Women and the Israeli Occupation - The Politics of Change (Paperback, New)

The state of Israel and the Palestinian nation are at an historic juncture. Respective representatives have recognized each other's right to exist, learning to conceive of a new "other". Both have a chance to claim a new future, but more than a quarter of a century of occupation has left a permanent mark on all societies. Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip created a relationship which, similar to that between colonizer and colonized, placed Israeli Jews in the position of the powerful, and Palestinians of the Occupied Territories, in the position of the powerless. This dichotomy of more than 26 years of occupation, has significant social, political, economic, cultural, psychological and moral ramifications for both men and women, both Israelis and Palestinians. This text analyzes the impact of the occupier/occupied unequal relationship on the lives of Palestinian and Jewish women. Exposing a set of previously unarticulated internal conflicts and differences, it also discusses those existing loyalties which have been reinforced as different groups of women have moved into public political action.
