The size and intensity of the Israeli army's operations since 2000
as well as the unprecedented scale of settlement construction
brought about a qualitative change in the relationship between
Palestinians and Israelis, altering it, Klein argues, from a border
conflict to an ethnic struggle, pure and simple. Jewish Israel has
now established its ethno-security regime over the whole area, from
Jordan to the Mediterranean, a process that was accelerated and
facilitated by election results in Israel, the United States and
the Palestinian Authority. Arguing against the prevailing wisdom,
which describes Israel's control system as merely one of
'occupation', in The Shift Klein contends that it is based now on
twin ethnic and security pillars and seeks to include Israeli
citizens of Palestinian origin. The core of his book examines the
current ruling structure of the shrinking Jewish majority over the
almost majority Palestinians and its different levels: Israeli
Palestinian citizens, the residents of Jerusalem, the two West Bank
groups divided by the Separation Barrier and those living under
siege in the Gaza Strip. The Shift is based on primary sources and
data that usually are published separately. Klein weaves them into
his ground-breaking book, offering the reader a comprehensive
portrayal of the on-the-ground realities and providing a new
framework for understanding the status of the durable
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its history, and its likely future
course.
