The Zionist decolonisation of rural malaria control in Palestine from 1922 onwards – what it teaches
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: September 1918, the disease returned shortly thereafter. Due to the disease, the country was desolate and was either almost empty or uninhabitable in many rural areas. With the dream of a Jewish Homeland somewhere in Palestine, the Zionists were obliged to view malaria control as a priority. But the Zionists were unable to conduct malaria control in the same manner as that carried out by the British Army due to lack of finances and manpower that were available to the British Army. The Zionists were obliged, therefore, to think creatively and set about launching the first start of a sustainable malaria control programme for the whole country, of which it is only now realised that it was also the first step anywhere in the decolonisation of malaria control, an approach that was conducted by all the inhabitants for all the inhabitants.
