Summary
Author of ‘Unparallel Universes: Iran and Israel’s One-state Solution’ (Global Society, 25, 3, 2011, pp. 353-376), cited twice by Lorenzo Veracini: for the critique of the one-state/two-state (‘1S2S’) debate and for the ‘Nakbaic conjuncture’ imaginings in current Israeli public discourse (The Other Shift: Settler Colonial Studies and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, PDF p.4, note 5; PDF p.12, note 19).
Details
- Behar’s delineation, as Veracini presents it: the ‘1S2S’ debate should take account of what happens outside the conceptual and geographical boundaries set by its parameters; supporters of what Behar defines as the ‘one-ethnically-cleansed-state solution’ have never been so powerful, and regional developments could present the opportunity for enacting a further ‘transfer’ of substantial segments of the Palestinian population (PDF p.4, note 5 / printed p.3).
- Behar’s conclusion, quoted at p. 360 of his article: the 1S2S exchange, however critical, engaging and stimulating, “in practical terms it remains utterly esoteric once juxtaposed with ongoing material politics free from doses of wishful thinking” (PDF p.4, note 5).
- Note 19 points to Behar’s article, especially pp. 364-367, for the substantial evidence of ‘Nakbaic conjuncture’ imaginings in current Israeli public discourse (PDF p.12, note 19 / printed p.11).
