The effect of long term oppression on mental health, and the Palestinian spirit of “sumud” ft. Dr. Amel Eid
Imagine you live under an oppressive system of occupation, and are constantly faced with threats of displacement while hearing the sound of military drones pretty much 24/7. That’s the reality for many Palestinians. Such trauma is also passed down through generations…
In this episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Amel Eid. Dr. Amel Eid is a Palestinian-Algerian psychologist/therapist and has worked with diverse communities, including illegal immigrants in Algeria and Palestinian refugees. Amel shares with us how long term oppression, forced displacement, and the ongoing gen0cide affect the mental state of Palestinians. In addition, Amel also points out how Western understanding of Psychology and its double standards fail to address the situation for Palestinians.
Recently, Dr. Amel Eid published alongside Dr. Ilan Pappé, journalist Gideon Levy, Dr. Alan Brossat, and more on the current situation in Gaza.

Amel also touches on how sensational headlines and dehumanization of Palestinians in mainstream media affect people’s perception of Palestinians.
Towards the end, Amel shares with us the Palestinian Arabic word, sumud, and its beautiful, powerful meaning. Let’s hear from Dr. Amel Eid.
Here’s the link to the article we mentioned in the interview, which was published by Dr. Amel Eid in January 2024 titled “Identité sous oppression. Est-ce que cela s’applique aux Palestiniens de Gaza?” https://ici-et-ailleurs.org/contributions/actualite/article/identite-sous-oppression-est?fbclid=IwY2xjawGqEhFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHazIgLQefcPzSqBDpXslPzibfGS0jTKar2GD09El2h_cfpCKHSBMvxCaVw_aem_nZz79YrH6ziW5Y_fIV3tjA
