| Abstract | "Gaza, the center of Palestinian resistance to the occupation, is the linchpin of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the key to its resolution. Since 2005, Israel has severed Gaza almost completely from its vital connections to the West Bank, Israel, and beyond, and has deliberately shattered its economy, transforming Palestinians from a people with political rights into a humanitarian problem. Sara Roy examines this process, looking at US foreign policy towards the Palestinians, and analyzes the trajectory of Israeli policy toward Gaza, which became a series of punitive approaches meant to contain the Hamas regime and weaken Gazan society. Roy also reflects on Gaza's ruination from a Jewish perspective and discusses the connections between Gaza's history and her own as a child of Holocaust survivors." -- Back cover. |
