• The Oslo Accords were designed to achieve lasting peace
between Israel and the Palestinians. The Palestine Liberation Organization
(PLO) used the Palestinian Authority (PA), created as part of the Accords, to
cultivate ever-deepening Palestinian hatred of Israel and promote terrorism. As
a result, the Oslo path has been disastrous for Israel and the Palestinians
alike.
• The Oslo Accords, that provided self-governance for
Palestinians in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, were predicated on the assumption
that the PLO recognized Israel’s right to exist and abandoned violence and
terror as a means to achieve Palestinian aspirations. Yet the PLO-PA have
consistently perpetuated a narrative, both within Palestinian society and in
international organizations and fora, of Israeli delegitimization.
• These policies include the constant radicalization of
the Palestinian education curriculum, thereby brainwashing and poisoning the
minds of generations of Palestinians, and adopting and implementing a
multi-billion-dollar “Pay-for-Slay” program that promotes, incentivizes, and
rewards terror.
• As a result of the Oslo Accords, the PLO-PA was given
autonomous rule of extensive areas in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. Instead of
building a functioning, democratic, and prosperous society, these areas were
turned into safe havens for terror and an incubator for Palestinian terror
groups.
• Despite being given the funding, the opportunities, and
the capabilities to establish a functioning and prosperous Palestinian economy,
the PLO, the PA, and the Palestinian leadership abused international aid,
including substantial U.S. and EU aid, to promote Palestinian national
aspirations to destroy Israel.
• Recognizing and accepting the Oslo Accords’ failure
would allow all the relevant actors to re-evaluate and develop alternative
solutions.
