  "summary": "Eyal Weizman, a renowned architect and author, reflects on his personal connection to Israeli privilege while dedicating his life's work to dismantling it. As the founder of Forensic Architecture, Weizman's evidence has played a pivotal role in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. In his latest book, \"Ungrounding,\" Weizman traces the roots of Gaza's destruction back to the Nakba of 1948, arguing that the ongoing destruction is not a sudden rupture but a continuation of decades-long dispossession. In an interview with Mohamed Hashem, Weizman discusses the establishment of Forensic Architecture, the central thesis of his book, and the challenges of reconciling his Israeli identity with his advocacy for change.",
