Abstract

The present article examines two projects of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHR-IL)-a clinic in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and a clinic for undocumented migrant workers and asylum seekers-in order to examine the tensions between medical humanitarian aid, human rights advocacy and egalitarian political activism. Through the examination of PHR-IL the article argues that it is possible to create a hierarchical synergism between those three modes.
