Amira Hass on the Israeli Policy of Separate Development
January 17th, 2011 § 1 Comment
The great Amira Hass’s full Burke Lecture at UCSD from November 2010.
Amira Hass, an Israeli, moved to the Gaza Strip to cover the Palestinian side of the peace process for Israel’s oldest daily newspaper, Ha’aretz. She argues that over the past 20 years, Israel has placed the Palestinians under severe and complex movement restrictions, forcing them to live in disconnected and congested enclaves of limited self-rule. Perceived by many Israelis (and even Palestinians) as a coincidental process of ad hoc measures against terrorism, she has discovered a pattern at odds to both the Oslo accords and security considerations.
