Settling Nature: The Conservation Regime in Palestine-Israel

# data[].attributes.body
This book documents the widespread ecological warfare practised by the state of Israel. Recruited to the front lines are fallow deer, gazelles, wild asses, griffon vultures, pine trees, and cows—on the Israeli side—against goats, camels, olive trees, hybrid goldfinches, and akkoub—which are affiliated with the Palestinian side. These nonhuman soldiers are all the more effective because nature camouflages their tactical deployment as such.

​Drawing on more than seventy interviews with Israel’s nature officials and on observations of their work, this book examines the careful orchestration of this animated warfare by Israel’s nature administration on both sides of the Green Line. Alongside its powerful protection of wildlife biodiversity, the territorial reach of Israel’s nature protection is remarkable: to date, nearly 25 per cent of the country’s total land mass is assigned as a park or a reserve. Settling Nature argues that the administration of nature advances the Zionist project of Jewish settlement and the corresponding dispossession of non-Jews from this space.

This book provides a vivid account of the political valence of weaving queer into native positionality and the struggle for decolonisation in the settler colonial context of Palestine, referred to as decolonial queering. It discusses how processes of gender and sexuality that privilege hetero-colonising authority shaped and continue to define both the Israeli-Zionist conquest of Palestine and the Palestinian struggle for liberation, thus future imaginings of free Palestine. This account emerges directly from the voices and experiences of Palestinian activists and artists; particularly, it draws on fieldwork with Palestine’s most established queer grassroots movement, alQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society, and a variety of artistic Palestinian productions (photography, fashion, music, performance, and video art). Offering a comprehensive and in-depth engagement with the situated context, history, and local practices of Palestinian queerness, scholars, students, and activists across (de)colonial, race, and gender/sexuality studies would appreciate its unique insights; its empirical focus also reaches to those academics in the wider fields of Middle Eastern, anthropological, and political studies.

AI, Sacred Violence, and War—The Case of Gaza Chris Hables Gray

# data[].attributes.body
This open access book is about how Israel is using Algorithmic Intelligence (AI) and other computer technology in military operations in the Gaza Strip to achieve goals based on ancient religious entitlements. Changes in Israel Defense Force (IDF) ethical codes and innovation policies have not led to victory, but have resulted in a wide range of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity in a strategy focused on The Torture of Gaza, which includes ethnic cleansing and is approaching genocide. It covers the history of using AI in war, and current U.S. and Israeli military AI technologies such as Maven, Iron Dome, Pegasus, the Alchemist, Gospel, Lavender, and Where’s Daddy, all tested and perfected in the Palestinian Laboratory and marketed as such. This book also places the current data-driven and AI-directed assault on Palestine in the context of Postmodern War, which precludes military victories and enshrines the profits and power of the U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex in a system of perpetual war and militarized technological innovation. Through an analysis of Israeli military policies, AI, sacred texts, and the basic tenets of postmodern war, the book ultimately reveals the limits of the IDF’s embrace of illusions about new technologies producing actual victory. War today is about winning hearts and minds, not body counts. As fundamentalist politics achieve more and more power around the world in the context of new information technologies, there is growing danger to the future of all of us.

"For Palestine: Essays from the Tom Hurndall Memorial Lecture Group"

# data[].attributes.body
“I am not afraid to look.” – Tom Hurndall, 2003. On the eve of the invasion of Iraq in February 2003, Tom Hurndall, a photography student at Manchester Metropolitan University, travelled from Manchester to the Middle East to witness the horrors in Iraq and then later in Palestine. Tom was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier on 11 April 2003 whilst attempting to rescue two children trapped by Israeli sniper fire. He later died in hospital on 13 January 2004 without gaining consciousness. He is remembered for his determination to bear witness to the conflict in Palestine and his bravery to capture the atrocities directed towards the suppression of the Palestine people. This book is a collection of lectures written by reputable scholars who offer diverse perspectives on the historical, political and cultural struggles in Palestine. Encompassed in the pages are sixteen chapters produced for the Tom Hurndall Memorial Lecture Group. Unlike predecessors of this topic, this book offers a thought-provoking and comprehensive analysis of Palestine, including architectural, cultural, legal, sociological, and psychological questions, providing a larger scope of study that has not yet been done before. Ultimately, this book explores oppression in Palestine and beyond in the Middle East. The vast study and in-depth exploration makes this an ideal book for those who are interested in the Palestine conflict, Zionism, Israel and further conflict in the Middle East, as well as a necessity for those who are studying the topic in education settings.

About

A coffee seller waits all day for one of his customers to ask him how he is, until eventually he just tells the city itself...

A teenager is ordered off a bus at a checkpoint and told he must kiss a complete stranger if he wants the bus to be let through...

A woman pilgrimages to the Cave of the Prophets, to pray for rain for her tiny patch of land, knowing it will take more than water to save it...

Unlike most other Palestinian cities, Ramallah is a relatively new town, a de facto capital of the West Bank allowed to thrive after the Oslo Peace Accords, but just as quickly hemmed in and suffocated by the Occupation as the Accords have failed. Perched along the top of a mountainous ridge, it plays host to many contradictions: traditional Palestinian architecture jostling against aspirational developments and cultural initiatives, a thriving nightlife in one district, with much more conservative, religious attitudes in the next. Most striking however - as these stories show - is the quiet dignity, resilience and humour of its people; citizens who take their lives into their hands every time they travel from one place to the next, who continue to live through countless sieges, and yet still find the time, and resourcefulness, to create.

