paper, Jansen and Osterhammel present five models for categorizing and analyzing the historical process across contexts: the transfer of power model, the model of national liberation, the neocolonialism model, the unburdening model, and the world politics model.35 Each model offers a broad description of how political authority came to be vested in the hands of the formerly colonized peoples stressing different primary actors or forces in this process.36 In many instances, as the names of the models suggest, the process of decolonization was largely dictated by the colonial powers and their interests as a result of economic and political factors.37 The model of national liberation stands out from the others in terms of the central role of the colonized peoples in their liberation and as a result, this model is the most applicable to the Palestine case. Jansen and Osterhammel describe the national liberation model of decolonization as “the toppling of alien rule based on violence by native liberation movements aiming to unite their nation and availing themselves of a broad spectrum of means, from peaceful negotiation to boycott to armed struggle.”38 Given the pervasiveness and entrenchment of Zionist-Israeli domination in all aspects of Palestinian life, it follows that Palestinians will need to develop and employ diverse strategies to effectively dismantle the different policies that make up the Israeli colonial-apartheid regime. In addition, central to this model is the notion that “[l]iberal or reform-oriented tendencies or a readiness on the part of the colonizers to relinquish control are generally considered as secondary or as a means to defuse anticolonial resistance.”39 In the Palestine context, it is unlikely that the colonizers will give up their power and privileges willingly since doing so would mean the end of a ‘Jewish state,’ Zionism’s express purpose and goal. 35 Jan C.
