“Neve Gordon has similarly detailed the ways in which the post-1967 occupation has undergone a shift in the modality of its governmental strategies from a bio-political model which required the incorporation and management of a subordinated and laboring population to a model of sovereign power that aims at the enclosure and eventual displacement of the indigenous Palestinian population” (PDF p.8 / printed p.66, citing Gordon, pp.11-21).
-
The Emergency Regulations’ continuous deployment for censorship, house demolitions and deportation of Palestinians is cited to Gordon, pp.36 and 52 (PDF p.14, 21, note 33; see British Emergency Regulations).
-
In The Ongoing Judaisation of the Naqab and the Struggle for Recognising the Indigenous Rights of the Arab Bedouin People, Gordon is quoted from The Guardian of 28 July 2010, ‘Ethnic cleansing in the Israeli Negev’, on the demolition of Al-Araqib: ‘the razing of a Bedouin village by Israeli police shows how far the state will go to achieve its aim of Judaising the Negev region’ (PDF p.23 / printed p.103, note 78).
-
In Exploitation of Palestinian Labour in Contemporary Zionist Colonialism, Gordon is cited with Arie Arnon and Shlomo Swirski for the argument that as Israel moves away from an exploitation-based policy, the occupation becomes less profitable, and eventually even a burden on the Israeli economy (PDF p.2 / printed p.125, note 1, citing Israel’s Occupation, University of California Press, 2008). Hever also cites Gordon’s ‘The Political Economy of Israel’s Homeland Security/Surveillance Industry’ for the Homeland Security Industry companies Elbit, Magal and Nice and their reliance on equipment tested on Palestinians to promote sales (PDF p.6-7, note 9).
