Overview

• The group Doctors Against Genocide (DAG), formed in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza, has cancelled a planned gathering at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., following widespread criticism.
• DAG had initially planned to meet at the museum, followed by a gathering outside the White House, but faced backlash from various organizations including the American advocacy organization StopAntisemitism.org.
• The Holocaust Museum issued a statement denouncing the planned event, stating it would be deeply offensive to survivors and to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
• DAG has stated that the event was not intended as a protest, but as a show of empathy for victims of the Holocaust and to bring awareness to the violence in Gaza.
• DAG's recent social media posts suggest that they will be planning other protests in the future.
