In this issue of FUSE, guest-edited by Nasrin Himada and Reena Katz, we highlight the shared structures and contemporary effects of settler colonialism brought to bear on communities in Palestine and on Turtle Island. Our title, Palestine–Palestine refuses the liberal discourse of equating Palestine and Israel as two equally functioning entities. It also refuses to frame Palestine as the counter to Israel, as its eternal Other. Palestine–Palestine liberates لسطين from its colonial perpetrator, releasing it from the false dichotomy that masks the violence of settler colonialism with the language of “conflict” or “war.” In thinking through Palestine–Palestine in conversation with anti-colonial movements across the world, we position it as an homage to the revolutionary struggles that began in the 1960s, in the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon. Palestinian revolutionaries, the Fidae’en, called for anti-imperial forms of struggle alongside the Third World International movements across continents in Africa, Asia and Latin America. There is no room within Palestine–Palestine for state-sanctioned forms of “peace-making” that are encapsulated by neoliberal ethics of position placing. There is no room for the referent war. This is occupation. And the struggle continues.
