 Who Murdered the Oslo Accords?
Since Barak took office in July 1999, tenders for the construction of at least 3,499 settlement housing units were issued in the occupied territories, and construction began on 2,270 units.
The entire argument championed by Bush, that Arafat has "not done enough" to rein in terrorism, etc., is also a fallacy of composition.
The Oslo Accords mandated the P.A. to build a police force to maintain law and order, which it did.

 Victim of peace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase implied that such deaths were a price worth paying for the peace process.
The expression victim of peace was a euphemism used by some of the Israeli left-wing politicians to refer to victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks in the period between the signing of September 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between Palestinians and Israel and the Al-Aqsa Intifada sparked in September 2000.
At Oslo, the Palestine Liberation Organization committed to curbing violence against Israelis in exchange for phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from parts of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and Palestinian self-government within those areas through the creation of the Palestinian Authority.

Second, the rule of law must be regarded not only as a human rights objective, but also as a foundation for political legitimacy and effectiveness.
First, no amount of peace education or high-minded rhetoric about reconciliation will compensate for a failure to improve the conditions in which Palestinians are living.
Although the Palestinian Authority can and should be expected to do everything in its power to prevent terrorism, it must assert its power, as responsible governments do, consistent with the power conferred by its laws.

Extradition is a specific requirement of the Oslo accords.
No mention is made, that during the period between the signing of the Israel-PLO peace accords of September 1993 and the 1996 elections, there was more terrorism committed than at any other time since the founding of the state of Israel.
The violence that has recently been generated is in total violation of the Oslo peace accords that calls for the renunciation of all violent acts.

 Shades of gray in Middle East
Following Oslo, Chairman Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority (PA) did cease officially sanctioning violence, did jail terrorists, did remove the call for Israel's destruction from its charter, and not only was not rewarded with a state, but watched as Netanyahu refused to comply with withdrawal agreements, permitted illegal settlements, and closed down PA offices.
Peace activists do not envision a perfect world without people who commit evil acts, but we work to achieve a world where evil acts are exposed for what they are, and not justified in the name of nonevil aims.

I don’t have the writing of the Oslo accords in front of me, but apparently, it says that we can’t arrest or bring to court any PLO member for any crime committed before 9/13/1993.

 Oslo Accord Update: A Middle East Christmas Carol - John Loeffler - Koinonia House
Some intelligence sources were indicating the U.S. and EU (or the U.K. acting for the EU?) were quietly preparing a deal Israel and the Palestinians couldn't refuse-a new peace arrangement, which would be imposed upon them "or-else"; like it or not.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian state will face civil war from within as militant groups reject the "peace" deal.
However, no matter what glowing terms were used to describe the peace process by the politicians and media, serious observers knew that it was bound to rupture once issues such as control of an undivided Jerusalem, final borders, and the right of return for Palestinian refugees were addressed.

These settlement activities violate many United Nations resolutions-and the Oslo accords.
The Oslo agreement, although it is extremely limited, does provide for a Palestinian civil authority to replace the Israeli occupiers-and a Palestinian police force that now numbers around 30,000.
The Israeli right wing, representing a big section of the bourgeoisie and petit bourgeoisie, opposed the Oslo accords both because they create an embryo Palestinian state and because the Israeli ruling class seeks to own and dominate all the lands of the Palestinians.

 The Oslo Interlude
The Palestinians now claim that if there is no final agreement by then, they are released from their obligations under Oslo, including the prohibition against unilaterally declaring statehood.
Then he can pocket his gains, declare his state and prepare for the final struggle.
What Westerners do not quite grasp, however, is that for Arafat the end of Oslo means not just statehood but a release from the very core of Oslo, the pledge of peace.

The Senate action sends a clear signal to Chairman Arafat that the Congress of the United States views abandonment of this principle as a threat to peace and a reckless course of action.

According to Azmi Bishara, President Bush's sudden rediscovery of his commitment to the so-called "roadmap" for resolving the Palestinian issue may be shortlived, since it is mostly a response to the "whispered pleas" of European leaders on the eve of the US war on Iraq.
Switzerland and the Geneva Accord: Undermining the Rule of Law (November 13, 2003)
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon stated that dismantling settlements for a Palestinian State, as proposed under a US-backed peace plan, is "not an issue on the horizon." This adds to the obstacles for Secretary of State Colin Powell in convincing Arab leaders about Sharon’s good faith in moving ahead with the road map.

Meanwhile, a draft statement by European Union nations is expected to be more supportive still.

According to the Financial Times, the horrific level of violence in Colombia's second city—in 1998 there were 3,000 murders in a population of 2 million, a homicide rate 22 times the United States'—has driven away legitimate businesses.
Palestinians, not surprisingly, view the settlements as an encroachment on the land of their future state of Palestine, and on their lives.

They were able to move back and forth between Gaza and the West Bank—and to do business deals for their own benefit.

 Al-Ahram Weekly Culture Prophets and fugitives
As Yakhluf pointed out, however, neither Israel itself nor anyone who condones the oppression and brutality it practices as a state can be truly for peace.
The implication, as Yakhluf went on to elucidate, is that what might be seen as political compromises imparted by the Palestinian Authority during the Oslo negotiations would translate into a culturally and nationally compromised literary undertaking.
Palestinian literature likewise remains essentially a literature of resistance, regardless of what position the Palestinian Authority might adopt on the political issues at hand, and notwithstanding the much broader thematic range in which Palestinian authors have operated, particularly in recent years.

That onslaught eviscerated Israel's Labor Party, Arafat's erstwhile Oslo partner and best hope for a peace in the near term, and left Arafat alone with his old antagonist, Sharon.

The battle against the Israeli occupation is becoming an intercommunal war, one that could go on for months, perhaps years.
This conflict bears increasingly little resemblance to the one that took place from 1987 to 1993 and ended with the Oslo peace accords, which set up the framework for Palestinian interim self-government in the West Bank and Gaza.
Now Oslo's delegitimization has swayed public opinion in Israel and the occupied territories away from compromise and toward more radical solutions.