From the award-winning writer and thinker, an essential reckoning with the war in Gaza, its historical conditions, and moral and geopolitical ramifications ‘Courageous and bracing, learned and ethical, rigorous and mind-expanding’ NAOMI KLEIN
‘Mishra has made a powerful contribution to the moral history of the world’ ANDREW O’HAGAN
‘Urgent’ HISHAM MATAR
‘Brilliant’ WILLIAM DALRYMPLE Memory of the Holocaust, the ultimate atrocity of Europe’s civil wars and the paradigmatic genocide, has shaped the Western political and moral imagination in the postwar era. Fears of its recurrence have been routinely invoked to justify Israel’s policies against Palestinians. But for most people around the world – the ‘darker peoples’, in W. E. B. Du Bois’s words – the main historical memory is of the traumatic experiences of slavery and colonialism, and the central event of the twentieth century is decolonisation – freedom from the white man’s world. The World After Gaza takes the war in the Middle East, and the bitterly polarised reaction to it within as well as outside the West, as the starting point for a broad reevaluation of two competing narratives of the last century: the West’s triumphant account of victory over Nazi and communist totalitarianism, and the spread of liberal capitalism, and the global majority’s frequently thwarted vision of racial equality. At a moment when the world’s balance of power is shifting and a long-dominant Western minority no longer commands the same authority and credibility, it is critically important to enter the experiences and perspectives of the majority of the world’s population. As old touchstones and landmarks crumble, only a new history with a sharply different emphasis can reorient us to the world and worldviews now emerging into the light. In this concise, powerful and pointed treatise, Mishra reckons with the fundamental questions posed by our present crisis – about whether some lives matter more than others, why identity politics built around memories of suffering is being widely embraced and why racial antagonisms are intensifying amid a far-right surge in the West, threatening a global conflagration. The World After Gaza is an indispensable moral guide to our past, present and future.

Zionism was inspired as a movement—one driven by the search for a homeland for the stateless and persecuted Jewish people. Yet it trampled the rights of the Arabs in Palestine. Today it has become so controversial that it defies understanding and trumps reasoned public debate. So argues prominent British writer Jacqueline Rose, who uses her political and psychoanalytic skills in this book to take an unprecedented look at Zionism—one of the most powerful ideologies of modern times.

"No Traces of Life" Israel's Ecocide in Gaza: 2023-2024

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t know if you’ve heard of ‘Forensic Architecture’, but they’re a research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London (where Sara Ahmed worked before she resigned in protest over student reports of sexual harassment by staff). Their work is a cross between investigative journalism (a lot of which uses digital technology to expose government/news media cover-ups) , architecture, art, and politics and one of their ongoing investigations is on ‘Israel’s Ecocide in Gaza’. In this piece, they use remote sensing, cartographic regression, and 3D modelling to show how Israeli occupation forces’ use of airborne herbicides has impacted Palestinian farmers in 2014. It might be interesting to think through the mechanics of ‘ecocide’ as another dimension to some of the other ideas that have come up in our reading together (as a lot of the specifics goes over the head of this literary researcher).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For the past decade, the Abu Suffiyeh family has cultivated one of the last olive, pomegranate, and citrus orchards along the eastern perimeter of Gaza, in a district called East Jabaliya.

Directly facing the Israeli-imposed buffer zone, these orchards and the lands cultivated by other farmers in this area were often threatened by bulldozing by the Israeli occupation forces, which declared that any vegetation higher than 1 metre in the vicinity of their military 'no-go' area is a security threat, and must be flattened. In this way, the continued existence of the Abu Suffiyeh farm and its neighbours confronted the colonial imaginary of a flattened Gazan landscape.

Later, during the 2018 civilian protests, known as the Great March of Return and the Breaking of the Siege, the areas surrounding the Abu Suffiyeh farm became a gathering place for protesters confronting the occupation.

Even as the decades-long Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip prevented access to clean water and vital farming materials, through careful and assiduous tending, Abu Suffiyeh's orchard nevertheless grew tall.

But the family's efforts to preserve their land were unable to withstand the recent Israeli military incursions: satellite imagery from January 2024 shows that the farm was destroyed by the Israeli ground invasion. Earth berms have been raised by bulldozers to create military bases, and a new road has been carved through the landscape.

Together, these earthworks have transformed a previously productive Palestinian agricultural area into a colonial military outpost.

Using satellite and aerial images, we were able to trace the changing landscape of the Abu Suffiyeh farm and neighbouring agricultural lands over decades. Historical aerial photography shows Palestinian fields and orchards in the area before the Israeli occupation in 1967. Despite the Israeli land expropriation and nearby settlement construction that followed, cultivation continued for decades, until the 2000s, when this agriculturally rich area was uprooted and flattened to build roads and infrastructure to support the illegal settlements. Following the removal of the Israeli-Jewish settlements in 2005, despite regular attacks and lack of access to key farming materials, Palestinian farmers like the Abu Suffiyeh family were able to successfully restore the land.

Taken together, this analysis reveals persistent Palestinian cultivation of these farmlands in the face of forced changes to the landscape by the Israeli occupation.
