Since the start of the occupation of Palestinian territories in
1967, Israel's domination of the Palestinians has deprived an
entire population of any political status or protection. But even
decades on, most people speak of this ruleOCoboth in everyday
political discussion and in legal and academic debatesOCoas
temporary, as a state of affairs incidental and external to the
Israeli regime. In "The One-State Condition," Ariella Azoulay and
Adi Ophir directly challenge this belief.
Looking closely at the history and contemporary formation of the
ruling apparatusOCothe technologies and operations of the Israeli
army, the General Security Services, and the legal system imposed
in the Occupied TerritoriesOCoAzoulay and Ophir outline the
one-state condition of Israel/Palestine: the grounding principle of
Israeli governance is the perpetuation of differential rule over
populations of differing status. Israeli citizenship is shaped
through the active denial of Palestinian citizenship and civil
rights.
Though many Israelis, on both political right and left, agree that
the occupation constitutes a problem for Israeli democracy, few
ultimately admit that Israel is no democracy or question the very
structure of the Israeli regime itself. Too frequently ignored are
the lasting effects of the deceptive denial of the events of 1948
and 1967, and the ways in which the resulting occupation has
reinforced the sweeping militarization and recent racialization of
Israeli society. Azoulay and Ophir show that acknowledgment of the
one-state "condition" is not only a prerequisite for considering a
one- or two-state "solution"; it is a prerequisite for advancing
new ideas to move beyond the trap of this false dilemma."
