ABSTRACT

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 conflict. 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.
