Recolonization and Erasure in the Middle East

In exploring the proposal for a “Gaza Board of Peace,” the text argues it represents a neo-colonial strategy, framing Gaza’s governance as a humanitarian necessity while stripping its population of agency. This mirrors the historical League of Nations Mandate system, where colonized regions were deemed unready for self-determination. The proposal also perpetuates racial hierarchies by suggesting Palestinians require external management to govern their lives. Ultimately, the text advocates for a decolonial approach that dismantles these oppressive structures rather than merely removing military presence.
