Palestine as Symptom, Palestine as Hope: Revising Human Rights Discourse
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948 by the then-member states of the United Nations. In the absence of an established international apparatus of enforcement, various means were implemented in order to make the language and principles of the declaration well understood and widely known, if not enforceable. The declaration, though proclaimed as universal, could not be disseminated, internalized, and regarded as universal without extensive educational efforts promoting these particular kinds of rights. The document itself was carefully designed to echo the official, minimalist design of other binding agreements such as charters and other declarations. Here, Azoulay talks about the conception of human rights.

Potential History: Thinking through Violence
Azoulay identifies the archival conditions--and reconstructing the violence involved in their creation and preservation--that guided her in shaping a new surface of appearance for the items she collected in this archive. While she was creating the \"From Palestine to Israel\" archive and elaborating the idea of potential history out of its main concept--constituent violence--her assumption was that the disaster of 1948 made the fate and history of Israeli Jews and Palestinians inseparable and that as long as the disaster of the \"visible victim\"--the Palestinian who suffered expulsion, dispossession, and destruction--is preserved unseen, those who inflicted it or their descendants--the Israeli Jews--will not recognize their own disaster.

Declaring the State of Israel: Declaring a State of War
When Jean Baudrillard wrote The Gulf War Did Not Take Place, many claimed he had dishonored the memory of those who had fought and died in the Gulf conflict. Others simply dismissed the work as eccentric. Within the Israeli context, whether directly affected by Baudrillard or as a result of a growing criticism of the Israelis' violent control of the Palestinians, a critical discourse of war has taken shape since the first Lebanon War that is not exclusive to state officials and the military. Drawing in a conversation he had 15 years ago with Shlomo Gazit, the former government coordinator in the occupied territories, Azoulay tries to understand how war breaks into language and what makes it possible to call or not to call a certain situation a war.

The one-state condition : occupation and democracy in Israel/Palestine
Since the start of the occupation of Palestinian territories in 1967, Israel's domination of the Palestinians has deprived an entire population of any political status or protection. But even decades on, most people speak of this rule—both in everyday political discussion and in legal and academic debates—as temporary, as a state of affairs incidental and external to the Israeli regime. In The One-State Condition, Ariella Azoulay and Adi Ophir directly challenge this belief.
Looking closely at the history and contemporary formation of the ruling apparatus—the technologies and operations of the Israeli army, the General Security Services, and the legal system imposed in the Occupied Territories—Azoulay and Ophir outline the one-state condition of Israel/Palestine: the grounding principle of Israeli governance is the perpetuation of differential rule over populations of differing status. Israeli citizenship is shaped through the active denial of Palestinian citizenship and civil rights.
Though many Israelis, on both political right and left, agree that the occupation constitutes a problem for Israeli democracy, few ultimately admit that Israel is no democracy or question the very structure of the Israeli regime itself. Too frequently ignored are the lasting effects of the deceptive denial of the events of 1948 and 1967, and the ways in which the resulting occupation has reinforced the sweeping militarization and recent racialization of Israeli society. Azoulay and Ophir show that acknowledgment of the one-state condition is not only a prerequisite for considering a one- or two-state solution; it is a prerequisite for advancing new ideas to move beyond the trap of this false dilemma.
