Carlyn Zwarenstein Wrote A Rebuke To An Editorial About Israel-Palestine
For Middle East Eye, Carlyn Zwarenstein wrote a rebuke of an editorial in American Journal of Public Health that discusses the public health institutions in Israel and Palestine.
Zwarenstein told Study Hall about her essay: “I’m a science and health writer (most recently writing science features for Salon)–but I always look for the intersections of these with the power dynamics and politics that determine how science and health issues actually affect people’s lives. That led to me writing a few detailed features for Salon about Israel’s devastation of public health and life in Gaza over the past 20 months with US support.”
She added, “The op-ed I’m sharing here, published in Middle East Eye, addresses the issue from an unusual angle — an attempt in a US public health journal to avoid academic boycott by whitewashing the one-sided nature of what has been done to public health in Gaza, and eliding the role that medical and public health institutions and staff have played throughout.”
Zwarenstein’s writing has appeared in Salon, The Washington Post, and other outlets.
