The postscript, “Treatment without Checkpoints,” looks at debility within disability among the disability service providers at the checkpoints in Palestine, then extends the concept to other populations. Debilitated disability as a result of collective punishment demands a complicated activism. The desire for mobility extends beyond the individual body to the collective displaced population. Progress in achieving a positive disability identity, Puar concludes, will not come about until the end of Palestinian occupation.

(Rose on Puar, 'The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability') This postscript explains how Israel is maiming Palestinians: (content warning: explicit brutality) "men with shattered knees and other multiple permanent debilitating injuries, marking each intifada".
