Apartheid in Palestine : hard laws and harder experiences
\"There are more than two sides in the conflict between Palestine and Israel. There are millions. Millions of lives, voices, stories behind the enduring struggle in Israel and Palestine. Yet, the easy binary of Palestine vs. Israel so often relied upon for context in media reports effectively silences the multitudinous lived experiences at the heart of this strife. Ghada Ageel sought leading experts from the margins--Palestinian and Israeli, academic and activist--to gather stories that humanize the historic processes of occupation, displacement, colonization, and, most controversially, apartheid. Historians, scholars and students of colonialism and Israel-Palestine studies, and anyone interested in more nuanced debate, will want to read this book.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Apartheid in Palestine
\"Of all the crimes to which Palestinians have been subjected through a century of bitter tragedy, perhaps none are more cruel than the silencing of their voices. The suffering has been most extreme, criminal, and grotesque in Gaza, where Ghada Ageel was one of the victims from childhood. This collection of essays is a poignant cry for justice, far too long delayed.\" —Noam Chomsky There are more than two sides to the conflict between Palestine and Israel. There are millions. Millions of lives, voices, and stories behind the enduring struggle in Israel and Palestine. Yet, the easy binary of Palestine vs. Israel on which the media so often relies for context effectively silences the lived experiences of people affected by the strife. Ghada Ageel sought leading experts—Palestinian and Israeli, academic and activist—to gather stories that humanize the historic processes of occupation, displacement, colonization, and, most controversially, apartheid.

Forced Displacement and Rhetoric: A Pragmatic Analysis of Presuppositions and Speech Acts in Trump’s Discourse on the Gaza Strip
This study explores the rhetorical strategies used by US President Donald Trump's proposal for the forced displacement of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. It employs a pragmatic analysis framework to scrutinize Trump's statements, focusing on pragmatic presuppositions and speech acts. By examining purposively sampled extracts from Trump's White House meetings, this study provides an in-depth analysis of Trump’s rhetorical strategies in his proposal for the forced displacement of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The findings highlight Trump's discourse on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and his rhetoric of forced displacement, disregarding international law and Palestinian rights. His speech acts employ various functions, shaping the dominant narrative surrounding Gaza and Palestine. At the same time, his approach to conflict resolution relied on economic incentives and US control, neglecting the conflict's intricacies and power dynamics. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of Trump’s rhetorical approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for international relations.

Violence and Forced Displacement Increase in the West Bank
The Balfour Project and Sadaka, the Ireland Palestine Alliance, cohosted a webinar on Dec 19, 2023 to examine the dire conditions Palestinians face in the West Bank, particularly in Masafer Yatta, a region in the South Hebron Hills subjected to an Israeli lockdown and rampant settler violence. Even before the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, 2023 marked the deadliest year for Palestinians in the West Bank since 2005, as 234 people were killed in just over nine months. Between Oct. 7 and Jan. 14, 2024, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and armed settlers killed an additional 339 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 88 children.

Netanyahu's Plan To Deprive and Rule in Gaza Will Fail Again
From October 2023 to January 2025, Binyamin Netanyahu managed to displace about 1.9 million Palestinians-almost all of the population of Gaza. He must be proud. The Israeli prime minister can now go down in the Guinness Book of Records as the man who single-handedly displaced the most people within the smallest territory. I, myself, am one of these 1.9 million. I was displaced twice: the first time at the beginning of the genocidal war and then again a year later. Many Palestinian families were displaced repeatedly, some 10 times or more. When we were under siege in our neighborhood, Sheikh Radwan, in December 2023, we used to throw water bottles through the windows to our neighbor and his daughter to make sure they had something to drink. We also provided food to other people in need by throwing it over the wall separating our home from other homes. During our second displacement, a friend of my father's opened his home for us in the south, and we remained there for four months.

ENVIRONMENTAL HARM RESULTING FROM ISRAELI BOMBING OF GAZA
Israel’s unprecedented bombardment of the Gaza Strip has caused more than 100,000 casualties and the forced displacement of most of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants, but there is a “silent victim”: the environment, which includes the natural and built environment. This bombing is part of a strategy adopted by the occupying power toward the Palestinians since 1967, a strategy of conflict management. The high intensity and scale of the bombing is aimed at achieving a period of calm, as was the case after the invasion of the OPT (Operation Defensive Fence, 2002). According to this strategy, the continuation of the occupation of the Gaza Strip requires a radical “mowing” operation, which in legal terms amounts to genocide. This article attempts to present a broad concept of genocide that includes ecocide, and discusses the consideration of “military necessity” in populated areas when we know that the casualty rate in bombing these areas exceeds 90 percent, and that Israel justifies any objective on this principle. It also raises the question of responsibility for ecocide in light of developments in international criminal law and the contradiction between individual and collective responsibility.

