The everyday violence of life in occupied Palestine
Since the Nakba, institutional violence by Israel against Palestinians has worked alongside paramilitary and military violence to advance the zionist fantasy of a Jewish state across all of historic Palestine, argues VIJAY PRASHAD
DRIVING along the Jordan River Valley in the Occupied Palestine Territory (OPT) of the West Bank is a stunning experience.
The road is officially called Highway 90. The arable and irrigated land along this road is held militarily and illegally by Israeli settlers, many of whom are not actually Israeli citizens, but residents from the Jewish diaspora.
A United Nations commission report published in 2022 showed that this settlement activity is a crime against international human rights law (transfer of population into an occupied territory).
