The book emphasizes the necessity of understanding the historical context to grasp the current situation. It argues that the Oslo Accords, while presented as a path to peace, have instead perpetuated and even solidified existing power imbalances between Palestinians and Israelis. By analyzing the historical trajectory leading to the present, the book aims to illuminate a path towards genuine equality and a departure from the existing oppression.

Featuring insights from experts in anthropology, economics, law, political science, and sociology, the book offers a multifaceted exploration of the impacts of the Oslo Accords. This interdisciplinary approach allows for a nuanced understanding of how this 'peace' has been experienced differently across various geographical and political settings, highlighting the complexity of the situation beyond simplistic narratives.

While acknowledging the ongoing struggles and challenges, the book maintains a sense of cautious optimism by exploring potential avenues for a more just and equitable future. It examines emerging forms of resistance, interaction, and mobilization that challenge the status quo and offer glimpses of hope for a future where oppression and violence are replaced by genuine peace and equality.
