The Nakba, the Law, and What Lies In Between

Author Jehad Abu Salim

Jehad Abu Salim was born and grew up in Deir al-Balah city in the Gaza
Strip. Jehad attended Al-Azhar University in Gaza, receiving his Bachelor’s
degree in Business Administration. Afterwards, he attended the Islamic
University-Gaza where he received a diploma in the Hebrew language.
Since the fall of 2013, Jehad has been a PhD candidate at New York University for the joint program in Hebrew and Judaic Studies and History. His research focuses on the influence of the Nakba on the Gaza Strip and how it radically changed the political, social, demographic, and economic realities of Gaza.

Gaza, From Fence to Fence

Jehad Abu Salim: For Palestinians, the fence around the Gaza Strip evokes the Nakba, the refugee struggle, and the occupation. The fence, as a physical barrier to refugee return, was the beginning of the tragedy. The fence today is its continuation. And since the fence caused the problem, the solution must include its removal. The fence is the history that Palestinians in Gaza never want to forget, and no amount of aid can induce them to do so.
