Neuware - The highly individualized essays of Gaza Rising: Voices from the Rubble share a basic message that years ago was issued by a respected Palestinian civil society organization, 'We Are Not Numbers.' While an informative portrayal of Palestinian suffering by reporting casualties as divided among children, women, seniors, and the disabled may be a more concrete demographic profile of victimization, this breakdown of casualties nonetheless only amounts to a more detailed abstraction, while continuing to remain aloof from the individuation of the experience of every single Palestinian. What Gaza Rising contributes is an existential rendering of genocide as imparted by autobiographical storytelling as the only acceptable way to experience the unspeakable. This is much more than a metaphor for Gazans. Gaza Rising provides a cohering tapestry of salient and diverse personal experiences, concrete existential stories of a series of richly textured lives of people subject to the lethal stresses of an ongoing genocide that has lasted over two years. As the authors gathered in this volume shared the daily realities of genocide as lived experience, memory assumes a crucial role in mitigating what has been lost by way of devastation. Anecdotes drawn from this unfolding genocide preserve 'the presence' of lost or mutilated children or of parents, family life, friendships, joyous recollections of marriages and births, and celebrating martyrs, what Abu Kan'an aptly calls 'beautiful moments.' At the same time, the experience of genocide is not sugar-coated by sentimentality. This book sheds light on the power of the Palestinian people of Gaza emanating from the voices of its own intellectuals, journalists, doctors, teachers, civil defense workers, artists, and community leaders. These powerful accounts illuminate Gazans' struggles and unwavering commitment to persist as a people against all odds, facing the future with enduring solidarity and unshakeable resolve. Truly, can Palestine ever, then, be extinguished.…

By 2006 Gaza had morphed into the biggest open air prison in the world. Israel imposed a siege on the Gaza Strip after its people democratically elected Hamas, a government Israel did not like. The Strip was punished and put under land siege and sea blockade. Any resistance was met by the full force of the Israeli army.
Israel has launched major wars on Gaza since 2008, bombarding it from the air, land and sea. These were not acts of retaliation; rather, they reflected a policy of incremental genocide meant to wipe out the Gaza Strip entirely as part of the ethnic cleansing policies of Israel, as is settler colonial states' practice of replacing the native inhabitants.
Starting on October 7, 2023, the latest assault on Gaza has been the most catastrophic by far. Unlike previous wars, which incrementally made Gaza, per United Nations estimates, 'unlivable', the latest war has aimed at erasing the Gazan population completely. As of December 30, 2024, the Wall Street Journal reported that 70 percent of residential areas of Gaza had been damaged or destroyed, rendering nearly the entire population of the Strip homeless.
In this process, every hospital in the Strip has either been bombed, shelled, raided, or shut down. Every sector of Palestinian society has been targeted, and in some cases completely wrecked. Aside from the healthcare system, this ruin has also struck the educational system, food distribution centers, commercial hubs, police stations, civil defense headquarters, religious institutions, government offices, and even art galleries, libraries, museums, zoos, and animal shelters.
How can a population remain steadfast in the face of this unprecedented erasure of all manifestations of their existence? What drives their unyielding spirit?
This book sheds light on the power of the Palestinian people of Gaza emanating from the voices of its own intellectuals, journalists, doctors, teachers, civil defense workers, artists, and community leaders. These powerful accounts illuminate Gazans' struggles and unwavering commitment to persist as a people against all odds, facing the future with enduring solidarity and unshakeable resolve.
Truly, can Palestine ever, then, be extinguished?
