“We will stay on our land as long as there is thyme and olives” Re-Making the Landscapes of Peace

Gaza and Palestine represent some of the oldest inhabited landscapes of the world. But Palestine and Gaza are no strangers to external control and indeed this is the source of the tenacity of the Palestinian people. The fact that it has hosted so many cultures and peoples stand as testament to its role as a Landscape of Peace throughout history. The preceding year of genocidal war on Gazan’s has brought us to consider a series of critical questions which expand on the idea of what a new landscape of peace could look like in Gaza. The key question is how we can make Gaza self-sufficient, resilient and safe for Gazan’s.
