ABSTRACT
This conclusion chapter presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapter of this book. The book framed the problem in terms of biopolitics and demography, on the one hand, and state security and control of territory in the context of Palestine's colonial experience, on the other. It explored the ideological bases of Zionism's brand of settler colonialism along several fronts. The book further demonstrated that the brutal conduct of the Israeli regime toward the Palestinians in the occupied territories and in the refugee camps of neighbouring Arab countries gives lie to the claim by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others that the Israeli army is 'the most moral army in the world'. Finally, the book highlighted several aspects of the Palestinian experience as a colonised population, both in the occupied Palestinian territories and in Israel proper.
