One of the single most essential analyses of Israel's ongoing genocide in Palestine. Goes through the eugenic impulses that underscore every part of the Zionist project, from warfare-as-torture to bizarre pro-natalist actions to the restriction of mobility on personal and geographic levels.
At the same time, the book levies queerness and the abolition of settler colonial states as a locus of radical confrontation and departure from oppression.
I encourage anyone unsure about what's happening in Palestine right now to read this cover to cover. It's dense but deeply important.
