Políticas de exterminio y presente colonial en los Territorios Palestinos Ocupados. Diaz Gómez, Fernando Sinuhé Infancias Territorios palestinos ocupados Presente colonial Políticas de exterminio Geografías imaginarias Childhoods Occupied Palestinian Territories Colonial Present Extermination Policies Imagined Geographies This article analyzes how hate speech by Israeli political figures, such as far-right lawmaker Ayelet Shaked, forms part of a dehumanizing rhetoric directed against the Palestinian people. These expressions are rooted in a Zionist tradition that justifies colonialism and has given rise to systematic policies of violence, particularly targeting children in Gaza and the West Bank. Drawing on the concept of the “colonial present” developed by geographer Derek Gregory, the text argues that, since the year 2000, Israel has implemented extermination policies that have intensified under the framework of the global war on terror. Within this context, the article seeks to demonstrate how these policies specifically and devastatingly impact Palestinian children, constituting an ongoing process of extermination in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Es articulo analiza cómo las declaraciones de odio de figuras políticas israelíes, como la diputada Ayelet Shaked, forman parte de una retórica deshumanizante dirigida contra el pueblo palestino. Estas expresiones se inscriben en una tradición del sionismo que justifica el colonialismo y ha dado pie a políticas sistemáticas de violencia, especialmente contra las infancias en Gaza y Cisjordania. Apoyándose en la noción de “presente colonial” del geógrafo Derek Gregory, el texto argumenta que, desde el año 2000, Israel ha implementado políticas de exterminio que se intensificaron bajo la lógica de la guerra global contra el terrorismo. En este marco, el artículo busca demostrar cómo estas políticas afectan de manera específica y devastadora a los niños y niñas palestinos, configurando un proceso de exterminio en los Territorios Palestinos Ocupados.
