Separation in Israeli peace discourse functions to divide Palestinians from Jews

Evidence

In the particular context out of which I write here, Raz- Krakotzkin has suggested an original recasting of the concept of binationalism (borrowed in part from Hannah Arendt) in order to avoid what currently constitutes a dominant object of consensus that was already at the center of the Oslo accords: separation. Separation, as Raz-Krakotzkin explains it, is another name for “a kind of autonomy whose function is to separate the Palestinians from the Jews” (Raz-Krakotzkin, ”A Peace without Arabs,” 66). It also preserves (and aims to solidifY) the history I will try to describe here. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 785
