Summary
One of the “new Israeli sociologists” whose work, in The Political Economy of Israeli Occupation: What is Colonial about It?, was key in showing the importance of the colonisation perspective for understanding Israeli society and history, emphasising the Zionist project as a colonial project tied to land acquisition and demographic control (The Political Economy of Israeli Occupation: What is Colonial about It?, PDF p.1).

- Works cited: Land, Labour and the Origins of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 1883-1914 (1989) and “Zionism and Colonialism: A Comparative Approach”, in Pappe (ed.), The Israel/Palestine Question (1999) (note 4).
- Farsakh argues directly against Shafir’s characterisation of the Oslo years as a period of “‘partial decolonization’”: Oslo, she argues, “sewed a new form of colonial domination” rather than bringing about partial decolonisation (PDF p.2, note 7).
