The New York Times carries an article today looking at the border wall between Israel and the West Bank. The piece reveals the influence of Brigadier General Shimon Navez on the Israeli strategy. Navez, it turns out, is influenced by Deleuze, the Situationists, and George Bataille, among others and is advocating that although the wall be removed, air surveillance be used to achieve control on the West Bank. But as the pro-Israeli and anti-theoretical New York Times tends to do, the article tantalizes with this information but doesn’t go far enough. The article also briefly touches on the criticism of Eyal Weizman, one of the most important writers in architecture today. Read the article here. Read an interview with Weizman by Sina Najafi and Jeffrey Kastner at Cabinet Magazine.
