Zionism as Settler Colonialism. Reframing the Debate on Israel/Palestine
Keywords:
Settler Colonialism, Decolonization, One-State Solution, Palestine, Israel
Abstract
Settler colonialism has long been at the center of the Palestine Liberation Organization's understanding of Zionism, providing the theoretical basis for the proposal of a unitary, democratic and non-sectarian state in historic Palestine. The Oslo Accords reversed this trend, promoting a discourse centered on conflict resolution, coexistence and the "two people-two states" solution. The recent consolidation of Settler Colonial Studies as an academic field, led to a powerful resurgence of settler colonialism as the interpretive framework for understanding Zionism and decolonization as the solution to the Palestine question.
