“Overshadowed by the tragic events in Gaza, and the mounting Palestinian civilian death toll from Israeli bombardments, are the new political formations that are emerging,” says Rebecca Stein, a cultural anthropologist and media scholar at Duke University. “The geography of Palestinian struggle has dramatically shifted, bringing Palestinians from Haifa and Gaza into the same political frame. All this is challenging a history of Israeli state efforts to fracture the Palestinian people.”
