Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Right to be Treated what Ethical Questions?

Abstract

Decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict have significantly affected the socio economic situation of local people. This paper follows a socioanthropological approach to analyse the health care available for Palestinians. It is argued that different factors have caused a significant deterioration of the health services and, paradoxically, a terrorist could now receive a better treatment than a civilian.

Key words: IsraeliPalestinian conflict - Arab societies - Human rights
