Matrix of Control

While supposedly negotiating the end to the Occupation and the emergence of a Palestinian state, Israel has continued to develop a Matrix of Control over the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem through land expropriation, settlement expansion, the construction of exclusively 'Israeli' roads, an economic closure and the creation of controlling "facts" on the ground. The dismantling of the Matrix of Control is the key to achieving a just peace.

Counter-Rhetoric

Counter Rhetoric cover


COUNTER-RHETORIC
By Emily Schaeffer, Jeff Halper & Jimmy Johnson
£1.75 incl p & p

Resolving conflict requires the development of a ‘common understanding’.  What divides us is an interpretation of facts where particular meaning is embroidered onto situations over time.  This becomes overlaid until it creates an impregnable wall of rhetoric that creates ‘fundamentally divergent perceptions.’  These assumptions regarding the present conflict result in an unbreachable schism from which no solution can be found.

This useful little book does two things.  It challenges the rhetoric, the perceptions and assumptions regarding the conflict in Israel/Palestine, and it exposes the underlying imbalance of power around which this rhetoric swirls.  It is both useful as a historical guide and as a tool for countering the prevailing divisive rhetoric.

Whether challenging the concepts embedded in Zionism, the wars of the mid 20th century and the later occupation, or the ‘Wall as security’ argument,  this book gives a systematic alternative to the prevailing mantra’s and begins the process of changing the viewing of the conflict.
