Inter/Nationalism
\"The age of transnational humanities has arrived.\" According to Steven Salaita, the seemingly disparate fields of Palestinian Studses and American Indian studies have more in common than one may think. InInter/Nationalism,Salaita argues that American Indian and Indigenous studies must be more central to the scholarship and activism focusing on Palestine.
Salaita offers a fascinating inside account of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement-which, among other things, aims to end Israel's occupation of Palestinian land. In doing so, he emphasizes BDS's significant potential as an organizing entity as well as its importance in the creation of intellectual and political communities that put Natives and other colonized peoples such as Palestinians into conversation. His discussion includes readings of a wide range of Native poetry that invokes Palestine as a theme or symbol; the speeches of U.S. President Andrew Jackson and early Zionist thinker Ze'ev Jabotinsky; and the discourses of \"shared values\" between the United States and Israel.
Inter/Nationalismseeks to lay conceptual ground between American Indian and Indigenous studies and Palestinian studies through concepts of settler colonialism, indigeneity, and state violence. By establishing Palestine as an indigenous nation under colonial occupation, this book draws crucial connections between the scholarship and activism of Indigenous America and Palestine.

Motives For (Non) Recognition of Kosovo and Palestine
Objective: The recognition of new states is a complex process that is influenced by a range of factors, including interests and global developments. This article explores the primary reasons why some states hesitate to recognize the independence of Kosovo and Palestine. Method: The study employs an analytical and comparative method, drawing on various secondary sources. Moreover, we conducted quantitative research via a questionnaire to gauge the underlying motives for recognizing these two states. Results and Discussion: The study reveals that the reasons why states hesitate to recognize Kosovo and Palestine are varied. States that do not recognize Kosovo may recognize Palestine and vice versa. The level of political conflict between the state claiming independence and the mother state, legal arguments, and regional and international implications all play a role in the decision to recognize or not. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in international relations, foreign policy, and diplomacy. The study offers valuable insights for policymakers, diplomats, and researchers involved in conflict resolution, state-building, and international law. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by presenting a fresh perspective on the motives for (non) recognition of Kosovo and Palestine. Various influences on specific preferences for recognition evidence the significance and value of this research. These motives for (non) recognition are not solely legal; they also depend on geopolitical orientation and regional dynamics.

The Rhetoric of Decolonizing Global Health Fails to Address the Reality of Settler Colonialism. Gaza as a Case in Point
This editorial critiques the existing literature on decolonizing global health, using the current assault on health in Gaza as a case in point. It argues that the failure to address the ongoing violence and blatant targeting of health facilities, personnel and innocent civilians demonstrates most clearly the limitations of an approach that is strong on rhetoric and weak on mounting a forthright challenge to the entire system supporting and perpetuating settler colonialism. We propose a more radical rethinking of the position of global health institutions within the current neoliberal system and of the systems of knowledge production that continue to underpin the existing colonial approach to the health of victims of settler colonialism.

Together torn apart: reflections of two Palestinian healers in a time of genocide
The abstract is translated in Arabic below. We are two Palestinian healers, psychotherapists, community workers, activists, and researchers who strive to resist the deluge of Zionist settler-colonial violence and unending نكبة Nakba (“catastrophe”) waged against our people. We enact resistance and refusal by bringing the knowledges and practices that we treasure, which form a decolonial healing praxis, into the center of our work in Palestinian ways. But what are the roles of Palestinian healers in a time of genocide? Is our work even relevant in meeting critical needs in this moment? What are the ways of thinking, feeling, and practicing that guide our work as we are torn apart on the inside, witnessing unending atrocity in this time of monsters, this time of world-ending forces of hate and إبادة ebada (“annihilation”)? These are some of the questions we explore in this article as we write our grief and praxes within this moment of genocide.

Ghosts in the archive: The palestinian villages and the Decolonial archives
The article drives from the Israeli colonial archives and seeks to crack their structure, foundations and imagination. It wishes to establish a counter postcolonial/decolonial archive, based on colonial sources, while taking into consideration the specific condition of the Israeli colonialism and settler colonialism, and mainly the repressive administration of the colonial archives. While colonial bodies and archives erase the indigenous history and past, the counter archive aims to return them to their original population and to the pubic-sphere, calling for democratization processes. It will be established on the ruins of the Israeli colonial archive, will tell the story of the Palestinian villages that their population was uprooted and exiled (before and after exile), the story of the Palestinian population who remained in Palestine under military regime, strangers in the house; the erasure and attempt to control Palestinian historiography and culture to support official Israeli narrative. The decolonial archive will also gather indigenous materials in colonial archives, point out the physical and interpretative forces exerted on them, cleanse them of their biased interpretation and focus on structuring a reading that differs from the original colonial designation. It will restore them to indigenous history, enabling the construction of an alternative multi- layered database, different from the one-sided characteristic of colonial archives. The proposal then is to turn the Israeli colonial archive–corrupt, oppressive and destructive, into a more autonomous site–not only the materials themselves but also the way they are contextualized, read and interpreted.

Considering liberation beyond statehood (deferred)
Complicating linear narratives of liberation, the Gaza Strip under Hamas rule, Somdeep Sen argues in Decolonizing Palestine, constitutes a microcosm of the Palestinian ‘long moment of liberation’ with Hamas assuming the dual role of an anticolonial force and postcolonial government. It is in this mix of the colonial and putatively postcolonial that this book treads. In so doing, Sen offers an important accounting of the messy temporalities of liberation that work against the grain of linear time. In this review, I think alongside Sen’s important provocation that we unbracket liberation from a unitary or single event to consider instead the punctuated, overlapping, and decisively non-linear temporalities that constitute decolonization. Equally, this review asks what dangers might inhere in tethering liberation to a governing authority? Bringing Sen’s work into conversation with contemporary Palestinian politics, movements, and revolutionary moments that cannot be contained within Hamas, this review asks how we might think with Sen about decolonisation as temporally unbounded but also as constituting heterogenous visions, forces, actors and practices that extend beyond formal structures and institutions. What might we gain, it asks, if we expand Sen’s invaluable ‘long moment of liberation’ to include this panoply of forces, visions, and instantiations of decoloniality in practice? It is here, in bridging the messy temporalities of liberation with the heterogenous forces and myriad of ways that Palestine’s decolonial futures are actively being made beyond formal parties and structures, that Sen’s thesis, it suggests, finds its liberatory potential.
