ABSTRACT
The time required for the fabrication of an 'outbreak' is part and parcel of regime-made disaster, and evidence that it lacks the crucial component of the first type of disaster, where the duty to contend with this kind of disaster is presented as totally uncontroversial. In 1948, the Israeli regime began to demolish houses and has not stopped since. The massive destruction of 200,000 houses cannot be measured by the justification, as it were, of each specific case. This is a regime project as a whole, the intrinsic structure of the polis – its infra-destructure. In the Israeli context, then, the discussion of injured cities must deal with the deformed polis, for there is hardly any injured Israeli city whose injury is not an effect of a deformed body politic and the naturalisation of the regime-made disaster that is shaping it continuously.
