Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.”

Dr. Estrella Lasry, consultant, MSF Geneva: “the appalling lack of empathy in the organisation towards the victims in Israel” and “‘explicit request’ from an MSF office in the Middle East ‘not to speak out on behalf of victims in Israel as it would victimise the perpetrators.’” 

Introduction

This report builds on NGO Monitor’s April 2026 publication, “NGO Malpractice: MSF (Doctors Without Borders) and the Gaza ‘Genocide’ Campaign,” which demonstrates that Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, Doctors Without Borders) messaging regarding Israel is anchored in false “testimonies’” and consistently violates the principles of neutrality and medical ethics.

The evidence presented in this report reveals a widespread organizational culture dominated by antisemitism that produced a highly disproportionate obsession with and singling-out of Israel, as well as direct and repeated support for Hamas. These aspects are reflected in the Gaza “genocide” campaign; in the demonstrably false “testimonies” of MSF staffers and volunteers, such as the case of Al Ahli hospital;1 in the systematic erasure of Israeli victims and hostages; and many other examples. 

Drawing from publicly available, open-source evidence relating to current and former MSF employees and board members, this report documents MSF’s internal staff conversations and culture regarding Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the personal experiences of Jewish staff members within the organization. We present direct quotations from employees’ media interviews and posts on MSF’s internal staff forum, spanning a wide spectrum of positions. 

Summer Games Done Quick 2026 has just begun! You're likely familiar with it, but it's a video game speedrunning charity event which benefits Doctors Without Borders held every summer in Minneapolis, MN. I'm a huge fan and actually get to attend this time (not there yet lol, a little later in the week)!

You can also buy limited edition t-shirts which a part of the sales goes to Doctors Without Boarders
