“…In many respects, by precluding the implementation of either the one‐state or two‐state eventualities, partial annexation plans can be seen as nothing more than another stalling tactic deployed by Israel as it expands its settler‐colonial enterprise. Yet, the propensity to view Palestine/Israel solely through the narrow lens of the one‐state/two‐state binary runs the risk, as Ihab Shalbak (2021) argues, of compromising our ability to accurately assess the political impacts of regional developments. This paper hence departed from the relegation of the futurity of Palestine/Israel to these statist propositions.…”

Unfastening Israel's Future from the Occupation: Israeli Plans for Partial Annexation of West Bank Territory

Israeli plans to partially annex West Bank territory have mainly been perceived as frustrating the two‐state solution, and as putting Palestine/Israel on a path leading to the one‐state alternative. This paper analyses partial annexation plans without assuming that the future of Palestine/Israel would necessarily abide by either statist resolution. It argues that by ostensibly distancing Israel's hold of the West Bank from an identifiable configuration of a belligerent occupation, partial annexation is offered to Jewish Israelis as a path for detaching the futurity of the two nations, and as a trajectory for normalising the Israeli state, without having to make what much of this public would see as painful concessions. It further explores settlers’ objections to such plans, claiming that even a partial incorporation of West Bank territory into formal Israel is expected to erode the exclusivity of Jewish domination which Israel has been upholding in its settler‐colonial frontier.

“…Such asserts are often dismissed as anti-Semitic, or rhetorical logic is used to claim the oppressed (or once oppressed) cannot be oppressors. As we (Embrick and Williams, 2019) and others (Alexander, 2002;Erakat, 2019;Lubin, 2016;Salita, 2006Salita, , 2012Pappé, 2006) have argued, the oppression of Palestinians is one of several grave injustices of our time. While the Israeli occupation of Palestine has been analyzed in terms of human rights and settler colonialism, the racialization and alienation aspect of the occupation is less explored.…”

Alienation, Racial Capitalism, and the Racialization of Palestinians

In this paper, we outline the contours of the history of oppression toward Palestinians to discern how the settler colonial racial capitalist state of Israel generates alienation in Palestinians. To accomplish this, we explore how the Global North disregards and/or participates in propping up Israel’s oppressive structural processes for stripping Palestinians of their land, resources, and identity. This includes the Palestinian healthcare system that has suffered decades of deliberate neglect, under-development, and strategic fragmentation, which hindered its coronavirus disease response. We conclude with implications and suggestions for rethinking not only how Palestinians are racialized and alienated as ‘others’ in a settler colonial racial capitalist system of oppression, but how the slow process of identity erosion (and perversion) works to dehumanize and justify the dispossession of Palestinians.

“…It should be noted, that Neither Settler nor Native joins a larger, interdisciplinary, and decolonial body of literature that has systematically been building a critique of history, power, and knowledge production for decades-a major undertaking when one considers the role of academic disciplines in upholding and reproducing colonial narratives (see, e.g., the works of Coulthard, 2014;Erakat, 2019;Gebhard et al, 2022;Grande, 2004;Harrison, 1991;Kumar, 2021;Mohanty, 2006;Patel, 2021;Razack, 1998;Tuhiwai-Smith, 1999). 3 Situating Mamdani's book next to the decolonial writings of other critical thinkers and writers also enables one to see the comparative strength of his work and the way the various case studies presented throughout the text speak to one another and a constellation of shared experiences and histories of oppression, and the forms of resistance mounted in opposition to domination.…”

Political violence, pedagogy, and the politics of world-making: Reflections on Mahmood Mamdani's Neither Settler nor Native

This article reflects upon Mahmood Mamdani's Neither Settler nor Native: The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities by tracing its contributions as a pedagogic text. In particular, I explore how the book (1) offers crucial insights about the founding of the modern political state and its relationship to settler colonialism, (2) reveals the importance of rethinking how we conceptualize political violence, and (3) traces some of the implications for political organizing that are rendered through a historical retelling of the story of political violence and state making. Ultimately, I argue that Neither Settler nor Native holds important lessons about how we struggle, what it is that we are struggling for, and how we might craft our collective commitments to a better and more just world in a way that more robustly accounts for the political histories from which we have emerged.
