	israelinsider: From Helsinki to Oslo
		As terrorism reached unprecedented levels, these administrations decided to continue the peace process, blindly pressing forward while the nation was splitting at the seams.
		That an Israeli government thought it could enlist Arafat as its proxy in the war on terrorism was bad enough; that we believed that the fewer constraints Israel placed on his rule, the better off we would be, was to me the height of madness.
		Despite Rabin's promises to abort the peace process if the guns supplied the Palestinians were ever turned against Israel, and despite mounting evidence that the Palestinian Authority (PA) was complicit in attacks against us - or at the very least was giving a green light to terror - the Oslo process continued.

	PEACE PROCESS FOR SOUTH ASIA - 1
		I was invited to a one-day workshop at the University of Karachi on the Lessons for India and Pakistan from the Arab-Israeli Peace Process.
		Peace making is a complex, comprehensive and long drawn process that in the ultimate analysis aims to create a situation in which a State will no longer consider another as a source of threat to its security.
		Critical to a sustainable peace process must be a well-designed and achievable set of confidence building measures that could lead to a change in security perception.

	Israeli-Palestinian Peace plans and final status proposals
		Palestinian refugees who fled Israeli in 1948 and 1967 want the right to return to their homes in Israel (Right of Return), and Palestinians historically have tried to limit Jewish immigration to Israel and abolish the Law of Return.
		- Israeli general and political leader Yigal Alon formulated this plan for partition of the West Bank with part of the land to be returned to Jordan as a solution for the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
		Some of the recent proposals are expressly designed to subjugate one side or the other and cannot be considered "peace plans." Some of the initiatives are intended to be the basis for a peace plan or a method of arriving at a peace plan, but aren't complete solutions and don't pretend to be.

	Israeli Bulldozers Won't Win Peace
		THE EXPECTATION of peace in the Middle East was based on the hopes, on one side, that Palestinians had at last accepted the fact of Israel's existence and would cease demonizing Jews and, on the other, that Israelis had come to recognize the legitimate grievances of a dispossessed people, however the dispossession came about.
		When the peace negotiations broke down, finally, over the issue of the right of millions of Palestinian refugees to reclaim ancestral properties within Israel, the old anxiety that the existence of the Jewish state itself was at risk had to resurface.
		During the years of the peace process it became clear that most Palestinian parents want for their children exactly what Israeli parents want, and that commonality must be taken back from the propagandists.

	Israeli Policies Could Tear Jews Apart
		After more than a year of tiny peace demonstrations, huge crowds have now gathered in Tel Aviv to say “no to occupation” and “yes to peace.” Several hundred officers and soldiers have publicly pledged not to serve in the army of occupation.
		In the late ‘90s, when peace seemed to be on the way, an intense struggle began to erupt between Conservative and Reform Jews, seeking to establish a foothold in Israel, and Orthodox Jews who wanted to maintain their monopoly on Israeli religious life.
		If Israeli policies continue to be militant, a majority of U.S. Jews could begin to question the centrality of Israel in Jewish life (a process that has already begun).

		Views A total of 57% of the respondents indicate that they will vote for qualified candidates regardless of their views of the peace process.
		Willingness to vote for peace supporters is high in all areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip though highest in Senin and Gaza City, while support for candidates opposed to the peace process is highest in Jericho, Ramallah, and Middle Gaza.

	How Much Do American Jews Support the Peace Process? - Middle East Quarterly
		This view is exactly the opposite of the one held by the U.S. government, which seeks a formula to permit the Palestinians to claim that they have revised their charter without their actually having to do so.
		The Orthodox occupy one end of the spectrum on the peace process; on the other end are those, just under one third of the total sample, who consider themselves either "fairly" or "very" distant from Israel and whose views are closest to those of the Clinton administration.
		Their perception of the peace process has changed substantially since 1993: what was once considered a quest for peace is now recognized as possibly part of a process intended to destroy Israel.

		For that, peace with Syria and the controversial withdrawal from the Golan Heights, are indispensable preconditons.
		Peace which restricts their freedom of movement to specific places even within their own town is meaningless and paralyzing to their socio-economic well-being.
		Israeli soldiers and settlers will be able to move freely in the area which leaves open the possibility of new massacres similar to what Baruch Goldstein did when he machinegunned tens of innocent civilians praying in Abraham Mosque, a year and a half ago.

	Avoiding Mideast Peace?: Bush, Europe and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict - Council on Foreign Relations
		The collapse of the Oslo process in late 2000-early 2001, and ensuing Israeli-Palestinian violence, convinced the newly installed Bush Administration that the situation was not ripe for resolution.
		Israelis and Palestinians have paid dearly for the continuing violence of the last three years.
		Therefore, post-9/11 the White House declared repeatedly the end of the Israeli occupation and the establishment of a viable, democratic Palestinian state to be critical for American national security.[13] These were very clear policy statements for an Administration that had little to say about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when it first came to office.

	israelinsider: Shimon the shrewd?
		If Arafat never deserved the Peace Prize, the question in Peres' mind must be "What did he accomplish to achieve the Nobel Peace Prize?" To validate his own prize, he has to be able to validate Yasser Arafat's prize.
		The only chance of peace is to support Sharon in his efforts to destroy the ability of the Arabs to kill Jews.
		By being his foreign minister wh o supported the process instead of achieving another worthless agreement with Arafat, he will be able to validate a rightful earning of the Nobel Peace Prize and perhaps even receive it with his rightful partner, Arik Sharon.

