How miserable was Oslo? Research from the Israel Defense and Security Forum shows that Israeli civilian casualties resulting from terror attacks increased ninefold in the years following the accords’ implementation (1994-2022) compared with the years since Israel’s founding (1948-93). But those tragic deaths aren’t the whole story. The sad truth is that Israel unwittingly allowed the creation of a global terrorist network that directs international efforts to challenge Israel’s legitimacy and fuels anti-Semitism. The Arab citizens of Israel are now subject to intense Palestinian propaganda, while international funds provided to the Palestinian Authority support terror activities and the gradual takeover of Judea and Samaria. Palestinian curriculum is rife with Israel hatred, creating generations of future terrorists and diminishing the prospects of future peace.
