Résumé

El objetivo de este artículo es revisar la cuestión del régimen de ciudadanía impuesto a los palestinos del 48 (ciudadanos palestinos de Israel) desde la perspectiva de la autodeterminación. Con ello, el artículo intenta alcanzar dos objetivos: primero, explicar cómo la negación del derecho a la autodeterminación a los palestinos del 48, mediante la Ley del Estado-Nación de 2018, forma parte de la lógica de eliminación del régimen colonial de Israel. El artículo concluye que la Ley del Estado-Nación marca un punto de inflexión en el proyecto colonial de asentamiento israelí, que degradó el estatus legal de los palestinos del 48, pasando de ciudadanos con ciudadanía colonial a residentes permanentes de facto en su patria. Esto, a su vez, explica cómo la negación de la autodeterminación a los palestinos del 48 refuerza la supremacía y la dominación judías, ampliando el alcance territorial del régimen de apartheid israelí hasta abarcar toda la zona comprendida entre el río Jordán y el mar Mediterráneo. En segundo lugar, el artículo intenta contextualizar la lucha de los palestinos del 48 dentro de una agenda emancipadora más amplia que desafía la eliminación política del pueblo palestino, impulsada mediante la fragmentación geográfica, jurídica y política de los palestinos.
