The engineered perimeter around the occupied Gaza Strip is formed by a sophisticated system of fences, forts and surveillance technologies. With each Israeli incursion, a military no-go area, or a "buffer zone", is established along its "borders", extending deep into Palestinian communities and farmlands in Gaza. These practices reproduce Israel's eco-colonial imaginary, further compounding the Gaza Strip's isolation from the rest of Palestine. Since 2014, the bulldozing of Palestinian lands by Israeli occupation forces has been complemented by the unannounced aerial spraying of military herbicides, extending the reach of Israeli colonial violence into the realm of chemical warfare. The spraying has destroyed entire swaths of arable land in Gaza, contributing to decades-long practices that have forcibly changed a once-lush Palestinian landscape. This book is a vivid document of this aspect of Israeli eco-colonial warfare and the strategies of anti-colonial resistance adopted by Palestinians in Gaza as a result. It includes original maps, images and visualizations, and collects new documents, original archival materials, stills of drone footage, first-hand testimonies of farmers, organizers and protesters, and documents affected vegetation in Gaza as "silent witnesses" to Israeli settler-colonial violence.
