Palestinian petition urges Abolition of Oslo Accords12/15/2002 Right wing Israelis have been clamoring for PM Ariel Sharon to announce the abolition of the Oslo accords following the outbreak of the "second Intifada" in September, 2000. The accords granted material gains to the PLO, which was allowed to establish itself in the West Bank and Gaza. Now some Palestinians are asking for abrogation of the accords, though it is not clear what material benefits they might gain from this. Original article in Jerusalem Post

Well I disagree with the 'reasons' these Palestinians list 'blah blah blah Zionists, imperialists, more of the same stuff they've been saying for years...'. Karen Posted by Karen @ 12/16/2002 02:51 AM CST
I think the key to understanding the implications of this lie in who has signed and what positions they have taken in the past. Are these people who have been part of the efforts to bring a just peace for both peoples? The use of the term "Arab nation" makes me question this even more so.
