So many Israelis, particularly on
the left of the political map (but not only) have considered for years that the
aim of the Palestinian movement was one of nationalistic aims. In other words,
the establishment of a Palestinian state. Thus, much of the thinking imposed
similarities between the Zionistic aims and the Palestinian aims.
This was a total misunderstanding
of Palestinian intentions and their fundamentalist ideology was not taken
seriously. Israelis were not listening to the messages being broadcast to Palestinians
themselves. How often were the “peaceful” messages of Arafat given to lull the
West, but his messages to the Palestinians were, in fact, one of the hope of
destroying Israel, as clearly set out in the charters of both Hamas (article 32)
and the Palestinian Authority (articles 2 and 25).
There is a need to move away from
the Oslo Accords ideology which was based on the thoughts that by giving the
Palestinians work in Israel, this would give them the opportunity
for a brighter future. We now know that many of those working in Israel were
part of an extensive intelligence network created by Hamas which provided all
the information they needed for maximizing the potential of the October 7th
heinous invasion.
At all levels in the IDF, the
security and intelligence establishment and the police, the Oslo Accords syndrome is still
alive and well. However, it is clear no Palestinian leader has ever aspired to
building a nation state unless it was by the elimination of the State of Israel.
It is now necessary to rebuild the leadership in
the IDF, security, intelligence and police forces to acknowledge what should
have been acknowledged years ago, the Oslo Accords was a failed experiment.
