Abstract
In this paper, we seek to contextualize amputations sustained by Palestinians during the Great March of Return within a framework of settler-colonial ideology and practice. Utilizing case studies identified in our advocacy work at Physicians for Human Rights Israel, we evaluate the conditions in which these amputations occurred and their relationship to the politicized Palestinian body, land, and nation. Through evaluating themes of intentionality and subjugation, the politicized Palestinian body, and reflections on the challenges of navigating human rights and humanitarian possibilities, we reflect on our work and the ability to advocate for health justice in inherently violent and eliminatory bureaucratic and legal systems. We conclude with a discussion on the utility of a human rights approach that is divorced from a structural and historical analysis of the dire situation on the ground.
期刊介绍：
Health and Human Rights began publication in 1994 under the editorship of Jonathan Mann, who was succeeded in 1997 by Sofia Gruskin. Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners In Health, assumed the editorship in 2007. After more than a decade as a leading forum of debate on global health and rights concerns, Health and Human Rights made a significant new transition to an online, open access publication with Volume 10, Issue Number 1, in the summer of 2008. While continuing the journal’s print-only tradition of critical scholarship, Health and Human Rights, now available as both print and online text, provides an inclusive forum for action-oriented dialogue among human rights practitioners.
