Health in the occupied Palestinian territory

摘要

The use of the word "eternal" in the title of Richard Horton's piece "Occupied Palestine, an eternal alliance for health" (March 30, p 1084) is apt. It fits with his evangelical intentions "to put science in the service of social justice and self-determination." However, Horton omits important data, leading to the spurious conclusion that President Obama, by disappointing the Palestinians, is failing to deliver peace orjusticetothem.
