Combatting the Imprisonment of Palestine with Abolition w/ Fathi Nemer
Description
Prior to Israel’s current genocide in Gaza, that area was often referred since 2007 as an open air prison due to Israel’s complete control. Our first guest this morning argues that if we explore the violence of zionism – that is, not just Gaza but zionist control more broadly – as a prison, then an abolitionist challenge to it, can come into view. Our guest is Fathi Nemer, a researcher and writer who published a piece in Scalawag Magazine called “Imprisoning Palestine: Zionist colonialism through an abolitionist lens”, in which he and his co-author argue that Israel’s siege on Gaza is not the only carceral structure that zionism has imposed, but rather that the entirety of Palestinian life under zionism is a process of imprisonment.
