- Britisher in particular and European in general during the decolonisation took a path where theory divided the territory. Example india, Nigeria and palestine and among others.
- In 1937 Birtishers decided to settle the jews in the territory of palestine or divided palestine. It was not acceptable to palestine.
- After 1948 UN recognised Palestine and it some how forced israel not to have mass ethenic cleansing by the Israel to palestine.
- Since 1960’s a systematic cleansing was started where right of Palestinians were abducted.
- In 1992 Oslo accord based on the two nation theory came into effect on the pretext that USA and Egypt agreed for two nation theory.
- Now in 1995 Oslo-2 accord:- Westbank which is 60% now administered by the ISrael was to be divided but illigal jews settlement turned the equation.
- Last week conflict is the testimony to this.
-
- Why two state nation theory can’t be applicable according to author:-
-
-
- It doesn’t talk about the ethenic cleansing
- It presume that the movement in both the state is based on the nationalism
- It doenst ensure the right to palestinians
-
- Way forward:-
-
- The only alternative is to decolonise historical Palestine.
- dismantlement of colonialist institutions, fair redistribution of the country’s natural resources, compensation of the victims of the ethnic cleansing and allowing their repatriation
