“…Such is the devastating power of wounding, an enduring force that cannot be accurately described as less‐than or better‐than killing. As Puar points out, ‘Palestinians live in the temporal instability of the indefinite’ (Medien & Puar, 2018, p. 100). Traumatically wounded Palestinians live among them in a tortuous present and bounded spatiality from which there is not yet a meaningful escape.…”

Palestinians during the GMR, but it had also injured a staggering 33,141 others (WHO, 2020, p.2).Nearly a quarter of those injured⎯over 8,000⎯were shot with live ammunition (UN, 2020).In this paper I argue that the GMR should be understood as a space of enduring violence and wounding and that these concepts can enrich political geography and cognate work on violence, war, and trauma. The paper makes two contributions. First, it offers the concept of enduring violence as a supplement to feminist political geographical work on slow violence (Cahill and Pain 2019;

“…The very road we were using to enter the village thereby creates another space for mobilising slow wounding: the way of slowing down life with restricted mobility. The detour slows down everyday life through a spatial form that might restrict mobility, but by doing so hampers precisely the everyday life in the village (see also Kotef, 2015;Medien & Puar, 2018). Most of the Palestinian farmers, for instance, don't own cars and are forced to take 90-minute-long back-and-forth walks just to reach the closest accessible bus stop, or alternatively, have to pay for a private taxi, which remains expensive for a farmer who lives mainly off the land (with constantly diminishing acreage).…”

Visible lines on a map can sometimes foreclose obvious conclusions. The Bantustans of Palestinian cities and villages surrounded by the chains of growing settlements; the Separation Wall coiling within the West Bank; restricted areas, fences, settler-only roads -all made visible with lines that point towards the key Israeli endeavour to colonise Palestinian land without its inhabitants (see Gordon, 2008;Said, 1980;Zureik, 2016). Within the Bethlehem governorate, the area under focus in this particular study, E1 and E2 plans for settlement expansion have defined the directions taken in the north and south, the Gush Etzion settlement block in the West containing more than 75,000 settlers, all settling illegally (according to Fourth Geneva convention) West Bank and Palestinian lands. Here in particular the lines of existing and emerging conditions make visible, even mappable, the spatial patterns of occupation -the way it consistently proceeds to colonise the West Bank through settlements, barriers, walls, fences, checkpoints, and separated roads that consequently strangulate Palestinians' communities and villages in what Palestinians often refer to as the "human warehouses" (
