title of this newsletter,
‘My heart makes my head
swim’, comes from Frantz
Fanon’s <a

moz-do-not-send="true"><i>Black
Skin, White Masks</i></a>
(1952). In a chapter called
‘The Fact of Blackness’,
Fanon writes about the
despair that racism
produces, the immense
anxiety about living in a
world that has decided that
certain people are simply
not human or not
sufficiently human. The
lives of these people,
children of a lesser god,
are assigned less worth than
the lives of the powerful
and the propertied. An
international division of
humanity tears the world
into pieces, throwing masses
of people into the fires of
anguish and oblivion.</p>
<p
style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">What
is happening in Rafah,
Gaza’s southernmost city, is
ghastly. Since October 2023,
Israel has ordered 2.3
million Palestinians in Gaza
to move southwards as the
Israeli armed forces have
steadily moved their
gunsights across the Wadi
Gaza wetlands down to the
edge of Rafah. Kilometre by
kilometre, as the Israeli
military advances, the
so-called safe zone moves
further and further south.
In December, the Israeli
government claimed, with
great cruelty, that the tent
city of al-Mawasi (west of
Rafah, along the
Mediterranean Sea) was the
new designated safe area. A
mere 6.5 square kilometres
(half the size of London’s
Heathrow airport), the
supposed safe zone within
al-Mawasi is nowhere near
large enough to house the
more than one million
Palestinians who are in
Rafah. Not only was it
absurd for Israel to say
that al-Mawasi would be a
refuge, but – according to
the laws of war – a safe
zone must be agreed upon by
all parties.</p>

only has Israel begun to

Israel seized the Rafah

entry of aid into Gaza
altogether. Starving

crime. Preventing aid from
entering Gaza is part of the
international division of
humanity that has defined
not only this genocide, but
the occupation of
Palestinian land in East
Jerusalem, Gaza, and the
West Bank since 1967 and the
system of apartheid within
the borders defined by
Israel following the 1948 <i>Nakba</i>
(‘Catastrophe’).</p>

words in this sentence are
fundamentally contested by
Israel: apartheid,
occupation, and genocide.
Israel and its Global North
allies want to claim that
the use of these words to
describe Israeli policies,
Zionism, or the oppression
of Palestinians is
tantamount to anti-Semitism.
But, as the United Nations
and numerous respected human
rights groups note, these
are legal descriptions of
the reality on the ground
and not moral judgments that
are made either in haste or
out of anti-Semitism. A
short primer on the accuracy
of these three concepts is
necessary to counter this
denial.</p>

Israel is referred to as the
‘occupying power’, which is
a term of art that requires
certain obligations from
Israel toward those whom it
occupies. Although the 1993
Oslo Accords set up the
Palestinian Authority,
Israel remains the occupying
power of the OPT, a
designation that has not
been revised. An occupation
is identical to colonial
rule: it is when a foreign
power dominates a people in
their homeland and denies
them sovereignty and rights.
Despite Israel’s military
withdrawal from Gaza in 2005
(which included the
dismantling of twenty-one
illegal settlements), Israel
continues to occupy Gaza by
building a perimeter fence
around the Gaza Strip and by
policing the Mediterranean
waters of Gaza. Annexation
of parts of East Jerusalem
and the West Bank as well as
the punctual bombing of Gaza
are violations of Israel’s
obligation as the occupying
power.</p>

occupation imposes a
structural condition of
violence upon the occupied.
That is why international
law recognises that those
who are occupied have the
right to resist. In 1965, in
the midst of Guinea Bissau’s
struggle against Portuguese
colonialism, the United
Nations General Assembly <a

moz-do-not-send="true">passed</a>
Resolution 2105
(‘Implementation of the
Declaration on the Granting
of Independence to Colonial
Countries and Peoples’).
Paragraph 10 of this
resolution is worth reading
carefully: ‘The General
Assembly… <i>[r]ecognises</i>
the legitimacy of the
struggle by the peoples
under colonial rule to
exercise their right to
self-determination and
independence and invites all
States to provide material
and moral assistance to the
national liberation
movements in colonial
Territories’. There is no
ambiguity here. Those who
are occupied have the right
to resist, and, in fact, all
member states of the United
Nations are bound by this
treaty to assist them.
Rather than sell arms to the
occupying power, who is the
aggressor in the ongoing
genocide, the members states
of the United Nations –
particularly from the Global
North – should aid the
Palestinians.</p>

published on 26 January, the
International Court of
Justice (ICJ) found that
there was ‘plausible’
evidence of Israel
committing genocide against
Palestinians. In March, the
UN special rapporteur on the
situation of human rights in
the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, Francesca
Albanese, published a
monumental <a

called <i>Anatomy of a
Genocide</i>. In this
report, Albanese wrote that
‘there are reasonable
grounds to believe that the
threshold indicating
Israel’s commission of
genocide is met’. ‘More
broadly’, she wrote, ‘they
also indicate that Israel’s
actions have been driven by
a genocidal logic integral
to its settler-colonial
project in Palestine,
signalling a tragedy
foretold’.</p>

to commit genocide is easily
proved in the context of
Israel’s bombardment. In
October 2023, Israel’s

that ‘an entire nation out
there is responsible’ for
the attacks on 7 October,
and it was not true that
‘civilians [were] not…

ICJ pointed to this
statement, among others,
since it expresses Israel’s
intent and use of

following month, Israel’s
Jerusalem Affairs and
Heritage Minister Amichai
Eliyahu <a

moz-do-not-send="true">said</a>
that dropping a nuclear bomb
on Gaza was ‘an option’
since ‘there are no
non-combatants in Gaza’.
Before the ICJ ruling was
published, Moshe Saada, a
member of the Israeli
parliament from Prime
Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s Likud party, <a

that ‘all Gazans must be

sentiments, by any
international standard,
demonstrate an intent to
commit genocide. As with
‘apartheid’ and
‘occupation’, the use of the
term ‘genocide’ is entirely
accurate.</p>
