Planning Against Palestine

"But while this real estate logic of genocide (“the demolition phase”) persists in the minds and actions of key players, the September Trump plan and some of the more detailed proposals that preceded and prepared it—namely the leaked documents detailing the Tony Blair Institute’s (TBI) Gaza International Transition Authority (GITA) and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation-linked Gaza Reconstitution Economic Acceleration and Transformation (GREAT) Trust—fold that logic into a broader neo-colonial design. I want to argue that this design is both symptom and evidence of the intimate links and elective affinities between the seemingly fringe utopias of the far right, especially in its “techno-fascist” proclivities, and the core ideologies and practices of contemporary imperialism. At a deeper level, what we can see at work in these diagrams of dispossession is the nexus between accumulation and elimination, the genocidal logic of recursive “so-called primitive accumulation.” In other words, to borrow from Venezuelan Marxist literary critic Ludovico Silva, it is a salient dimension of capitalism’s relations of destruction."
