The oppression of Palestinians has not been inflicted on any society for hundreds of years. Dr. Samah, head of the psychiatry department of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, said in an interview: The psychological blows inflicted on Palestine under oppression are divided into several levels. The first is strikes that result in physical harm, arrest, and torture. The next are collective attacks that create a sense of fear in society, such as the fighting between Zionists and Muslims in the Gaza Strip or the killing of Palestinian journalist Shirin Abu Aqila.
