Furthermore,is it easier to govern a camp when it has reached slum-like conditions?
yes it is. When the Polis is undermined, the public and the private intersect, and the infrastructure rots, subjugation becomes easier.

Residents' regional identity was being diluted in favour of homogenisationm because it is easier to weaken then control one group rather than forty.

keeping the camp ‘private,’ by making sure no internalorganization among the refugees was permitted
Keep the camp in a "private" state so as not to allow the creation of a "polis", a public space where organized political movement may be possible (Abreek, 2015).
In addition, maintaining the refugees’ status assuch enabled Jordan to control them, on the other hand, and perpetuated theinternational community’s economic and other responsibilities for them, whichmade their management easier for the relatively poor kingdom
Easier to control as one entity devoid of a sense of national belonging
UNRWA created a working definition of ‘refugee’ to determineeligibility for relief: ‘a person who has lost his home and means of livelihood as aresult of the hostilities, and who had lived in (what is now) Israel for two yearsbefore 1948.
Interactionist perspective: UNRWA defined setting a definition for the Palestinian refugee as a "person who has lost his home and means of livelihood" and cited the reason for this loss as "hostilities". UNRWA never clearly defined what these hostilities were and who created them. They were ready to victimize Palestinian refugees but not to criminalize the actions of their Israeli colonizers.
converting [residents’] economic power towards serving the newly allocated services.
Removal of old residents, replacement, to fit a new theme. Old residents are deemed lesser, incompatible, and require extermination.
The criminalization of residents
Their criminalization reduces their class from citizen to none-citizen, homo sacer,
a lack of transparency and community involvement does not only put residents at a disadvantage, but it can also lead to insecurity amid escalating conflicts between residents, developers, and authorities
Lack of transparency is a weapon used by organized governmental mafias like the Land Reclamation Commission.
According to the earlier discussion, the physical and social destruction of theArab residents, exclusion from their homes in Palestine, as well as from theneighboring Arab cities – from both ‘public’ spheres – and the emergence of the‘refugee’
Refugee status equation: exclusion from public sphere(internally and externally)+prohibition of private sphere = delineation and refugee status.
Nihilistic actions not only delineated the creation anddevelopment of the camps, but are themselves processes that led to paradoxicalsituations, veritably positioning the camps on the borderline between the‘private’ and the ‘public’ spheres
Camps exist in a gray area between private and public spheres
paradoxical
Political scientists and sociologists love this word
Only then do they become homo sacer inthe sense implied by ancient Roman law: destined to die, with their life defined as‘bare’ (Agamben 1995).

re. During this period, Agamben began to elaborate his primary concerns, although their political bearings were not yet made explicit. In 1974–1975 he was a fellow at the Warburg Institute, University of London, due to the courtesy of Frances Yates, whom he met through Italo Calvino. During this fellowship, Agamben began to develop his seco

Parentification at play: children forced to mature more quickly

Self-efficacy does not imply hope: the children believe that they have abilities to adapt to their tough environment, but that does not mean that they have hope to change the system (overthrow apartheid)

The creation of the diaspora was forced, not a natural extension of the financial or cultural ambitions of a few select Palestinians
Refugee children consider Nakba as a traumatic experience which negatively affected the future of all Palestinians in general
The Nakba continues to have a prolonged effect on the Palestinian generations that followed, and is not exclusive to one generation
