History

Notes

In using the term necropolitical state terror, we draw on Achille Mbembe's conception of “necropolitics”, which argues that the ultimate exercise of sovereignty is the power to kill, expose to death or allow to live ( 2003).
It must be noted here that statistics on the numbers of houses and other infrastructure destroyed varies from source to source, and sometimes within the same source at different times. We have attempted to minimize the confusion these varying statistics may cause by being consistent in drawing on data from the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Data solicited directly from OCHA office in Gaza, 21 July 2015.
Gisha is an Israeli not-for-profit organization, whose goal is to protect the freedom of movement of Palestinians, especially Gaza residents.
This quote is based on a discussion with one of the authors during the war on Gaza.
In Israel, there are two national radio stations, one public, that is called “Kol Israel” (the voice of Israel) and the second is the army radio station, that is, Gali Tzahal (the Israeli army airwaves). The army radio station is the most popular one.
