| Sumario: | 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. |
