Hollow Earth: The Architecture of the Israeli Occupation

Section : Political books

Publisher: Arab Network for Research

From the Gaza tunnels to the militarized space of the occupied territories, Eyal Weizmann reveals the mechanisms of Israeli control that turn Palestinian villages, towns, and roads into a trap in which natural and built features serve military ends. Weizmann traces the path of the development of this strategy, starting with the influence of archeology on urban planning, and the reformulation of the concept of defense by Ariel Sharon during the 1973 war, then through the planning of settlements and their architectural styles, all the way to the Israeli discourse and the implementation of civil war and assassinations directed from the air.
