Description:
Gaza stands as a profound embodiment of resistance against ecocide and the settler-colonial logic of elimination. For decades, its ecosystems have endured deliberate devastation, where energy and water siege perpetuate daily crises, and ecological collapse intensifies human vulnerability. This ecocide is not incidental but a calculated strategy of Israeli settler colonialism designed to erase indigenous claims to land, sever socio-ecological ties, and entrench systems of dispossession. This talk foregrounds Gaza and the rest of Palestine’s resistance, framing it as a defiant act of reclaiming environmental and political agency. Through everyday acts of resilience—rooted in mending relationships with the land—green colonialism is challenged and alternative narratives of empowerment amidst ongoing oppression emerge.
