When Leonard Rubenstein saw the news on Monday that International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan is seeking arrest warrants for Hamas and Israeli leaders for alleged war crimes, he was struck by what he considered to be a glaring oversight: The charges made no mention of the well-documented, devastating Israeli military attacks against Palestinian health workers and facilities. “It’s been so devastating in Gaza,” Rubenstein told Mother Jones, “and it’s never been the subject of a specific international prosecution.” As founder of Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition, Rubenstein has brought together more than 40 organizations to raise awareness about attacks on health care in conflict zones and increase the documentation and accountability of those attacks.
