The Fragility of Security in Zone C

The construction of homes in Zone C of the West Bank highlights the precariousness of security for Palestinians. Individuals work their entire lives to build their homes, only to face the constant threat of demolition by settlers, underscoring the lack of legal rights and citizenship. This instability leads to a disconnection from material possessions, as one resident expressed contentment despite losing his home, demonstrating a profound understanding of the impermanence of worldly claims. This mindset reveals that true ownership and security can be an illusion, emphasizing that the entire world, in many ways, mirrors Zone C’s unpredictability.
