How is the Jewish Question related to the Palestinian Question?
Images of horror from Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories are now familiar to Western readers but the meaning of these, despite and perhaps because of the flood of competing analyses, remains contentious to many. In this erudite and unsettling series of essays, renowned Columbia University Professor Joseph Massad asks and answers the key questions: What has been the main achievement of the Zionist movement? What accounts for the failure of the Palestinian National Movement to win its struggle against Israel? What do anti-Semitism, colonialism, and racism have to do with the Palestinian/Israeli conflict?
Dr Massad here proposes more than the usual review of the ideological and political histories of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. It is not in de-linking the Palestinian Question from the Jewish Question that a resolution can be found but by linking them as one and the same question. All other proposed solutions, the author argues, are bound to fail.
The book analyzes the failure of the peace process and proposes that a solution to the Palestinian Question will not be found unless settler-colonialism, racism, and anti-Semitism are abandoned as the ideological framework for a resolution. Individual essays further explore the struggle over Jewish identity in Israel and the struggle among Palestinians over what constitutes the Palestinian Question today.
This book will delight and discomfort many, offering a radical departure from mainstream analysis in order to expose the causes for the persistence of the Palestinian Question. Deeply researched and documented, The Persistence ofthe Palestinian Question is essential reading for those with interests in Middle East politics, Jewish studies, colonialism, and nationalism.
Joseph A. Massad is Associate Professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University. He is the author of Colonial Effects: The Makingof National Identity in Jordan (2001).

Terror is a name that is never assumed but always tendered. The taxonomy that transforms it from a practice into an identity is always particular. State power designates certain practices as terror and christens those who commit them as terrorists. Yet all subjects thus named do not accept their State-tendered names, and do not identify with them (there is, e.g. no Irish Terrorist Army, no African Terrorist Congress, and no Palestine Terror Organization). If the condition of identity is its having subjective and objective components (internalization and interpellation), terrorist identities remain contested terrains, controlled by an enemy who is in power and who controls the means of representation. While all subjective identities (sexual, racial, national, etc.) posit a self and an other as its opposite, objective identities are constituted similarly but from anothers subject position. In the case of the terrorist, it is the other, the enemy, and not the self, who defines the identity of the terrorist, specifying its self and its other. Since the State itself as enemy of terror defines the terrorists self, does it posit itself as the terrorists other? This applies just as much to the Superpower State that designates groups and weaker states as terrorists. Is this process nothing less than Nietzsches slave-morality at work, or is it the Hegelian telos of the journey of self-consciousness toward absolute freedom and terror, or, is it of a different order altogether? What exactly is the opposite of terror as a practice? Indeed, what is the opposite of the terrorist as identity?
