"With this magic pill swallowed, Israel used the cover of the 'peace process' to build and expand Israeli settlements, correctly believing that these facts on the ground would strengthen their position at the negotiating table. And with the settlements came settlers and checkpoints and an expanding Kafkaesque system of military control."'
"The 'peace process' became a magic pill rendering the occupation invisible to the west, disguising its metastisizing, omnipresent and ever more violent form. Palestine was now reduced to a subject of “negotiation” requiring concessions, with the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine swept under the rug to be forgotten."
