The idea of peace is always enchanting, for it encompasses the
tranquility and serenity for which every human yearns. The nation
of Israel has never known peace, but it dreams of peace. In
practice Israel navigates between the poles of war and peace, with
endless middle-of the-road situations like cease-fire, truce,
armistice, and other temporary cessations of hostilities.The Oslo
Idea traces the roots of the current campaign to delegitimize
Israel. The campaign is not linked to Israeli resistance, to the
absence of an acceptable settlement between Israel and the
Palestinians, or to Israel's reluctance to abandon territory. It
results from a change of tactics by the Palestinian leadership.
Israeli argues that these tactics have been used to exhaust,
reduce, and replace Israel rather than produce a compromise. Half
the Palestinian people and other uncompromising Arabs and Muslims
have stated that goal openly and act to achieve it.Raphael Israeli
deconstructs the immense illusion of the Oslo peace accords, which
initiated the so-called 'peace process.' He shows how Oslo lured a
naive Israeli leadership into a trap. He shows how outside factors,
bent on finding and supporting an evasive peace, have helped
perpetuate the fiasco Oslo represents. He shows how Oslo's
supporters have advanced the 'peace process' by coaxing and
threatening Israel behind the scenes, and binding Israel alone with
the Oslo commitments and their derivatives. More importantly, the
author outlines and analyzes the basic and seemingly unbridgeable
points of contention that remain: security, refugees, settlements,
water, borders, and the status of Jerusalem itself.
