Urbicide the City of Gaza

Abstract

At 7 October Gaza city is being subjected to genocide as a result of the angry reaction, with most of the victims were childrenand women. South Africa submit a request to the International Court of Justice in a case entitled “Application of theConvention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel)”.Acceptance indicates the validity of the request. Urbicide the city is one of the methods used by the colonial authorities toredesign the urban environment, by demolishing homes, public buildings, infrastructure, hospitals, open spaces and evenzoos, which would be a reformulation of the Palestinian narrative from the Israeli perspective. The study methodology isbased on analyzing the Urbicide concept . which is done through understanding the phenomena, analyzing them, andcomparing them with similar cases. This is done by analyzing some of the military objectives carried out during the war onurban, architectural, historical, governmental and community sites in Gaza. The place was destroyed, the population wasdispersed, the features of the city changed, the infrastructure disappeared, and hope became a mere mirage. The extent ofthe interrelation between the urbicide and genocide is become clear.
