And as Israeli border police demonstrated on 30 May 2020, such a ‘late’ body with its impaired communication and social skills, is only fit to die. Eyad Al-Hallaq was not just ‘disabled’ by his autistic body but also by his racialised body. The ruthless Israeli border police therefore had no second thoughts before emptying out a bevy of bullets into this doubly disabled body of a 32-year-old Palestinian man.</p> ER -
