Nowhere Is Safe in Gaza

A book-length erasure poem that takes as its source text South Africa's application to the International Court of Justice charging Israel with violations of the Genocide Convention.

In Nowhere is safe in Gaza, Feisal G. Mohamed distills and amplifies the human experience at the heart of this legal text, highlighting the plight of Palestinians on the ground and the openly stated intentions of Israeli officials. Through the use of erasure techniques, the language of bureaucracy fades into the background, allowing Palestinian voices to hit us with their full expressive force.