Palestinians Discuss the Ongoing Nakba
The Nakba, the forced displacement of 750,000 Palestinians to facilitate the creation of Israel in 1948, was the focus of a May 10 event hosted by the Middle East Institute and Project48. Panelists detailed how the Nakba is not merely confined to the past, but a reality that continues to this day. Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi noted that it's often incorrectly assumed that the Nakba resulted from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. \"In fact, over 300,000 Palestinians were expelled long before then,\" he noted. Khalidi noted that displaced Palestinians are not permitted to return to their homes, while Jews from around the world are allowed to move to Israel and dispossess Palestinians. \"Under Israeli law they [Palestinians] cannot claim their property, while Israeli Jews can make property claims in East Jerusalem,\" he pointed out.

Hanan Awad's Olive Tree Project
Washington, DCs Jerusalem Fund Gallery hosted a haunting show called \"Palestine Through Photo Essays By Hanan Awad,\" on December 13. Awad is a Palestinian American street photographer based in Oklahoma, whose photos have been exhibited around the world. Her photos capture the tragedy of the physical and cultural forced displacement of Palestinians and narrate their resilience/resistance against the colonialist occupation of Palestine. Lining the gallery wall were Awad's prints, each one telling a story. Viewers meet Muhaned Salah, 35, arrested and detained for a week by Israeli authorities in 2016 because he'd had the temerity to file a formal complaint against nearby settlers who'd burned his house down in the village of Shushahla. Another print captures the voices and faces of Jahalin Bedouins, expelled from their ancestrial home and forced to live near a garbage dump in the West Bank.

The Grammar of Israeli Settler Colonial Violence and the Genocidal War Waged on Gaza: from the Nakba to the 7th of October 2023
This article analyses the official and unofficial Israeli discourse(s) towards Palestinians since October 7, 2023. These discourses are separate from established historical colonial ones, but the article sheds light on the shifts in semantic structures and uses pertaining to meanings and connotations. First, the article offers examples of official Israeli speeches outlining fundamentally colonial discourses when it comes to arguments and narratives re-employed in the current context of the genocide. Thus, the article examines discourses that fall within the binary structures of the ordinariness of evil; good and evil; progress and savagery; enlightenment and darkness (immorality), and the 'animalization of the Palestinians'. This logic of binarity facilitates calls for forced displacement, urbicide, domicide, annihilations of families, the killing of children, deprivation of food, water and fuel, closures to aid, bombings of cemeteries and hospitals, bombings of Islamic and Christian places of worships, killings of paramedics and volunteers in civil protection and humanitarian aid. Second, the article examines genocidal warfare, which relies on the negation of the existence of Palestinians as a people and community, and the dehumanization's process which allows for the destruction of the land and the people of Palestine. In particular, the article looks at the violence organized against Palestinians of the West Bank since 7th of October, by interrogating the speeches that accompany such acts of violence undertaken by both settlers and military forces. The focus lies on the analysis of the socio-political backgrounds of actors and the discursive and material mobilization of Israeli parties and organizations.

Remembering the 40th Anniversary of the Sabra Shatila Massacre
Forty years ago, during the week of Sep 12, Ang and Siegel were working in a Palestine Red Crescent Society facility, Gaza Hospital, in Sabra Shatila camp in West Beirut. As health care workers, they were trying to heal the wounds and repair the mutilated and destroyed bodies of those injured by Israel's invasion of Lebanon in June 1982. They had been working there following the evacuation of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), mediated by US Middle East envoy Philip Habib. Crucial to the evacuation agreement was the protection of the civilians left behind after the evacuation of the PLO, and Israel's undertaking not to invade and occupy Beirut. With the guarantee of protection by the multinational peace-keeping force, thousands of displaced civilian war victims returned to Sabra Shatila to rebuild their homes and lives. Unknown to these people who returned hoping to pick up and mend their shattered lives, the multinational peace-keeping force left West Beirut on Sep 11, 1982. On the evening of Sep 14, 1982, they became aware that the president-elect of Lebanon had been assassinated. Around the break of dawn on the following day, they heard planes flying low into Beirut.
