The Burdensof Interpretation

EdwardSaid*

Where do you stand on the questionof Palestine?A shamelessly


provocative question,butan interesting one againstthewiderbackground
of theoriesof interpretation.One of the effects of thatgreatexplosionof

thatthereis no pointofview,no vantage,no perspective availablelikean
Archimedeanprincipleoutsidehistory.The resultof decolonizationand
thedevelopment ofnewlyindependent peoples,liketheriseofthewomen's
movementfromsubalternto coeval status,like the appearancefrom
obscurityofvariousand variously suppressed
minority voices,thesethings
have demonstrated thatall formsof knowledgeabouthumanhistoryare
formsofengagement in it. This is particularly
true,ofcourse,in thesocial
andhumanistic disciplines,wherewe havecometo realize-ifnotalwaysto

discourseaboutblacks,women, primitives.I thinkit is correct tosaythat
Palestineis a topic,a subject,a "matter" aboutwhichinterests and
knowledges have evolved, but like all other such knowledges theyare
implicatedin thecontest overandaboutPalestine.
Perhaps thisis a roundabout wayofsaying thatthereis no neutrality,
therecanbe noneutrality orobjectivity aboutPalestine. Thisisnottosay,
on the other hand, thatall positions are equal,or that all perspectives are
as heavilyor as lightly invested.But it is to saythatso ideologically
saturatedis thequestionofPalestine, so manifestly present is it to most
peoplewho come to deal withit, thateven a superficial or cursory
apprehension ofitinvolves a position taken,an interest defended, a claim
ora rightasserted. Thereis no indifference, no objectivity, no neutrality
becausethereissimply no roomforthemina spacethatis as crowded and
overdetermined as thisone.
IfI'vebeenso insistent on thispointhereit isbecauseI havefeltthat
a numberof signsscattered here and therein the invitations, the
procedures, theinstructions forthisconference haveasserted otherwise.

and that"negotiations are possibleonlyin the framework of mutual

and otherpointofview. wouldalso mentionthatthe rhetorical tone of
suchwriting, as muchas itsimpliedpointofview,seemsto transport the
readeroutsidethe conflict'szone of disagreeableengagementto a place
removed,where-it is further implied-thingscan be madeclear,setright,
properly understood.
Such interpretations (fortheyare, at bottom,interpretations) have
been a consistentaspect of the questionof Palestinesince its modem
inception.There has alwaysbeen an appeal made by one or both of the
partiesto a silentand impartial jurysomewhere outthere.The factthatno
suchjuryhas everreallyexistedcan immediately be verifiedbya quicklook
at thevacillating, notto saydramatically altered,perception oftheUnited
Nationsby partiesto the conflictsince the late 1940s. It is onlya slight
simplification to say that whereasthe Zionistsappealed to the United
Nations,moreor less consistently until1967, it has been Palestiniansfor
whomsince 1967 the UnitedNationshas been cast in the roleof arbiter
and adjudicator.Presentappeals by Israel and Israel'sfriendsto such
abstractions as "democracy"or the "Judeo-Christian heritage"have not
madeeitherofthesetwosolemnfictions anylessa weaponin therhetorical
battlebetweenpartisans.
Butthisis notall. One ofthemoststriking featuresoftheseattempts at
representing the conflictas iffromthe outsidehas been the notionthat
Palestiniansand Israelisare equal, symmetrically balanced,polarizedat
dead center.A workshopat thesemeetingswentso faras devisingthe
format ofan innercoreofsixPalestinians and sixIsraelis,aroundwhomsix
others-presumably lessinvolvedand morefreeto regardthe matterwith
impartiality-sat. It willhardlycomeas a revelation, however,whenI say
once againthatno suchsymmetry has everexisted,no matterhowtempted
we maybe bythenicelybalancedrhetorical formofthepolarity.Ifthereis
one thingthatdeconstructive philosophy has effectedit is to have shown
definitivelythatbipolaroppositions always,regularly, constitutivelymystify
thedominationofone ofthe termsbythe other.In thisinstanceI would
saythatto place thePalestinianand theIsraelisideswithintheopposition
on whatappearsto be an equal,opposite,and symmetrical footingis also to
reducethe claimsofthe one by elevatingthe claimsofthe other.
HowevermuchtheJewsmayviewZionismas a crucialand compelling
aspectofJewish history, as itstelos,as itsrestitutionand redemption, as its
culmination and vindication,thereis no gettingpastthe factthatforall
Palestinians theprocessesofZionismhave dispossessed them.And notjust
that,forherewe come to the veryessenceof the Palestiniancase against

torture,collectivepunishment, andexpropriations againstthePalestinians.
The irony ofthisextraordinary structure ofIsraeliself-congratulation
on the
one handand Israelisavagery on theotherhasfewparallels to myknowledge.
I was remindedof an earliercase in RudyardKipling'sposthumously
publishedautobiography, Something of Myself.Kiplingspeaksof visiting
TheodoreRooseveltat the SmithsonianInstitution earlyin thiscentury.

