Palestinians are undergoing another era of disposability and their existence in Palestine is in peril. How do Palestinians living under occupation get here, what are the causes of October 7 and Israel's genocidal policy in Gaza, and can Palestinians overcome their systemic dehumanization by Israel?
Disposable Palestinians tackles this reality head on. It advances disposability as a key concept for understanding Israel's restructured settler colonial regime during the Oslo period. It explains how a flawed peace process becomes a war process that targets Palestinian society, and why every Israeli war since the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000 is more violent, more destructive, and consistently popular in Israel – leading to the genocide in Gaza. It examines Israel's ideological and unlawful invocation of 'self-defense' to enforce its military occupation and colonization project and shows how its recourse to force militarizes Palestinian resistance, degrades democracy, and demobilizes collective action in Israel-Palestine. It also pinpoints two reasons for Israel's impunity: Israeli domestic support for war and US empire in the Middle East.
Disposable Palestinians critically interrogates this political history of colonialism and war. After failed strategies of unequal peace and indiscriminate militarism, a new mass Palestinian political strategy is more urgent than ever. It requires a collective struggle that reactivates Palestinian democracy, organizes global solidarity, and implements international law and the right of Palestinian self-determination. To end Palestinian disposability is a generational challenge for Palestinians and their supporters around the world.
