[edit] Loss of credibility

Since the start of the Al-Aqsa Intifada and its emphasis on suicide bombers deliberately targeting civilians riding public transportation (buses), the Oslo Accords are viewed with increasing disfavor by the Israeli public. In May 2000, seven years after the Oslo Accords and five months before the start of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, a survey by the Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research at the University of Tel Aviv found that: 39% of all Israelis support the Accords and that 32% believe that the Accords will result on peace in the next few years. [1]. By constrast, the May 2004 survey found that 26% of all Israelis support the Accords and 18% believe that the Accords will result on peace in the next few years; decreases of 13% and 16% respectively. Furthermore, the May 2004 survey found that 80% of all Israelis hold that the Israel Defense Forces have succeeded in dealing with the Al-Aqsa Intifada militarily. [2]

All of the architects of the accords listed in the People section are either from Norway or Israel. Is this indeed correct? 209.135.35.83 19:35, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Should there be a redirect to this page from "Oslo Agreement(s)"?

[edit] This stuff is biased

This stuff is biased. Can we have a view from different perspectives? Not only pro-israeli ones? i mean, what was the cause of the al-aqsa intifida? something must have caused it to begin? we need full truth not half truth. you guys are blaming the palestinians as if they were the only ones who crippled the oslo accords

Agreed, people are reading this and they don't need to hear patently false Zionist assertions of hundreds of Israeli's being suicide bombed during this time period. A quick search through Israel's ICT database should make that obvious enough.

[edit] my 2 cents

A lot of palestinians feel that the PLO sold them out at the accords, why should palestinians recognise Israel's right to exist, and Israeli's don't have to recognise Palestine's right to exist. The moderate palestinian who accepted the expensive price for peace didn't see any peace, he only saw human right violations, genocide and bulldozers leveling his house with his family still inside and if he defends himself he is labelled a terrorist. Isreal withdraws from an area then wait for an excuse to bomb it and retake it. those are some hints about the causes of the al-aqsa intifida.

I have to agree here. There seems to be a lack of information from the Palestinian perspective.

[edit] Stop the Palestinian 'doublespeak'

I made changes to a paragraph since it DID NOT TELL THE ENTIRE STORY. There were 20+ Palestinian terrorist attacks that left 25+ people dead between the signing of the DOP and Baruch Goldstein's shooting spree in Hebron.

Palestinians are always heard on talk shows and radio shows falsely claiming that Goldstein started the attacks. When one looks at REAL facts they realize that what the PLO says is just rubbish based on continuing a campaign of demonization.

[edit] Neutrality

In reference to the discussion page:

People should stop trying to present one side as being right, and the other utterly responsible for all violence. A careful examination of the events will show clearly that leaders on both sides have been working hard to perpetuate violence. I wrote about this in my blog [3], but didn't want to put it on the article page, lest someone considers it inappropriate. So I'm leaving it here on the discussion page. Instead of trying to point out what the "other side" did wrong, how about finding the truth and registering the course of events?

Saying that "it's no one's fault" is not neutral. That is a very specific conclusion. The way some articles deal with this problem is by stating each side's claims in separate sections.

After all, that's what NPOV is all about, and I think this article has aimed well at doing so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.175.153 (talk) 23:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
