About this audiobook

Why can extensive knowledge of injury coexist with institutions capable of sustaining the conduct that produces it? In this Listener’s Edition, Bichara Sahely examines Gaza through two linked domains of power: control over material conditions of life, and control over whether evidence can change decisions. Drawing on judicial findings, Palestinian and medical investigations, corporate and official records, and documented influence operations, the paper develops the hypothesis of selective institutional responsiveness. It connects protection, accountability, Palestinian agency, the epistemic commons and twelve leverage points for accountable transition. This audio-first edition preserves the full argument while translating three tables into spoken prose. Citations, references and print apparatus remain in the scholarly edition.
