Neoliberal Globalization Meets Settler Colonialism: The Case of the Jerusalem Light Rail
In my essay, Neoliberal Globalization Meets Settler Colonialism: The Case of the Jerusalem Light Rail, I analyze the role of the Jerusalem Light Rail (JLR) as a mechanism of Israeli settler colonialism in East Jerusalem. The paper investigates how the JLR serves as a tool for territorial control, connecting Israeli settlements while displacing Palestinian communities and reinforcing Israel’s authority over East Jerusalem.
