Overview

The article analyzes how colonial modernity contributes to the systematic destruction of existence in Gaza, highlighting its implications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to reinterpret genocide as a cumulative process driven by attacks on infrastructures sustaining life.
  • Conceptual analysis of genocide beyond mass killing
  • Identification of four vectors affecting existence: ontological denial, reproductive destruction, epistemic erasure, necropolitical domination
  • Focused analysis on Gaza as a case study for contemporary colonial violence.
  • Identified genocide operates through sustained assaults on collective infrastructures rather than isolated events.
  • Highlighted ongoing Nakba narrative for Palestinians, exemplifying long-term colonial harm.
  • Outlined implications of these forms of violence for understanding racialized governance and lived experiences.
