4. ‘Tunnel Vision’ Eyan Weizman on Israel’s multidimensional warfare

We are including this piece by Eyal Weizman of Forensic Architecture because it illustrates so powerfully two parallel universes; the complete disjuncture between the chillingly ‘abstract’ military strategy he describes in both Gaza and in the West Bank and its lethal impacts as well as the terrifying and visceral impacts on those Palestinian families surviving to bear testimony. It also highlights how, for many of us therapists, the work of Deleuze and Guattari has been inspirational and their concepts, including that of rhyzomes, so useful in understanding processes of connectivity. It is particularly disturbing to see these ideas appropriated to such monstrous, perverted and inhuman ends.
