Young people have always been a key part of the
Palestinian resistance movement. Yet, since the de-
escalation of the second intifada the involvement of
youth in resistance has become predominantly
nonviolent. This work asks the question: why? Is it a
lack of leadership? Is it a sign of submission to
Israel s rule? Or is it that young Palestinians are
divided on the best way to resist? This work argues
that nonviolence is the result of the dominance by
default of the discourse of steadfastness. Young
Palestinians are confronted daily by myriad reasons
to reject the Israeli occupation. In particular, what
is perceived as the occupation forces deliberate
obstruction of the Palestinian educational system is
very deeply felt and a prevalent source of
frustration. Moreover, this short book argues that,
what might appear to outsiders as superficial
acceptance of the status quo (manifested as
nonviolence), cloaks the true level of
dissatisfaction and potential for re-emergent
violence in Palestine s next generation.
