Abstract

This commentary addresses three objectives: (1) to situate and contextualise the ongoing military assault on Gaza within longer colonial histories in Palestine; (2) to collate resources that can equip geographers—specialist and non-specialist, academic and non-academic—with resources to build decolonial politics on Palestine–Israel; and (3) to contribute to discussions on what we, as geographers, can do to support Palestinian calls for liberation. These objectives are informed by a strong conviction that now is not a time for equivocation or silence. Palestinians, both in Palestine and in exile, need robust support and solidarity. This commentary offers one example of the form this support and solidarity can take in the context of academia. It does so by calling forth our discipline's plural and deep commitment to justice and thoroughgoing critique of the deleterious power structures and colonial legacies that have brought us to this current moment of crisis in Palestine.

加沙：非殖民地地理学

本评论有三个目标：(1) 将目前对加沙的军事攻击置于巴勒斯坦更长的殖民历史之中，并对其进行背景分析；(2) 整理资源，使地理学家--无论是专家还是非专家，无论是学术界还是非学术界--都能获得资源，在巴以问题上建立非殖民化政治；(3) 推动讨论，作为地理学家，我们可以做些什么来支持巴勒斯坦人的解放呼声。我们坚信，现在不是含糊其辞或保持沉默的时候。在巴勒斯坦和流亡海外的巴勒斯坦人都需要强有力的支持和声援。这篇评论提供了一个例子，说明这种支持和声援在学术界可以采取的形式。它呼吁我们的学科对正义做出多元而深刻的承诺，并对将我们带到巴勒斯坦当前危机时刻的有害权力结构和殖民遗产进行彻底批判。
