| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The PLO, the article attempts to prove, is dead, contributing to the withering of Palestinian diaspora political life. If true, the life and death of the PLO is rife with the paradox of substantiating the most basic of Zionist claims that reterritorialization and the withering of diaspora can only be perceived as a trade-off with a deterministic end in favour of political territoriality. Palestinians face the tragedy of being divided in the territory of contestation and are farther than ever from achieving statehood, while in the near abroad and beyond they are hardly in a position to form a trans-state community. |
