Abstract

ABSTRACT Settler colonial theory has made a hugely significant contribution to the theorisation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but there is a danger that its application to the specific practice of security coordination could simply render the practice as an instrument of settler colonial rule. In this article, we would like to propose the important qualification that Coordination is, in practice, deeply conflicted and subject to multiple internal pressures, which extend from elites to public opinion. In accepting that Coordination can be appropriately viewed through a settler colonial lens, we would like to argue that it can also be viewed from ‘below’, and as an object of domestic political struggle that is implicated in legitimisation processes. Coordination is therefore simultaneously renounced and retained as part of the survival strategy of assorted elite groups. In order to demonstrate this, we reference Elite theory, interviews and online materials. Moreover, internal Palestinian divides suggest that opposition is more incomplete, partial and reactive within the neoliberal and settler colonial context.
安全协调中的精英与民众矛盾:克服以色列殖民者与被殖民巴勒斯坦人的二元区分
摘要定居者殖民理论为巴以冲突的理论化做出了巨大贡献,但将其应用于安全协调的具体实践可能会使其成为定居者殖民统治的工具。在这篇文章中,我们想提出一个重要的条件,即协调在实践中是深度冲突的,并受到从精英到舆论的多重内部压力。在接受协调可以通过定居者殖民主义的视角来适当看待时,我们想说,它也可以从“下面”来看待,并被视为与合法化进程有关的国内政治斗争的对象。因此,协调作为各类精英群体生存战略的一部分同时被放弃和保留。为了证明这一点,我们参考了精英理论、访谈和在线材料。此外,巴勒斯坦内部的分歧表明,在新自由主义和定居者殖民背景下,反对派更加不完整、片面和被动。