The Smithsonian, especiallyon theethnologicalside,was a pleasantplace to


browsein. Everynation,likeeveryindividual,walksin a vain show-else it

For indeedit is the coincidenceofshakingglasscases fullof Indianrelics


withRoosevelt'sloud rebuttalsthatrecallsIsraelipublicposturing today
alongsidethecontinuedoccupationoftheWestBankand Gaza, as wellas
the punishment and dailyhumiliationof the Palestinians.The frequent
IsraelicomplaintthatPalestinianswillnot recognizeIsrael(a falsehood),
thatIsraelis surrounded thattheworldis experiencing

situation.To add also theviewofleadingAmericanZioniststhattelevision

mountto anti-Semitism and a failureofnervein Westerncivilization, this


is to leave the worldof cruel realityfora paranoiduniverseof utter
derangement.
Butthesethingsoccur.TheydefinethecontextofPalestinianawareness
and, one shouldadd, ofJewishawarenesstoo. Yet one factcannotbe lost
sightof-the radical discrepancyin the Palestinianand Israeli/Zionist
situation.(I note parenthetically thatso totalizinghave each of the two
opposingviewsbecomethattragically theyarealmostclosedto theseparate
and different truthoftheother.This too shouldbe keptin mindas we try
to modulateaway fromthe rigidand, in my opinion,false symmetry
ascribedto thetwosides.)The difference betweenthePalestinianviewand
theIsraeliviewis therefore constitutiveto thenatureoftheconflict. To put
this in morepoliticallyemotiveterms,we mustbe able to see that the
justiceand truthof the oppressor-for thereis one here-and thatof the
oppressedare not interchangeable, morallyequal, epistemologically con-
gruent.
As to whythePalestinianand Israelipositionsareroutinely describedas
iftheywerecongruent and symmetrically opposite,theretoo we have an
instanceofinterpretation engaged,not to sayembroiled, in theconflictof
whichit is supposedly free.It mustbe one oftherarestinstancesever(the
Americancase is similar)in whichthe nationthathas dispossessed and
continuesto punishanotherwantsto enjoythe moralstatusand virtuous
suffering of the victim.More: Israelrequiresfromthe Palestinianssuch
unprecedented (and in thewholehistory ofdiplomacy, unknown)conces-
sionsfromthem-includingsuchthingsas acknowledgements ofthe right
to exist,legitimacy, etc.-with noneoffered in return.Who can forget the
extraordinary publicrelationsattemptby supporters of Israelto turnthe
massacresof Sabra and Shatila,forwhichIsraelwas directly responsible,
into an exampleof Israel'sgreatnessof soul, or, as it was put by the
egregious oftheNewRepublic,
editorialists an exampleofhowIsrael'sshame
honorsher?
These peculiaritiesof the politicalstrugglebetweenIsrael and the
Palestinians aredeeplytraumatic forthePalestinians.Not onlydoes every
Palestinianfeel exile as an unhealablewound,but thereis the added
torment of seeingPalestinianmiseriesequatedwithIsraelisoul-searching
(whosemostrepeatedformis thephrase,or itsvariations, "theoccupation
is bad forIsrael'ssoul"). When Israeldenies our historyand even our
reality,we arealso askedto listento paeansin praiseofIsrael'sdemocracy.

