Reflecting on developments in occupied Palestine since 2006/2007. It is worth remembering how we got here. How unacceptable it has been to the US (not to mention, of course, Israel) that Palestinians use their voice. How repeating the empty promise of a 2SS enabled the foreclosure of all forms /1

WSJ sub: “Indian Partition went smoothly enough, right? Will try to remember to check this before publishing.”

In case you are in the Princeton area next Wednesday, I will be discussing my book, and, I hope, both (i) the future of “local politics” in Palestine in the shadow of genocide and (ii) whether/how we should study such things as foreign scholars. Register here: bobst.princeton.edu/events/mayor...

Amidst the cloud of ongoing war and genocide, it was easy to miss Israel's demolition of the Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran in the Naqab/Negev last November. This account published a month ago from Raad Abu al-Kiyan is devastating: www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
