Zakaria: What the Palestinians should do.

[pelsar]

11. it hasn't... it wasnt part of the agreement

theres a lot more going on that just the settlements in case you haven't noticed.

your post simply skipped over everything else that involves building a country, which is what intifada I and oslo got started and what Israel in essence gave to the PA to get the whole have their own state get moving...that was negotiating in "good faith" giving them weapons, military equipment, getting them trained via the US, setting up borders for the various areas...and lots more.


and just a fun fact: the oslo accords did not mention that the settlements had to be stopped

Yet, Oslo made no mention of a settlement freeze—formal or otherwise—and, in fact, deferred the settlement issue altogether until so-called “permanent status” negotiations to be held in five years

so it seems your "its the settlements" was not exactly the problem, at least not according to the agreement.
unless of course it was the PA that was not negotiating in good faith

well?
