"International law can be accurately and fairly described as a derivative of a colonial order and therefore structurally detrimental to former colonies, peoples still under colonial domination and individuals who lack nationality or who, like refugees, have been forcibly removed from their state and can no longer invoke its protection."-Noura Erakat, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine
"Israel's establishment in 1948 realized Jewish Zionist settler sovereignty in Palestine. And its acceptance as a UN member state normalized the sovereign exception, justifying the erasure of Palestinian peoplehood. The 1948 war and the demographic and territorial shifts it engendered, were the culmination of a process that had begun at least three decades before. The transformation of Palestine into Israel helps illustrate international laws utility in advancing settler colonial ambitions and in consolidating their gains."-Noura Erakat, Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine
