A high-profile Norwegian doctor who has said the September 11 terrorists were justified in their attack is now treating patients in Gaza and is being accused of presenting "hard-core propaganda" to TV interviewers in his telling of the conflict between Hamas and Israel.
Dr. Mads Gilbert has become an unofficial advocate of the Palestinian cause, his critics say. International media reports, and FOX’s sister station Sky News, present Gilbert as an ordinary doctor. But a look at his record shows that Gilbert, 61, is a political activist and member of the Norwegian Maoist "Red" party, and he has been involved in solidarity work for the Palestinians since the 1970s. He has criticized the international aid organization Doctors Without Borders for refusing to take sides in conflicts. Gilbert volunteers at the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza with (NORWAC), an aid organization funded by the Norwegian government, and he has been interviewed by the media on a variety of issues. Israeli government officials have said Hamas hides weapons in the hospital where Gilbert works. •
. NGO Monitor, an Israeli human rights watchdog group, says Gilbert presents one-sided criticism of Israel to the media and has accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians in its Gaza offensive to stop Hamas from firing rockets into Israel. In addition to being supportive of the terrorist organization Hamas, Gilbert has voiced support for the Sept. 11, 2001.
"The attack on New York did not come as a surprise after the policy that the West has led during the last decades," Gilbert told the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet on Sept. 30, 2001. "The oppressed also have a moral right to attack the USA with any weapon they can come up with."

I’m shocked! Shocked!
Happened to catch one of the talk show guys rippin’ this butthead apart. He was playin’ excerpts of an interview with this doctor. Outrageous!
On the plus side, how would you like to receive medical care from a loony Maoist?
May he have many patients.
” In addition to being supportive of the terrorist organization Hamas, Gilbert has voiced support for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.”
He is looney, and should be sent home — or, better yet, parachuted into North Korea.
And I will pack his ‘chute for him.
Sanjay Gupta?
(Just kidding. Sort of)
I believe this is the same POS that was in the fake propaganda video that CNN was showing, and Little Green Footballs uncovered. CNN has since pulled the video but still stands behind the story. This guy is the new Green Helmet Guy and a real putz. I expect to see and hear allot more propaganda from him and the rest of the DBM.
The guy in this fox news article is the same guy from this manufactured CNN video.
