Palestinian civilians engaged in numerous acts of unarmed
resistance during the second intifada. However, these attempts in
using non-violent strategies were frequently overshadowed by the
armed tactics of militant groups. Drawing from extensive
interviews, surveys, and observations in the West Bank, this book
provides an in-depth study of the often-overlooked aspects of
popular resistance in Palestine.
The book demonstrates how such unarmed tactics have considerable
support amongst the local population particularly when they are
framed as a strategy rather than just as a moral preference.
However, whilst recognizing the successes of many civil-based
initiatives, the author examines why a unified popular movement
never fully emerged. She argues that obstacles extended beyond
occupation policies to include political constraints from the
Palestinian Authority, and agenda-setting efforts from sectors of
the international community. Nevertheless, many activists continue
to work creatively through diverse channels and networks to broaden
the space for civil resistance.
Combining critical analysis with activist narratives and
community case studies, the book provides a comprehensive and
compelling look at non-violent activism in the second intifada,
offering a fresh perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
and illustrating both the challenges and opportunities in
mobilizing for popular struggle.
