Abstract
Continuous traumatic stress (CTS) caused by persistent structural violence has massive and long-term psychological and biological consequences, yet its genetic basis is not well understood in affected populations. Palestinians are subjected to constant stress as a result of settler colonial violence, systematic racism, and oppression, all of which not only shape everyday life but also affect the human genome.
