Enduring the unendurable
Trauma in the Gaza Strip has been examined through frameworks such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), continuous traumatic stress (CTS), complex PTSD, intergenerational trauma and allostatic load. Existing frameworks address important dimensions individually but have not sufficiently integrated them in the Gazan context. This research note proposes the framework of continuous recursive pervasive trauma (CRPT) to address these gaps. CRPT co…
Hatred as a contagious disease
Purpose This paper aims to reframe hatred as a socially contagious and biologically embedded condition with measurable health consequences. It aims to synthesize evidence across disciplines to conceptualize hatred as a public health threat and propose a framework for prevention and intervention. Design/methodology/approach This narrative review integrates evidence from psychology, neuroscience, trauma studies, epidemiology, public health and soci…
Knowledge and attitudes of medical students toward death
Arabian Gulf University medical students scored higher on complicated grief, most likely due to cultural and religious factors. Females at both institutions as well as those who indicated a higher level of religious observance reported higher scores of complicated grief. The study highlights how cultural and religious beliefs influence medical students' attitudes toward death and bereavement. It provides valuable insight into the knowledge and at…
Resilience under protracted conflict and siege
This study sought to explore the relationship between resilience as perceived within the Palestinian context, and individual, contextual, and psychosocial factors among adults living in the Gaza Strip. Secondly, this study applies the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale to the Palestinian population within the context of the challenges they are facing while living under extended sieges, in order to examine the generalizability of the resilience scal…
Exploring the Influence of Perceived Ingroup and Outgroup Threat on Quality of Life in a Region Impacted by Protracted Conflict
While the detrimental effects of protracted political conflict on the wellbeing of Palestinians living in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) are generally recognized, the impact of perceived threat on quality of life (QoL) faced from within their community (ingroup; Palestinians) and from the outgroup (Israelis) is unexplored. This cross-sectional study examined the following: (1) The status of perceptions of QoL on four domains measured by…

Occupation, settlement, and the social determinants of health for West Bank Palestinians
A contentious issue in the Israel-Palestine conflict is the ongoing construction of settlements in the occupied West Bank along with its related policies, both of which have had impacts on the lives of resident Palestinians. These impacts have been documented by various UN and non-governmental agencies yet have been insufficiently studied in the academic literature. This article aims to review the literature on the social determinants of health f…
Positivity Ratio Links Self-control Skills to Physical Aggression and Happiness in Young Palestinians Living in Gaza
The study examined a potential underlying mechanism through which self-control skills (SCSs) may predict more happiness on the one hand and less hostility, anger and peer aggression on the other hand in an understudied sample of 744 Palestinian youngsters (Grades 8–12) from the Gaza Strip, a military conflict area. The hypothesized model was confirmed: self-reported SCS linked with happiness through positivity ratio as a mediator; SCS linked with…
The Palestinian–Israeli conflict
Fourth of June 2017 marks a half century of the Six Day War, three decades post the first Intifada, seven decades post the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe), the 70th anniversary of Israeli Independence, and one century post the Balfour Declaration. Both Palestinians and Israelis remain occupied. Five million Palestinians remain sick with hopelessness and despair rendered by years of subjugation. Israelis are stuck, occupied by their historical nar…
