There are two articles in this issue. Adam Yaghi’s “‘No More Separation between Zion and her Children’: Palestine as a Sacred Geography and the Roots of the Gaza Genocide” “maps out” the rhetoric of genocide in Gaza on an imagined reconstitution of the Palestine geography according to a Euro-American scheme. Colonial geographies of domination presuppose the practice of genocide. Instead, Yaghi offers “a trajectory of resistance” based on Ibrahim Fawal’s On the Hills of God.
Joni Aasi’s “Environmental Harm Resulting from Israeli Bombing of Gaza: Legal Aspects” focuses on the environment as an additional victim of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The deranged concept of “mowing” the grass, essentially means that the Zionist entity in Palestine has been engaged in genocide multiple times. Aasi is of the opinion that the Zionist entity engages in this practice to achieve “a period of Calm.” The author attempts to offer a concept of genocide that includes ecocide. Given developments in international criminal law, Zionist practices pose the question of responsibility for the ongoing ecocide.
