الملخص

Many are the studies on colonial settlement, peace, conflicts, and conflict transformation, but rare are the comparative studies in these areas. This comparative study sheds light on two areas: peace and colonial settlement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Northern Ireland, on the one hand, and the impact of peace on colonial settlement in the two compared areas, on the other. In this regard, this study has a distinguishing mark, especially as the Arabic studies are concerned, since many are the researches and books deal with the impact of colonial settlement on peace but not the impact of peace on colonial settlement. Hence, it is essential to clarify the difference between settlement and colonial settlement. Settlement is a humanitarian right that enables human beings to move from a place to another place and settle in, taking it as a homeland, without destroying the lives and properties. Colonial settlement usurps the natives their own land, kill them and expel them whether inside or outside the usurped homeland. This is the typical tragedy happened with Irish in the early 12th century and the same tragedy was repeated with the Palestinian people in the 20th century. Axiomatically, facts on the ground tell that the Oslo agreements have strengthened the colonial Israeli settlement, which leads to say that it is an anti-Palestinian peace and pro-Israeli peace. But, the Good Friday Agreement has created relatively some quietness and stability between the natives and the settlers in Northern Ireland, whose Catholic-Protestant community is going through conflict transformation process to achieve social justice for all, trying to cure form the history of bloody conflict.It goes without saying that the peace process in the OPT is really still born, but the peace in Northern Ireland has many opportunities to survive and to enable the Irish Catholic demography reunite again in one homeland: the Isle of Ireland. The right of referendum is guaranteed for the people of Northern Ireland to unite in the future with the South or to stay with the United Kingdom, but the Palestinian people have been deprived from the right of referendum by their Palestinian leadership before and after the signing of the Oslo agreements, which means the alienation of the Palestinian people from the participation in the decision-making process. This alienation means the disrespect of the Palestinian people by their Palestinian leadership, who still monopolizes the decision-making. Ultimately, this has empowered the position of the different Israeli occupation governments in negotiations to continue the expansion of Settlement. When all is said about the Oslo agreements, a major question arises: is there a possibility that the Palestinian leadership has realized, when signing these agreements, their catastrophic ends against the Palestinian people and constants? Why has not this leadership envisaged that these agreements have equalized the right to resist occupation with terrorism? Has this leadership been able to recognize that these agreements have galvanized the expansion of Settlement on the Palestinian land, and created the discriminatory Wall that separates between Palestinian roads, farms, tracks, and houses, dividing all of these components into halves? Has time come to this leadership to admit that these agreements humiliate the dignity of the Palestinian people?A thorough comparison between the profit and the loss of the Oslo agreements results, will show that the Palestinian people is the loser. Hence, the logo "Settlement for Peace" seems to be more realistic than the "Land for Peace" slogan. The "Settlement for Peace" is an achievement that the Oslo agreements have attained for the state of occupation, Israel, who was granted peace and Settlement together, while the Palestinian people have been deprived from their own original and legitimate right of the land and peace as a result of Settlement.
