I treasure my Brazilian LPs, but I don't think I've come by any of them easily

Do you have this one?

The absence of the substance of sovereignty remains an issue that people still seem to talk around rather than about, and it remains the outstanding question where enduring stability in the Levant is concerned.

Rather, an identity was cultivated over time by primarily external actors: not just the Israelis, but the Soviets, other Arab states, international organizations, etc. As all of those (except Israel) retreated, it was like a scaffolding being taken down without a building.

Part of this is simply a function of the strange trajectory of Palestinian nationhood: it was neither a case of a preexisting nation that still seeks political independence, nor a case of an existing state that had to cultivate a national identity.

Neither the legions of negotiators, nor the new wave of formal recognitions for a Palestinian state, nor the "Free Palestine" crowd has really worked out the core question: who actually rules and with what authority?

I will admit to not being a fan, though I agree that you can see them diverging, and in retrospect the technocratic and messianic approaches were probably always an uneasy fit.
