Israel's Colonial Impasse
Abstract: 

 

Far from causing the impasse currently blocking the road to Israeli-Palestinian peace, the policy of Ariel Sharon's government simply highlights and resoundingly confirms it. Indeed, impasse has been the inevitable destination of the policy followed by Israeli governments ever since the Oslo agreement was signed in Washington on 13 September 1993.
