The Critical Studies on Terrorism sub-discipline was created as a critical response to narratives of the Global War on Terror, to interrogate the 'productions and constructions of terrorism' and the violence that is perpetrated to counter it. In light of the current state and non-state violence occurring in Gaza, we re-open this conversation and reflect on the discursive power of the category 'terrorism' and the violence that it permits in response to it. This roundtable brings together scholars exploring different framings of terrorism that permeate national and international discussion on Gaza and Israel.
