Article - Israeli Demographic Engineering Across Colonized Palestine

The Israeli regime subjects Palestinians across colonized Palestine to an intricate system of demographic control. Through its strategic fragmentation of the Palestinian people and a body of apartheid laws, Israel continually revokes Palestinians’ residency rights, denies them family unification across the Green Line and beyond, strips them of Israeli citizenship, and secures their deportation.

How has Israel engineered and implemented these policies? What are their implications for the Palestinian people? How can they be challenged?

Israel’s withholding of Palestinian clearance revenues is a longstanding practice, historically used to punish or manipulate the Palestinian Authority (PA). Since October 2023, the Israeli regime has only escalated its theft of Palestinian funds, bringing the PA to the verge of financial collapse. This policy memo argues that Israel’s weaponization of clearance revenues is not merely an extension of past measures but a reflection of a new, more radical agenda driven by the far-right.
