Going back to a previous class where we reviewed the role of NGOs, IGOs, and other humanitarian aid in perpetuating and upholding the status quo in these “global conflicts” -- we now reflect on this paper never quite tying us back to the root causes of the infrastructural destruction and the vague language of “conflict & war” which is used again and again in academic and media settings. What are thoughts around this framing? How can we shift this language and the broader narrative that upholds the status quo?

What similarities can we draw between the patterns of spatial segregation of Palestinians and segregation patterns in the U.S., particularly in terms of their relationship with health inequities?
