Index: Concepts, E

• Economic peace — Netanyahu’s model of furthering Palestinian economic dependence under the guise of two states, in Habbas’s account.
• Elective Belonging — Veracini’s term for settler formations’ elective and/or selective belonging, following voluntary movement rather than ascriptive birth.
• Elite Illegalism — Sprinzak’s term, quoted in Amar-Dahl’s Shin Bet Affair discussion, for the leadership’s instrumental orientation toward the law and the rule of law.
• Environmental Nakba — Qumsiyeh’s term, via Abu Mezied, for the systematic destruction of Palestine’s ecology alongside its people.
• Epistemic Violence — Violence at the site of knowledge production that renders Palestinians unreliable narrators of their own histories, in Kelly’s analysis.
• Eretz Israel — The name Zionists give, in Sayegh’s account, to all of Palestine emptied of its Arabs, whose minimum 1919 definition covers about double the settler-state’s area.
• Ethic of care — Feldman’s account, after Foucault, of care for self and others as a hierarchical practice reconfigured as government service in Gaza.
• Ethnic Cleansing — The concept at the centre of Pappe’s book: rendering a mixed country homogeneous by expelling a group, turning them into refugees and demolishing their homes, then erasing them from history — a crime against humanity of which Palestine in 1948 is, he argues, a clear-cut case.
• Ethnic Democracy — Sammy Smooha’s category for states combining genuine democracy for all with institutionalized dominance by one ethnic group, which Dowty treats as a description of nation-state dominance rather than a third type beside majoritarian and consociational democracy.
• Ethnocracy — Yiftachel’s term, as Wolfe uses it, for the ethnically exclusive regime of land and membership Zionism built as a Jewish-only zone in Mandate Palestine.
• Everyday services — Feldman’s term for permanent, mundane water, utility, road, transport and communication services whose repeated enactment shaped place and government in Gaza.
• Exile — In Bernard’s reading of Said and Barghouti, both unchosen collective displacement and a chosen critical stance, held in counterpoint.
• Exploitation and Dispossession — Hever’s dual nature of the Israeli economy: exploitation appropriates value as produced, dispossession appropriates prior value or natural resources, both redistributing wealth between groups.
• Exteriority — Said’s name in Orientalism for the Orientalist’s position outside the Orient, making the Orient speak for the West and producing representation.
