The Problem with the Process

by Yousef Munayyer Aug 5, 2013

In the past 20 years alone, the number of Israeli settlers has tripled, far outpacing the growth rate of the rest of the Israeli population. The Israeli government continues to create financial incentives for Israelis to move to settlements and spend billions on a defense apparatus to secure their livelihood there. Most recently, the Israeli government advanced plans to build a massive railway network throughout the West Bank.

Despite this, successive Israeli governments have claimed that they are interested in peace and that they want to negotiate with Palestinians to come to a settlement based on a two-state solution. In short, while Israeli talk suggests the occupation is a temporary enterprise, Israeli actions make it clear that it is anything but.
