This is a humbling thought, at once gratifying and sorrowful. And so it happened. In less than two weeks, a quarter of a century of peace processing came apart at the seams.
Resistance has no reference other than itself, and oppression.
The peace process is over and done with. Its basic logic was to adapt the Arabs to Israeli regional supremacy and the Palestinians to the status of a subject population. The mechanisms were complex as they were manifold. One need only recall the Arabs' peace strategy following the October War to realise how effectively they were divested of each and every negotiating card they believed they held. Above all, a lengthy time frame was needed for the growing weakness of the Arab and Palestinian parties to be not only achieved, but internalised and conceded.
