It is an invaluable book and a rich resource for scholars who work on Palestine and who wish to engage in other ways of seeing and knowing water and the more-than-human world(s). As Boast rightfully highlighted, this is particularly critical in a climate emergency reality where “a climate-changed future” (25) necessitates that we make connections between justice and ongoing environmental legacies of colonialism.","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45410899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) launched its Infrastructure and Camp Improvement Programme (ICIP) in 2007, with several pilot projects carried out to test this new approach. Using Gaza’s Deir El-Balah refugee camp as a case study, this article explores the contradictions inherent to development under humanitarianism and what Ilana Feldman has called “punctuations” in a chronic context of siege and infrastructure violence. That context, the article argues, perpetually sets the refugee communities back, eroding whatever capacities they were able to build up through their own collective efforts and through the aid of which they have been recipients for decades. Compounded by UNRWA’s perpetual funding shortage, the limits of development under the humanitarian umbrella within the context of a technocratic apolitical mandate become even more apparent.","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48190616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that partitioning the land of Palestine, which the Palestinian leadership acquiesced to, is a cornerstone of apartheid, and a legitimation of the Zionist movement. Rather than partition, the piece calls for a political strategy of decolonization that aims at dismantling the regime of apartheid that the Zionist movement instituted in Palestine in 1948.","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43113717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that the two Gulf states increasingly view Israel as an attractive model to emulate in terms of the management of internal dissent and external security. It details how both sides are seeking to develop a joint regional security architecture that mitigates their shared concerns around a possible return by the United States to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA), as well as the Gulf states’ specific anxiety about a broader US drawdown in the region. The analysis highlights how this new framework built around a common securitized approach is also intended to further the objectives of the two Gulf monarchies to lead the course of regional affairs.","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46111832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also disappointing that the book relies primarily on the work of famous white Euro-American scholars for its theories. One wonders if locating all of the Palestine material in two chapters of the book sandwiched between five other chapters mainly concerned with Euro-American derived theories might reproduce some of the problems that the book seeks to address. The book’s strength is its use of philosophy of science to rethink what is one of the largest failed institutions of our times. The compelling reading of Campus in Camps offered in the second part of the book will be of special interest to JPS readers. In sum, this book is a fascinating and useful read for anyone seriously interested in decolonizing the university, particularly from a philosophical and/or practice perspective.","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44135848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article focuses on two case studies: the Palestinian village of Kamanneh in the Upper Galilee and the Ganey Aviv neighborhood of Lydda, one of Israel’s so-called mixed cities. Based on these case studies, the paper argues that the planning process’s technical and legal manipulations as well as the raw political power involved produce and reproduce the settler-colonial logic of ownership in land as a territorial and symbolic mechanism of control.","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44417812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars of late have taken up the use of this phrase to signal how “common-sense” knowledge about Palestine and Israel is naturalized in ways that privilege Israel and subjugate Palestinian existence. However, I argue that the phrase is also useful for understanding how Palestine solidarity politics are micromanaged within transnational leftist social justice movements and academia.","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43387078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Moral Triangle: Germans, Israelis, Palestinians","authors":"Anna-Esther Younes","doi":"10.1080/0377919X.2022.2048607","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0377919X.2022.2048607","url":null,"abstract":"Palestinian American professor Sa’ ed Atshan and Israeli German American professor Katharina Galor’s book, The Moral Triangle: Germans, Israelis, Palestinians, tackles and wants to understand the complex histories and policies converging in Berlin through the triangulated ethnonational relationship between the Germans, Palestinians, and Israelis living there. The book grapples with the fact that Berlin is home to a large number of Israeli émigrés, while Germany is home to Europe’s largest Palestinian refugee population. The book presents such realities coexisting amid the backdrop of Germany’s unwavering pro-Israel policies as a paradox. Such exploration is compelling but would have been richer and more grounded had it been read alongside the literature on German colonialism, race, and empire politics. Unfortunately, most public decolonial critique, particularly by people of color, has been silenced in Germany, paving the way for The Moral Triangle to fill a gap that the authors call “groundbreaking” (p. 8). Both authors live and teach in the United States. Atshan is a sociocultural anthropologist of humanitarianism and Palestine studies, and Galor is a scholar of art history and Judaic studies. In the introduction both authors locate their expertise in the Middle East and elaborate on their own historical traumas, which are narrated as catalysts for their collaborative research in and on Berlin. It was especially the 2014 Israeli attack on Gaza that brought the authors together in an attempt to place “the human qualities of trust, collegiality, and friendship above national animosity” (p. 4). In this vein, the book aligns itself with both academic and nonacademic literature that narrates historical legacies of violence through the frameworks of memory and trauma. The book shines in its impressionistic and fast-paced reportage style. Galor and Atshan tap into narratives of perpetrators and victims, trauma and its afterlives, responsibility and reconciliation, morality, and memory. The book is subdivided into eleven short chapters, each of which can be read independently. Chapter titles range from “Trauma, Holocaust, Nakba” to “Germany and Migration” to “Racism, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia” and finally to “Restorative Justice.” A vaguely defined discourse analysis, which is not “meant to signal a particularly established methodology” (p. 8), gives attention to media coverage and social media of the triangular relationship. The authors conducted around one hundred interviews with interlocutors they knew or found through personal connections and social media, using what they refer to as the “snowball method” (p. 7). This analysis is augmented with taxi driver commentaries and public events during their ethnography, including street photos from their strolls through the “Arab quarter” of Neukölln and the Israeli restaurants therein. However, the many details of everyday German repression, encapsulated in its antiPalestinian activities and its expandi","PeriodicalId":46375,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palestine Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45234038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
