Abstract
The current nadir to which the Israeli-Palestinian peace process has sunk raises new concerns as to the possibility of achieving a sustain able peace agreement between the parties. The renewed violence of the second Intifada has led many to interpret the Camp David negotia tions and follow-up meetings at Taba as a blink moment, in which both parties finally realized how much distance separates their bargain ing positions. The thousands of Palestinians and hundreds of Israelis killed in the last two and a half years of entrenched warfare demon strate how much destructive potential resides in the differential be tween these positions. Some critics of the Oslo process have concluded that the very notion of partition is fin de siecle1; a tired idea to be dis carded, since it has failed the world consistently since the British Peel Commission first proposed it in 1937 in its report on the irrepressible conflict.2
