Dr. Malik’s lecture asks one of the most important questions facing the healing professions today: What happens when institutions built to recognize psychological harm learn to look away from the largest concentration of psychological injury on earth?

Doctors Against Genocide invites you to join an urgent webinar This Sunday, MAY 24th, 2026 at 12PM ET

This week’s webinar brings together two urgent and deeply human conversations.

Part I: Music Against Genocide
We will be joined by Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha, founder and coordinator of Gaza Birds Singing, a musical ensemble created with displaced children and dedicated educators in Gaza.

In makeshift tents, amid drones, bombs, rubble, and destruction, children are learning to sing and play instruments together. Ahmed will share how he uses music to help his community remain strong, connected, and alive in the face of genocide.

Their music is not an escape from reality. It is a form of survival. It is a refusal to surrender beauty, dignity, and joy. It is music against genocide. Ahmed Abu Amsha is a Palestinian teacher, musician, composer, producer, researcher, poet, and father of five. Through Gaza Birds Singing, he is helping children create melodies of hope in a place where nearly everything has been taken.

Part II: The Canceled Lecture: “From Microaggression to Mass Violence: Psychological Autopsy of the Gaza Genocide.”

We will also be joined by Dr. Mansoor Malik, who was given an award by the American Psychiatric Association for work that “perfectly embodies the spirit of Dr. Chester Pierce’s legacy,” yet was not allowed to deliver his scheduled lecture.

We are honored that Doctors Against Genocide can serve as the platform for this canceled lecture.

Dr. Malik’s lecture asks one of the most important questions facing the healing professions today: What happens when institutions built to recognize psychological harm learn to look away from the largest concentration of psychological injury on earth? Dr. Malik has challenged professional silence on Gaza with clarity and courage, insisting that medicine and psychiatry cannot remain neutral in the face of mass suffering, institutional denial, and the moral injury of complicity.

Join us this Sunday as we listen to those who refuse silence, whether through music, truth-telling, medicine, psychiatry, or the voices of children singing from Gaza.

With solidarity, Doctors Against Genocide

JOIN THE ADVOCACY DAY JUNE 11th

Stand with healthcare workers and demand action to protect life, free detained medical colleagues, speak up against manufactured famine and end the silence in the face of genocide.

Help us rebuild Kamal Adwan Hospital

Together, we will launch and discuss our campaign to rebuild critical departments at Kamal Adwan Hospital. All proceeds will support the restoration of three essential services:

• Pediatrics — emergency and chronic care for children
• OBGYN — safe maternal and newborn care
• Laboratory & Radiology — diagnostic services that make treatment possible

We dedicate this effort to Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, whose steadfast commitment to healing under unimaginable conditions reflects what medicine is meant to protect.