generation ofIsraelirevisionist historianstowhomI referred earlier-ispart


of a largerand moresustainedeffort to dehumanize the Palestinians
entirely. It is a veryshortroadfrom thedepictions ofthePalestinian Arab
asa nomadic, mindless, andessentially inconsequential nonpresence onthe
land of Israelto the bombingof terrorist concentrations, nests,and
infrastructures during theso-calledPeaceforGalileecampaign. I can say
flatlyandwithout fearofrefutation thatnosuchsystematic dehumanization
oftheJewshaseveroccurred in Palestinianlife,rhetoric, orculture. My
pointinreciting all ofthisisnotjusttoreassert that,forexample, theLaw
ofReturn is radically unjustto,andfundamentally discriminatory against,
thePalestinians, northatIsrael'srecordis incomparably worsethanthe
Palestinians'. I amperfectly preparednow,as I havebeenfrequently inthe
past,to be as unsparing in self-criticism
as I am in criticism of Israeli
practices. The pointI wantto make,however, is thatmostPalestinians,
myself included,feelthe need forpeace and restitution witha great
urgency, andyetwe alsofeelthattheofficial IsraeliandgeneralZionist
attitude tothePalestinians isoneofuncompromising After
hostility. all,it
is a factalsothatthePalestine NationalCouncil-andnotjusta handful
ofdoves-hasbeenonrecord since1974expressing willingnesstopartition
thelandofhistorical Palestineintotwostates;andit isno lessa factthat
thePNC officially represents thewillofthemajority ofPalestinians inexile,
in the occupiedterritories, and withinpre-1967Israel.We have also
publicly andconcretely expressed ourwillingness as a political
andnational
community to negotiate directly withIsraelat a Geneva-type conference.
AndyetIsrael-I speakhereofthestate,notofsomeindividuals init-will
notevenbegintorecognize thePLO as thelegitimate representativeofthe
Palestinian people,muchlessnegotiate a settlement withit. Giventhat
everyone, including everyIsraeli,knowsthatthereis notnow,andnever
has been,anycredible(or evenincredible) alternative to thePLO, this
Israelirefusal is tantamount to a rejectionofanymeaningful movement
towardpeace and reconciliation. As portrayed by soldiersin the Israeli
hasbara(information) effort abroad-e.g. Conor CruiseO'Brien-the
actualIsraelipositionis equivalent to a perpetual siege,whichnaturally
enoughwillhaveto be subsidized bytheU.S. It is important to note,
incidentally, thatTom Segev'srecently published portraitof Israelin
1948-49reveals thatverysamedesire, at thattime,toremain in a stateof
siege,andtherefore torejectArabpeaceinitiatives madebyJordan, Syria,
and Egyptin 1948 and 1949; it was a stableelementin Israeliofficial
thinking as earlyas thefounding ofthestate.The continuity endures.

Verywell then:how do we changethissituation,ifwe have properly


understoodit and properly interpretedits discrepanciesas seen fromthe
perspective of its greatestloser,the PalestinianArab?How do we really
beginto movetowardpeace?What are the real,as opposedto fraudulent,
steps to be taken? The psychologyof conflictdemands,I think, a
recognition on thepartoftheIsraelisthattheyhave done a greatinjustice
to thePalestinianpeople.Foran exampleofthethinking and thepolitical
gestureI have in is
mind there a quite remarkable book by Edward
Thompsonpublishedin 1926 by the HogarthPress;it is called The Other
Side of the Medal. In this tract,Thompson addressesEngland'slong
colonizationofIndia,acknowledging the immensepsychological as wellas
moraldamagedonebothsidesin theprotracted colonialencounter between
them.But one of the characteristics of thisadmirablelittlebook is that
whereasThompsonshowshowbothsideshave misrepresented each other's
history-the1857 Mutiny,forexample,is shownbythe Indiansto be yet
anotherepisodein India'sdegradation byEngland,butforthe Britishthe
Mutinyis a signofhow savagea nation,and therefore how muchin need
of imperialsubjugation, India is-he also has the courageand the moral
severityto see thatthereis a differenceand an asymmetry betweenthetwo
sides.England has exploited and colonized India, he says,and no matter
howsavagethereprisals byIndiannationalism, theycannotmeasureup to
the imperialoffense itself.
Therefore ThompsonproposesthatEnglandshouldexpressatonement
foritsactionsin India, and it is in formulating thisnovel solutionto the
psychological dimensionof the Anglo-Indianrelationship thatThompson
risesabove mostothercommentators of the time.It is mybeliefthatthe
presentimpassebetweenthe Palestiniansand Israelcan profitfromthe
thought underlying Thompson'sideaofatonement. As Thompsonsays,the
differencebetweenthe Indianand the Britishversionsof theirhistoryis
thatin additionto theirmilitary and economicpowers,the latterhave an
enormous arsenalofinterpretive weaponswithwhichto maketheirpoints;
thisincludes,forexample,theOxfordHistory ofIndia,theBritishpress,the
greatuniversities. In otherwords,he recognizes the considerable political
forceof publications,of the diffusion of opinion, of moral hegemony
operating on the Britishside. The sameis no lesstruetoday,wherepartly

