Abstract: This article mobilises generation as a lens for theorising and examining the contingent and permuting character of settler colonial formations, with a specific focus on Gaza. Generation, we argue, calls attention to settler colonial rule as situated and embodied, and temporalities of survival and resistance as layered and heterogenous. We draw on 20 interviews collected just after the 2021 bombings to foreground the reflections of young Palestinians who have grown up in, and never left, a Gaza blockaded and repeatedly bombed by the Israeli settler state. Specifically, we examine how young Palestinians, through reflections on how their generation faces a changed form of settler colonial rule, appraise and “stitch together” the temporalities of past dispossession, their present-day experiences of oppression and resistance, and futures of anti-colonial struggle and liberation. As a whole, we illuminate the importance of studying generational reappraisals and renegotiations of survival and resistance among Palestinians in and beyond Gaza as they struggle against a highly unstable and fragmented settler colonial formation.
