Zusammenfassung:"After living for more than three decades under occupation by Israel - and ten years after the Oslo Accords were heralded as the first step toward the resolution of a century of conflict - the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza struggle daily with conditions of severe economic, social, and psychological deprivation. What explains the dismal failure of the post-Oslo peace process? What propels the prolonged and devastating upheaval known as the Al-Aqsa intifada? Cheryl Rubenberg's forceful, penetrating critique of the Oslo Accords and their aftermath points to the starkly contrasting objectives of Israel and the Palestinians." "Rubenberg conveys how Israeli policies have eroded Palestinian commitment to a peace process, how U.S. intervention has affected the region, and how pervasive corruption within the Palestinian government has played a role. Her somber conclusion supports the contention that peace in the region, while hoped for by many, depends entirely on unlikely shifts in policy and objectives on all sides. Which leaves the Palestinians further from realizing their aspirations for self-determination than at any time since 1967."--BOOK JACKET.
