ABSTRACT
The notion of resistance has received considerable attention in the recent literature on surveillance and organization studies. During the sixty-seven years of the Zionist colonial project in Palestine, Palestinians have developed different types of military and civil non-violent resistance. Literature on Palestinian resistance discourse is mostly theoretical and based on limited anecdotal case studies, most of which are presented from a Western point of view. In Nablus, during Operation Defensive Shield, six out of the nine schools in and around Nablus Old City were subject to destruction. Colonial and post-colonial theory is built around the concept of resistance, of resistance as subversion, or opposition, or mimicry. The work of Jeffress brings new insights to the definition of resistance that goes beyond resistance-as-subversion and resistance-as-opposition. In the rhizomes of the tent villages' movement of Bab Alshams, it is possible to see the foreshadowing of another world that can be also echoed in the Tahrir, Indignados and Occupy movements in the world.
