Occupied Palestinian Territory: Social Contract under Occupation?

In a situation of persistent exceptional rules, military occupation & limited autonomy, the social contract has first of all an ambivalent nature. Knowledge is placed under domination, Zionists are making out of Palestine a “vanishing landscape”, the borders have not been drawn and the national resources are out of national control, in addition the PA does not represent ALL Palestinians. All that makes the autonomy illusory. Above all, this political asymmetry makes the social contract absolutely ambivalent..

Possible Alternative:

a move back to the roots of the Palestinian struggle for justice & equality... we need a new movement to ensure the organization and systematization of a knowledge that is already present in the masses & to advance the replacement of former conditions with a new collective will based on rights and not on political motives and the narrow interests of this or that faction!..
