Abstract

After critiquing what have become the main axes of political debate in the occupied territories-suicide bombings, armed operations, and reform-the author emphasizes the imperative need for a comprehensive, inclusive resistance strategy. Elaborating upon five major ingredients that must be taken into account when developing a sound strategy-cost to the adversary, cost to Palestinian society, political discourse, a clear message to the adversary, and a clear message to the world-he argues that in the present phase a resistance strategy is not at odds with state building, and that the two should be pursued in tandem.
