The Trump Administration’s “Deal of the Century” proposes to cantonize the West Bank, effectively giving “Area C” to Israel for the purposes of consolidating and providing permanence to major settlement blocs. The “deal” (constituted with virtually no input from Palestinians) in many ways acknowledges and codifies a process of expanding colonization of Palestinian land that has been under way for a century, but has ramped up in intensity. This colonization has not been without efforts at resistance from Palestinian and solidarity organizations. Through the combined lenses of “settler colonial studies” and the “theory of access” this paper seeks to analyze the modes of resistance. We find that Palestinians and allies use a diverse set of non-violent strategies to maintain presence and control land resources in the face ongoing efforts by Israeli and affiliated actions to expropriate land and resources. These include: land reclamation efforts so that Ottoman and British law cannot be invoked as rationale for land confiscation on the grounds that land has been abandoned; documentation of the ongoing colonization and violations of existing legal frameworks and norms; international solidarity – peace teams and accompaniment to witness, document, and accompaniment of Palestinians under threat of land expropriation and eviction; Palestinian community level mobilization to contest processes of colonization and expropriation; historical processes of place making, contestation, and creation of environmental imaginaries. Despite overwhelming power imbalances, these strategies play a key role in slowing Israeli processes of confiscation and expropriation.
