ABSTRACT
Palestinian-Israeli debates on the future of the confl ict As stated in the beginning of this book, the theoretical analytical tool of the production of colonial space developed in this research provides a critical knowledge on the evaluation of the different colonial temporal phases whether colonial, post-colonial, or after-colonial processes. This section uses this theoretical analytical tool to examine existing political debates on potential ‘solutions’ to the Palestinian-Israeli confl ict. These are reviewed in terms of their relation within the Israeli Zionist settler colonial project, under the three categories of production of space: the perceived, the conceived and the lived. Thus, the implications upon the Israeli and Palestinian perceived, conceived and lived spaces provide a framework to re-read how these scenarios reproduce space. It also determines whether the space produced is for appropriation or domination/control and subsequently destruction under the guise of a political solution.
