The Permanence of the Palestinian Question

The author employs the historical method and his textual critical skills to explain the events he experienced over the past decade and a half, which fall within the larger event of the colonization of Palestine and its effects on both the colonizer and the colonized. He rejects any logical or historical equivalence between them as “two parties,” including the discourse on a peace process. While the primary concern of these articles is deconstructing the Zionist discourse on the Jewish question itself, its treatment of the Palestinians, and its racist settler-colonial product in Palestine, he does not hesitate to direct criticism (not blame) at the victim, and at the distorted awareness produced by its relationship with the colonizer among intellectuals and parasitic groups coexisting with the cause, and then at the peace process. The book restores the prestige of concepts that were cast aside during the decline of the Palestinian national project, considering them mere slogans. It proves that casting them aside means being governed by ideology and submission to power relations, and that it is absolutely impossible to understand what is happening without the conceptual tools represented by racism, settler-colonialism, apartheid, liberation, and others. It restores their prestige in understanding a colonial reality that cannot be understood without them, and ignoring them requires blinding oneself to it and distorting reality and the self.
