This paper problematises the ways in which the passions of 'identity' constrain the collaborative aspects of the struggle for decolonisation in settler-colonial societies. The discussion will focus on Israel-Palestine, where the idea of collaborative struggle has attracted significant criticism. As a corollary of the discussion of this particular case study, an alternative reading of the idea of the collaborative struggle will be offered.Would justice and equal rights for all really destroy Israel? Did equality destroy the American South? Or South Africa? Certainly, it destroyed the discriminatory racial order that had prevailed in both places, but it did not destroy the people or the country.