	First Israeli Withdrawal, Then a Chance to Make Peace - Council on Foreign Relations
		The daily restrictions and humiliations of the occupation, and the relentless Israeli encroachments on Palestinian land and lives, are the cause of Palestinian rage, not shortcomings in proposals made by Mr.
		He knew he was not about to sign a peace agreement that would enable his opposition to add the charge of capitulation to Israel to a long list of other complaints.
		Instead of aiming at a peace agreement that enables Israel to withdraw its forces from the territories, Israel will have to withdraw its forces from the territories in order to be able to negotiate a peace agreement.

	israelinsider: Views: Terror vs. peace in the Middle East (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		But as we in the U.S. learned on September 11th, and just about every Israeli has concluded after months of heart wrenching bombings and killings, you cannot negotiate with someone who has sworn on their life to annihilate you and your loved ones.
		Nevertheless, the situation in the Middle East is complicated because there are also many Palestinians who also want to live in peace and are seeking a just settlement to past losses and grievances.
		It may seem paradoxical to fight terror and seek peace at the same time - but it is not - it is the only realistic way to deal with this crisis.

	Two Views: Whither the Peace Process?
		While the chances of obtaining an end to the occupation through sustained violence are slim, the chances of obtaining an end to the occupation through bilateral negotiations alone are as non-existent as the chances of the Palestinians ever acquiescing in a permanent occupation, however restructured and relabeled.
		The second alternative is for the “international community” to impose peace on the belligerents, leaving their respective leaderships no choice and thereby relieving them of the need to agree to anything (other than minor details of implementation) with the other side.
		This is nothing but a transparent attempt to deflect criticism from Israeli state terror and to push the U.S. into conflicts that would lock its relations with the Arab and Muslim worlds into a downward spiral of increasing hostility and violence.

	israelinsider: Views: Barrier to peace at Israeli border (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In some places, the fence has been pushed a few miles east to include on the Israeli side as many Israeli settlements as possible, thus discouraging their future dismantlement under a comprehensive peace agreement between the two sides.
		No one needed a fence to tell Israelis where they would be unsafe, or Palestinians where they would be subject to security checks and arrest.
		There are others who believe that "bordering" is a two-way process, that it enables the creation of zones of interaction, a sort of frontier area in which the walls are slowly dismantled and people come together, strengthening peace through cooperation, joint planning and common projects.

	'Jerusalem women,' touring as Partners for Peace, fault Israeli policies

		Partners for Peace says that it works to bring to American audiences and media "the voices that often go unheard" as part of its advocacy for a "just and lasting settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." This year's tour, running from Oct. 7 to 24, is the 12th the group has sponsored.
		An Israeli in the audience, who had spent three years on active duty in the Israeli Defense Forces and another nine years as a reservist, challenged the view of Israeli soldiers at the checkpoints as "inhumane."

	Statement on the Middle East Peace Process - Adopted by the NJCRAC Executive Committee, Monday, October 23, 1995
		As the process moves toward negotiation of the permanent status issues, the NJCRAC reaffirms its support of the Government of Israel's commitment, reflecting an overwhelming consensus in Israel and among American Jews, to maintain Jerusalem as the eternal, undivided capital of -Israel.
		Such behavior should be repudiated unequivocally by all responsible Israeli and American Jewish leaders irrespective of their views on the peace process.
		The Jewish community relations field commits itself in the year ahead to work intensively on behalf of the peace process and to encourage debate of peace-process issues in an atmosphere of civility and mutual respect.

	Peace process in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
		The Peace process in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has taken shape over the years, despite the ongoing violence in the Middle East and an "all or nothing" attitude about a lasting peace, "which prevailed for most of the twentieth century" (Oded, 121).
		Since the 1970s there has been a parallel effort made to find terms upon which peace can be agreed to in both the Arab-Israeli conflict and in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
		Some countries have signed peace treaties, such as Egypt-Israel (1979), and Jordan-Israel (1994), whereas some have not yet found a mutual basis to do so.

	3 Views of the Israeli election / A certain hope for peace
		The Israelis know that this gap is not going to be closed through a radical socialist policy, but through a long and painful process of gradual amendment.
		Obviously, even the peace camp in Israel does not expect the Israeli government to simply put its signature on the dotted line on the bottom of this all-Arab proposal, which means practically with Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
		Instead of a unilateral Israeli disengagement, which is bound to leave many of the disputed issues open and bleeding -- we can work with Egypt and Saudi Arabia for a comprehensive and lasting peace.

	Vanguard - World : The peace that resolves the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
		This is the problem with the analysis that asserts as fact the powerlessness of moderate Israeli and Palestinian parties in the Middle East Peace Process.
		This process of resistance leading to harsher resistance which in turn results in greater resistance in turn gives rise to yet harsher repression is the cycle Dr. Bassem Eid seeks to break.
		For the extremists, it is an either—or dichotomy; an Israeli state in Palestine presupposes for the Israeli extremists the destruction of the pro-Palestinian state creation party; a Palestinian state on the other hand presupposes for the Palestinian extremists the destruction of the pro-Israeli state creation party.

		Israelis are realizing that their control of the West Bank and Gaza is unsustainable.
		The majority of Israelis reject Palestinian demands to allow the refugees of 1948 to return to their vanished homes in Israel proper, while most Palestinians dismiss Israeli insistence on maintaining some Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
		It was not surprising, therefore, that after being excluded from the process, both the Arabs and the Europeans blamed the United States for failing to deliver an Israeli-Palestinian agreement at Camp David.

	Getting the Arab-Israeli Peace Process Back on Track (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I say "unnecessary" because the broad outlines of a settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are known and are acceptable to substantial majorities on both sides.
		The failure of the Palestinian leadership under Yasser Arafat to accept those parameters at that time is now broadly recognized on the Palestinian side, and in the Arab world, as a tragic mistake.
		Even Hamas, the Islamic terrorist organization which preaches the destruction of Israel has recently acknowledged the pressure of Palestinian public opinion by declaring that it too would now be prepared to accept a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, albeit as an interim solution.
