A group of 100 doctors called "Doctors for the Rights of Israeli Soldiers", signed a statement stating Israel had a "legitimate right" to bomb "terror nests and Hamas headquarters in the hospitals in Gaza".{{cite news |title=Israeli doctors call for bombing of Al-Shifa, one of Gaza's last working hospitals |url=https://www.newarab.com/news/israeli-doctors-call-bombing-gazas-al-shifa-hospital |website=The New Arab |date=6 November 2023 |access-date=12 November 2023 |archive-date=12 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231112012721/https://www.newarab.com/news/israeli-doctors-call-bombing-gazas-al-shifa-hospital |url-status=live }} This prompted a harsh reply from the acting head of the ethics office at the Israel Medical Association, Dr. Tami Karni, who wrote that "doctors are sworn to heal, not kill... Israel's doctors have refused to be dragged into the consciental and moral decline of the enemy, and will continue to act accordingly". The White Robes, an organization which numbers in the hundreds, decried the letter as a "provocative pamphlet by an extremist minority", stating that "calls for indiscriminate destruction and killing, even if justified militarily, are not part of the medical ethical code". Physicians for Human Rights published an open letter signed by 350 physicians and medical personnel, which also condemns the aforementioned call.{{Cite news |last=לינדר |first=רוני |date=10 November 2023 |title=מלכודת שיפא: האתגר הכי גדול של ישראל במלחמה |work=TheMarker |url=https://www.themarker.com/weekend/2023-11-10/ty-article-magazine/.premium/0000018b-b3c0-df42-a78f-bfc33f200000 |access-date=12 November 2023 |archive-date=16 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231116012351/https://www.themarker.com/weekend/2023-11-10/ty-article-magazine/.premium/0000018b-b3c0-df42-a78f-bfc33f200000 |url-status=live }}{{Cite news |last1=ינקו |first1=אדיר |last2=אייכנר |first2=איתמר |date=6 November 2023 |title=רופאים בישראל מתווכחים: האם לגיטימי לתקוף את בית החולים שיפא בעזה? |language=he |work=Ynet |url=https://www.ynet.co.il/health/article/sydb33iqa |access-date=12 November 2023 |archive-date=12 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231112114918/https://www.ynet.co.il/health/article/sydb33iqa |url-status=live }}

They state that "[Hamas's] core commitments are fundamentally inconsistent with progressive principles", and emphasize that "there is no contradiction between staunchly opposing the Israeli subjugation and occupation of Palestinians and unequivocally condemning brutal acts of violence against innocent civilians. In fact, every consistent Leftist must hold both positions simultaneously.
