שלילת אזרחות — על שני הפנים של ההפיכה המשטרית: הקולוניאלי והסמכותני

This article delineates the relationship between the colonial control over Palestinians and the authoritarian overhaul, showing how Israel’s activities against Palestinians in Israel/Palestine and the Judicial Reform against the institutions of ‘rule of law’ are two parts of the same regime change: colonial and authoritarian.The article tracks the colonial regime change as a sequence of changes in the institution of citizenship: from the Counter-Terrorism law and the Nation-statelaw, through the transfer of practices for surveillance and control of Palestinians to Jewish citizens, to the denaturalization of Palestinian citizens of Israel and the annexation of the West Bank. Citizenship is the intersection between the two facets of the regime change. The struggle for the liberal citizenship of Jews within Israel right as Palestinians are stripped off their citizenship underscores how Colonial Israel can thrive alongside liberal Israel through the rule of law that separates the two regimes. The attack on the liberal rule of law and the separation of powers renders the separation between the two regimes as impossible. Therefore,the authoritarian move to constrain the judiciary and hollow out its power is away to fortify the gains of the colonial regime moves towards the stripping of Palestinians’ citizenship.
