      The Families of Gaza: Sumud as Collective Endurance

      We cannot understand Gaza’s endurance through a binary that casts Palestinians, individually or collectively, as either heroic in their resistance or passive victims. Rather, we must approach it through a decolonial conception of sumud (steadfastness): a historically situated, relational, and materially conditioned practice of collective endurance that emerges, shifts, and persists within ongoing colonial violence.

      Israel’s Yellow Line in Gaza: Annexation without Legal Burden

      This policy brief argues that, by maintaining the classification of such zones as provisional security arrangements rather than permanent borders, the Israeli regime exercises territorial control while limiting the immediate legal and political costs associated with declared annexation.

Israel-Palestine: real estate factor

Program Director Alaa Tartir discusses the current round of peace talks with Gershon Baskin, founder of the Israeli Palestinian Center of Research and Information, and Dr. George Giacaman, Co-Founder and General Director of The Palestinian Institute for the Study of Democracy in Ramallah. Tartir argues that “real estate projects” are a product of the economic peace paradigm and an excellent example for the corrupted marriage between economy and politics. “Having these projects on the agenda of the peace talks illustrates the low ceiling of such talks and why Palestinian people don’t subscribe to them … Building a nation does not happen through building a real estate project.”
