A central dimension of the conflict between Israel and Palestine concerns territorial claims and the ways in which these claims are legitimised to both domestic and international audiences. In this regard, the kibbutz is arguably the most interesting settlement form, as it has both facilitated Israeli territorial claims and attracted admiration internationally for its unique communal structure alo