withoutcharge, it is a good deal worse for them to endure these
punishments and to be forced,at the same time,to be askedto admire
Israel'sdemocracy, itsscientificperformances, itsmilitary prowess.
One shouldindicateherethattheconflictoverPalestineis unusualin
thatsincethe earlytwentieth century, it has been conductedbothon the
groundin Palestineand,outsidePalestine,as an ideological,informational,
and interpretive conflictbyimportant expatriate or diasporacommunities.
Palestine,of course,is no ordinary place, and its extraordinary character
has inflatedtheseoutsideideologicalconteststo a degreequite without
precedentanywhere else in the modemworld.Irredentism toutcourthas
furnished the goal (anotheracre, anothergoat,said Weizmann),but the
energyhas come frompsychological, ideological,and moralpassionsthat
have led theirown lifeoutsidePalestine.
In such an inflatedideologicaland psychological climatethen, the
importance of conciliatory stepsthatpreservein thema real senseof the
actualdisparity betweenoppressor and oppressedis paramount.It needsto
be said againthatthedehumanizing portrayals ofthePalestinians byIsrael
and Israel'ssupporters have regularly been accompaniedbyweirdlyexces-
sive depictionsoftheJewsof Israelas victimswho have directly inherited
the sacrosanctstatusof Holocaust survivors in everything theyas
that
Israelisdo to thePalestinians. Therefore someconnections mustbe broken,
others must be affirmed.Here the tonic and therapeuticforce of
Thompson'snotionofatonementbecomesurgently relevant.Forwhatwe
the
needto begin process of reconciliation and peace is an Israeligestureof
atonement, a gesturewhichdoesnotexploitthetiebetweenthevictimsof
the Holocaustand Israel'sJewsbut notes insteadhow IsraeliJewshave
oppressed PalestinianArabs,and activatestheenergiesofsecularand social
actualitiesin a programof restitution by Israel and the U.S. for the
Palestinianpeople.
As to whatthatgestureof atonementmightbe, I shall not be more
specificthan to say that the Palestiniansituationrequiresa visible
abrogation ofthosedenials-by now institutionalized, programmed, total-
ized,and even theorized-bywhichIsraelhas protected itselffromitsown
pastrecordofpracticesagainstthePalestinianpeople.I wouldbe lessthan
honestwereI not also to add thatwe maybe verywell pastthe moment
whenreconciliation can be affected muchbysuchgestures, althoughthere
willalwaysbe roomforthem.Insteadthereis a muchmorelikelyprospect
ofgrowing polarization-after all, almostan entiregeneration ofpersecuted
Palestinianshas now grownup in Israel, the occupied territories, and

Lebanon-especiallyas it is also clearto Israeland the Palestiniansthat


neitherhas anyrealmilitary optionagainstthe other.
I shouldnot end on so bleak and negativea note. If I wereto say to
myself and to a younger generationthanminewhatit is thatwe mustdo in
furthering the mutualrecognition and peace that the currentsituation
requires,I wouldspecifythreethings.One is to keep our thoughtsand
actionsresolutely in a seculardimension,freeof divinepromises,cove-
nants,anddestinies.Nothinghas aggravated thequestionofPalestinemore
thantheantinomian qualityofitsrichhistoricaldensity,on theone hand,
fusedwith its irrational,irreconcilable religiousdisputes,on the other.
Second,is a constant,perpetually renewedsearchformodesofcommunity,
notstructures ofexclusion.In this,thereis no doubtthatPalestinians have
led the way, but thereis a growingnumberof Jews-Israeliand non-
Israeli-forwhomthisimperative has becomecentral.Third,we need a
more consciouspoliticalengagementwith the questionsof justice and
injusticethathave animatedthe questionofPalestinethroughout modern
times.The lesswe disingenuously claimto be studying, or adjudicating,
or
manipulating, or pragmaticallyseekingimpartial solutionsforthe conflict
betweenIsraeland thePalestiniannation,thebetter.Everyonewho looks
intothe questionofPalestineis engagedin it, buthow muchbetterto be
engagedopenlyon the side of justiceand truththan to loiteron the
margins, vainlyseekingimpartial solutionsandsymmetrical frameworks.As
withmostthingsin humanhistory, thisis a matterofchoiceand will,and
so ratherthanconcludingwitha fewbitsof scientific and contemplative
wisdom,let me insteadenjoinyouto call justicejusticeand truthtruth.
