“…The studies cover almost the full spectrum of the social sciences and the humanities, including history, sociology, anthropology, gender and women studies, religion, sexuality studies, literature, geography and citizenship studies (e.g. Piterberg, 2008; Robinson, 2013; Shafir and Peled, 2004; Shalhoub-Kevorkian, 2015; Rouhana and Sabbagh-Khoury, 2015; Amara et al , 2013; Morgensen, 2012; Masalha, 2013). On the other hand, this perspective has been rejected by other academics that highlight the historical, cultural and religious ties between the Jewish people and the region.…”

“…Essentially, these were the tools that aimed for completing the task of elimination by expulsion. During the war, even before the Israeli army had gained control over many parts of what became Israeli territory, the authorities were debating the best way to block the trickle of refugees attempting to return in order to ‘freeze’ the demographic picture then (Leibler and Breslau, 2005, p. 891; Robinson, 2013, pp. 72–76).…”

“…Residency, in the sense established by this ordinance, allowed the ‘legal’ residents to stay in the country. The officials of the Interior Ministry interpreted the provisions of the ordinance narrowly to exclude as many Palestinians as possible (Robinson, 2013). Many of the ‘illegal’ residents were expelled after large ‘sweeping’ campaigns by the Israeli authorities.…”

“…Because of the war situation and the arbitrary policies adopted since 1948, many did not meet the criteria. The result was that a significant number were not entitled to citizenship and had to naturalise (Robinson, 2013). This group also lost most of their property to the state because they were deemed ‘absentees’ according to the Absentee Property Law 1950, giving rise to the oxymoronic category of ‘present absentees’.…”

Colonial imprints: settler-colonialism as a fundamental feature of Israeli constitutional law

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link Abstract:Many constitutional questions in Israel are dealt with through the lens of the nation-state paradigm where the state is constitutionally associated with an ethnically and religiously defined majority group. Thus, many of the challenges that face Israeli society and the legal system are often presented as a result of an exceptionally antagonistic majority-minority relationship in a nation-state. This article offers a novel way of analysing the Israeli constitutional regime using the framework of settler-colonialism. It argues that adding the settler-colonial lens will help better understand many features of Israeli constitutional law. Drawing on theoretical frameworks developed by theorists of colonialism, the article explores a number of foundational aspects of Israeli constitutional law and demonstrates how they were shaped, and continue to be shaped, by settlercolonialism. The article argues that settler-colonialism is one of the central features that animate Israeli constitutional law.

“… 14. Importantly, commonly a distinction is made between Israeli colonialist and/or national development policies in the Westbank and Gaza Strip, on the one side, and within the Green Line, on the other. According to many authors, within the Green Line, national development policies still assume a colonial character (Said 1994; Yiftachel 2006; Bishara 2015; Robinson 2013; Pappe 2006), while other authors place emphasis on the ethno-national dynamics of exclusion (Rabinowitz and Abu-Baker 2005; Shafir and Peled 2005). …”

Affective Borderlands: Experiences in Practice of the Neo-Zionist Settling Enterprise in the Israeli Periphery

Journal of Contemporary Ethnography

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In writing on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the image of neo-Zionist settlers is taken often uncritically as an immediate expression of power, in representations by both settler movements and their opponents. Based on an ethnographic perspective that combines Herzfeld’s attention to the “intimacies” with critical writing on the symbolization of reality, I shift attention to an intricate representation of “affective borderlands” to illuminate situated experiences of settler–native relations in practice. Focusing on specific fragile and contradictory relations of single settlers and natives unfolding around a newly established village in Israel’s southern Negev desert, this ethnographic lens contributes to a deeper understanding of Israeli–Palestinian relations as entangled and entwined rather than separate. Beyond a dichotomist conception of native–settler relations and beyond the palpable dynamics of power, this examination of affective borderlands demonstrates that the more opponents invest in distinguishing themselves from the settler endeavor, the more its power over them grows.

Coloniality and Necropolitics in the Age of COVID-19: The Question of Palestine

This article interrogates the necropolitical logics of the Israeli settler-state apparatus towards Palestinians in the Occupied Territories during the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines these logics and practices through the prism of coloniality, which conceptualizes manifestations of colonialism (whether material, epistemic, or ontological) as a diffuse set of practices, opening up the conversation to discuss the ways in which international organizations, other states, and the Palestinian Authority continue to inflict the colonial harm through the employment of particular policies. Centring coloniality as an analytic allows a more global perspective and widens the discussion to include the ways in which Palestinians practise decoloniality, building and imagining “otherwise” worlds. This article maps the ways in which the devastation of the pandemic is not a product of the pandemic itself, but larger legacies of material, epistemic, and ontological colonial intervention.
