AB  - This paper aims to analyse the most significant Palestinian and Israeli women’s political initiatives that have been influenced by and, in the majority of cases, prevented by obstacles associated with the Israeli military occupation. 
On the evaluation of the results of my own fieldwork that I undertook between 2009 and 2011, I document examples of activism involving Palestinian and Israeli Jewish women in the construction of alternative political pathways in the land of Palestine. In such a framework, I question the effective influence of these cases of women’s political activism towards a feasible renewal of the ‘peace process’, founded on mutual recognition and reconciliation. Although the women producing such initiatives have continued to represent a minority voice within their own societies, my examination attempts to consider political alternatives in opposition to the dominant mainstream, and, in particular, to focus on the most recent women’s experiences that have assumed key roles in the contemporary political panorama in Palestine/Israel. 
The academic salience of my study is the provision of an additional contribution to the current debate on the process of making Palestinian and Israeli women activists more visible, and the importance of this process as being one of the most meaningful ways in which to open up areas of enquiry around relevant prospects for a fair resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Despite the majority of women’s political proposals and actions have been relegated to the margins of the mainstream arena, a few of them has succeeded in finding policies and approaches, such as non-violent resistance and civil disobedience, which have assisted them in their struggle to end the Israeli military occupation.
