“…With this clarification, we return to a fundamental fact that, despite holding Israeli citizenship, “Arab Israelis,” like their stateless compatriots, remain Palestinians , living and functioning within systems of domination that are built to scaffold and lend credibility to a settler‐colonial regime. In the context of the indigenous population of the settler state of Israel, Lana Tatour (2019) shows us how “citizenship has figured as an institution of domination, functioning as a mechanism of elimination, a site of subjectivation, and an instrument of race making…Citizenship transformed space from Arab/Palestinian to Jewish, rendered settlers indigenous, and produced Palestinian natives as alien.” (p. 10) With these complexities in mind, that many of these clinicians and trainees were unfamiliar with Fanon, whether as political or psychoanalytic theorist, felt less to us as a commentary on their eruditeness or level of political engagement. Quite the contrary.…”

This article emerges from one collaboration with Palestinian clinicians while presenting the work of Frantz Fanon to a group of training clinicians in the Maana Center of EMMS Nazareth Hospital in Nazareth (al‐Nasirah). Reading and discussing Fanon in Palestine with Palestinian clinicians and trainees elicited deepseated feelings of affirmation and validation, while also disclosing anxieties arising from colonial alienation, as Fanon would say. At the same time, Fanon conjures in Palestine an affirming and empowering spirit that, inevitably, results in a consideration of how Palestinian indigeneity, no matter how mediated by regimes of domination and control, recenters itself as a repost to the extractive psychological and material violence that constitutes settler colonialism; in this case, Zionism. Adopting a decolonial methodology, we came to understand how psychological theory and practice provides Palestinian clinicians a means to work for selfawareness within a regime of oppression. Centering indigenous lives, their relationships to their own collectives and communities, and their relationship the psychopathy of settler colonial structures, produced critical psychological and social knowledge.

“…Citizenship for the Palestinians has already been discussed as a mode of exclusion and domination (e.g., Dallasheh 2015; Ghanem and Khatib 2017; Lustick 1980; Pappé 2013; Robinson 2013; Rouhana 1997; Tatour 2019; Yiftachel 2011); here, I dialectically articulate settler colonial citizenship to further understand how Palestinians have engaged citizenship-as-domination. Citizenship has not guaranteed full rights; classification was established on an imposed hierarchy of settler and indigene that sought maximal accumulation through the latter’s dispossession.…”

Citizenship as Accumulation by Dispossession: The Paradox of Settler Colonial Citizenship

This article extends critical trends of citizenship studies and the theory of accumulation by dispossession to articulate how settler colonial citizenship is instantiated through the active accrual of land and resources and how the emerging settler colonial citizenship entrenches both structural subjugation and resistance. The article then examines the reformation of the boundaries of citizenship through indigenous agency. I do so through examining the Palestinian citizens in Israel, specifically centering the Internally Displaced Persons—Palestinians who received Israeli citizenship even as they were displaced from their places of origin. I conclude by asserting citizenship’s double paradox in settler colonial contexts: It regulates certain rights and mobilities but simultaneously entraps the indigenous in a structure in which recursive accumulation is constitutive, thus entrenching dispossession and the further loss of collective rights and other claims.

“…Also, when Palestinians that remained in Israel were granted citizenship, that citizenship was used as a form of colonial domination. The settlers are seen as natural and authentic citizens, while the indigenous Palestinians are seen as a naturalized citizens, aliens and guests in their homeland ( 46 ).…”
