And for your kind and poor information, this is the very reason we have disputes over with the US because unlike you guys who can kill anyone and everyone who is a muslim by faith and has beard, PA differentiate between them. Also you havent answered my question Hamas was a democratically elected government, why was it not accepted then? | |

A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.

That was okay for you. Hamas has told clearly that it will carryout rocket attacks and hence they become legitimate targets. So I guess killing killing innocent civillians in your own country makes PA heroes and IDF when the do the same to defend their citizens it makes them villans. Regards | |

Why should the Palestinians accept Israels right to exist as a political entity, when the Israelis themselves refuse to accept a reversal in principle of their expansionist policies through settlements and seizure of refugee properties and a denial of their return? | |

Its crap from your end now. Hamas cannot be recognised as it stated that it will not stop terrorists acts even after being elected. Normally sensible Govts do not recognise terrorist Govts. Regards | |

Does the Israeli government accept even in principle the equally justified and legal demands of dismantling all settlements and the rights of refugees? Why should the Palestinians accept Israels right to exist as a political entity, when the Israelis themselves refuse to accept a reversal in principle of their expansionist policies through settlements and seizure of refugee properties and a denial of their return? | |

The Accords were finalized in Oslo, Norway on 20 August 1993, and subsequently officially signed at a public ceremony in Washington D.C. on 13 September 1993, with Yasser Arafat signing for the Palestine Liberation Organization and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin signing for the State of Israel. It was witnessed by Warren Christopher for the United States and Andrei Kozyrev for Russia, in the presence of US President Bill Clinton. The Oslo Accords were a framework for the future relations between the two parties. The Accords provided for the creation of a Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority would have responsibility for the administration of the territory under its control. The Accords also called for the withdrawal of the Israel Defence Forces from parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank. It was anticipated that this arrangement would last for a five-year interim period during which a permanent agreement would be negotiated (beginning no later than May 1996). Permanent issues such as Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements, security and borders were deliberately left to be decided at a later stage. Interim self-government was to be granted by Israel in phases. Support for the Accords, of the concessions made and the process were not free from criticism. The repeated public posturing of all sides has discredited the process, not to mention putting into question the possibility of achieving peace, at least in the short-term. The momentum towards peaceful relations between Israel and the Palestinians as demonstrated by the signing of the Oslo Accords has been seriously jolted by the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000. Further strain was put on the process after Hamas won 2006 Palestinian elections. Although offering Israel a number of longterm ceasefires and accepting the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, Hamas has repeatedly refused to officially recognise Israel,[1] to renounce violent resistance, or accept some agreements previously made by the Palestinian Authority, claiming it is being held to an unfair standard and points out the fact that Israel has not recognized a Palestinian state, renounced violence or lived up to all pledges it has made during previous negotiations. Hamas has always renounced the Oslo Accords. | |

Israel essentially spurned the offers that came out of the Arab conferences that offered full recognition and acceptance of Israel by all participating Arab countries in exchange for a return to 1967 borders. | |
