Settler colonial genocide: Omar Jabary Salamanca, Punam Khosla, Natasha Aruri, ‘It’s been 164 Days and a Long Century: Notes on Genocide, Solidarity, and Liberation’, Antipode, 2024

22Apr24

Excerpt: How does one write in the midst of an ongoing genocide? When the contours of Palestine are being redrawn in blood, and when unconscionable images of starving, injured, and dead children, women, and men have become our daily breakfast? How do we register the indignities, dehumanisation, and sadism being unleashed on the Palestinian people? Where does one begin to chronicle the cumulative calculus of 164 days of genocide compounded by the invisibilised cruelties of a long century of Zionist settler colonialism and imperial capture? What is our task as scholar-activists, as human beings, when we become witnesses and thus unwilling accomplices to the ravaging of an ancient people and geography that has stood tall for generations as a cradle of civilisation? And what in turn does the long struggle for Palestine offer to critical geographies of erasure, transnational solidarity, and liberation?
