In “Israel, Palestine, and the Poetics of Genocide Updated,” Mark Levine and Eric Cheyfitz, taking into account the Post October 7th Israeli invasion of Gaza, revisit their 2017 essay “Israel, Palestine, and the Poetics of Genocide,” to focus on the question of the limits of the definition of genocide in the1948 Convention. While recognizing that Israel’s latest war on Gaza meets the definition of the 1948 Convention, dependent on scale and intent, the authors argue that an expanded, broader definition would better and more fully account for the incremental and structural genocides characteristic of settler colonialism, including Israel’s long-term rule over the territory of pre-1948 Palestine. Establishing a poetics that accounts for the longue durée structure and effects of Israeli policies in Gaza and across the Occupied Territories, their expanded definition builds on the eliminationist logic Patrick Wolfe's idea of “structural genocide.” While recognizing that “frontier homicide” is a component of structural genocide, they discuss additional, often non-lethal, components that work to eliminate Indigenous peoples as a group
