A Bottle in the Gaza Sea and the 8 Stages of Genocide

In A Bottle in the Gaza Sea,  stages of Genocide are represented. In the book, groups of Palestinians are separated by the land of Israel, this would represent Polarization, which is when people are separated from each other and from the rest of society, this can also be seen as Preparation for when the bomb the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, or kill their residency. Another stage of Genocide is Classification and Symbolization, meaning that they are classified and forced to do other things. In the book, they are classified as Terrorists because their government is Hamas, whom are classified as terrorists in the U.S. They, the Palestinians, are forced to drive cars with Palestinian license plates and to cross check points the have to have the right paper work and be searched.
