“…One of the main aspects of this act is balancing ethical considerations. These are both implicit and explicit in all focus groups: a commitment to go beyond merely identifying and taking a moral positioning against the violence but also to contribute to enhanced safety and healthy relationships [64]. Simultaneously, they elucidate the delicate balance they must strike between their dedication to fostering generative processes and their ethical and professional obligation to safeguard the well-being of each individual in the couple and their children.…”

Background: Couple therapists will encounter couple violence in their practice at some point. In this context, one of the main questions they must address is whether to continue with conjoint sessions. This study explores how couple therapists make sense of their decision whether or not to continue with conjoint sessions when violence has become an issue. Methods: This qualitative study used four semi-structured focus groups and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to analyse the data from the twelve experienced couple therapist participants. Results: Our IPA analysis led to three main group experiential themes across the focus groups: (1) Is it safe enough? (2) Do we have a joint and regenerative project? (3) What are three key sources for sense making? Conclusion: Partner violence challenges the realm of couple therapy. This article explored how the couple therapists orient themselves and grapple with decision making when violence becomes an issue. The article offers unique insights regarding what the therapists orient themselves towards and how they try to form an impression of whether to continue conjoint sessions. We outline immediate clinical implications and propose measures for building individual and organisational capacity regarding “clinical sense making”. Suggestions for further research are also addressed.

“…Therefore, it is neither ‘peace’ nor ‘war’, it is both—and the actually prevailing, quickening and sometimes slowing pace of violence—where innovation resides. But these wartime innovations, totalising and brutal in their destruction, also deepen the chasm of humanity between Gazans and the rest of the world or, to borrow a phrase from Judith Butler, prevent the ‘equal grievability of lives’ (Butler, 2023).…”

This article explores the growing connections between the Persian Gulf states and the heavily militarised Israeli innovation ecosystem. The Gulf actors now play an increasing role in support of Israel as a globally expanding ‘Start‐up Nation’, and are involved in transforming Palestinian land into a regional frontier of technology in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israeli‐Gulf cooperation and its impact on Palestinians, however, has not been thoroughly researched. Drawing from fieldwork among Palestinian and Israeli innovation elites, we map these growing connections between Gulf state actors and Israel and analyse how the occupied Palestinian territories are further enmeshed in complex networks of financial capitalist and settler colonial security interests. Theoretically, the paper advances the critique of the contemporary settler colonial frontier, venturing beyond its usual Eurocentric and binary geographies. We conclude that ‘innovation’ is both (a) the terrain of expanding structures of Israeli colonisation and (b) the site of productive ambivalences and novel forms of resistance in an evolving regional and global reality.
