“La conquista no ocurrió, sino que comenzó hace 500 años, cuando se impuso una lógica económica basada en el lucro que continúa avanzando hasta hoy. Nosotros mismos, no los españoles de hace 500 años, somos los protagonistas de un experimento completamente nuevo, y muy riesgoso, en el trópico suramericano: la reducción sistemática de la diversidad. Durante milenios, los indígenas se adaptaron a la diversidad, tanto desde el punto de vista cultural como económico. Cada uno de los señalamientos que solemos hacer a los conquistadores del siglo XVI podríamos hacerlo a nuestra propia sociedad. Incluso, podríamos multiplicarlos.”
Carl Henrik Langebaek, Antes de Colombia (País 360): Los primeros 14.000 años

Noura Erakat
“International law can be accurately and fairly described as a derivative of a colonial order and therefore structurally detrimental to former colonies, peoples still under colonial domination and individuals who lack nationality or who, like refugees, have been forcibly removed from their state and can no longer invoke its protection.”
Noura Erakat, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine

Noura Erakat
“Israel's establishment in 1948 realized Jewish Zionist settler sovereignty in Palestine. And its acceptance as a UN member state normalized the sovereign exception, justifying the erasure of Palestinian peoplehood. The 1948 war and the demographic and territorial shifts it engendered, were the culmination of a process that had begun at least three decades before. The transformation of Palestine into Israel helps illustrate international laws utility in advancing settler colonial ambitions and in consolidating their gains.”
Noura Erakat, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine

Ilan Pappé
“…what the Palestinians are demanding and what for many of them has become a sine qua non is that they be recognized as the victims of an ongoing evil. Consciously perpetrated against them by Israel. For Israeli Jews to accept this would naturally mean undermining their own status of victimhood. This would have political implications on an international scale, but also, perhaps far more critically, would trigger a moral and existential repercussions for the Israeli Jewish psyche. Israeli Jews would have to recognize that they have become the mirror image of their own worst nightmare.”
Ilan Pappé, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

Noura Erakat
“In light of the currently minimal protest at top diplomatic and multilateral levels, Israel, together with the United States, will continue to define its military practices as the new normal in asymmetric warfare. Israeli and U.S. military operations, legal jurisprudence, and scholarly interventions will add to the state practice and opinio juris constitutive of customary law. This means that as customary law on irregular combat continues to crystallize, Gaza's besieged population, and Palestinians generally will continue to bear the devastating consequences of its experimentation.”
Noura Erakat, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine
