ABSTRACT
Discourses consist of analytics and practices. In this chapter I conduct a genealogical analysis of non-discursive practices defi ning Palestinian-Israeli relations. More specifi cally, I compare diachronically three Israeli practices vis-à-vis Palestinians in the periods 1967-1993 and 1993-2002: 1) Israel’s settlement enterprise, 2) Israeli attempts to produce “acceptable” interlocutors and 3) Israel’s proffering of initiatives ostensibly aimed at ending the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. These practices persisted despite the Oslo Process “breakthrough.”
