 Ten Years Since Oslo: The PLO's "People's War" Strategy and Israel's Inadequate Response, by Joel S. Fishman
According to the "people's war" paradigm, borrowed from Marxist-Leninist traditions in China and Vietnam, conflict is waged on both the political and military levels, but for militarily weaker guerilla groups, political conflict is more important, especially the delegitimization of an adversary and the division of his society.
From the perspective of a "peoples' war," incitement in the media and schools is part of the internal mobilization of Palestinian society for continuing long-term conflict and preparing it to make sacrifices associated with war.
The main accomplishment of the Oslo accords was to give the PLO a territorial base that provided a viable option for waging a sustained guerilla war against Israel for the purpose of achieving its strategic objective.

 Mackubin Thomas Owens on Saul Singer's Confronting Jihad
Israelis have lived under the specter of terrorism for years, but especially so since the outbreak of the "Oslo War" in the fall of 2000.
Singer was one of the first Israeli commentators to criticize the Oslo "peace process." To see how right he was and how wrong its advocates were, it helps to remember that when the Accords were signed in 1993, the Palestinian Intifada was exhausted and Yasser Arafat's power had reached its nadir.
Singer argues that 9/11 made it clear that "Israel and America are both on the receiving end of what is essentially the same jihad: an expansionist war by militant Islamists who cannot tolerate any form of non-Islamic power." President Bush seemed to recognize this state of affairs in the wake of 9/11.

But the idea to deliver territories to the Palestinians even before they truly recognize Israel's right to exist in its 1967 borders, and even before they gave up their demand to settle some of their people inside Israel proper, means that Israel invited the still-declared enemy into its territory.
In priciple, the Oslo agreement was intended to actualize the formula "peace for land" vis a vis the Palestinians; in fact, the process was according to a completely different formula: "land for war" or "land for terrorism."

They argued that that in the days before Oslo, these terrorists were soldiers at war, and should be released as part of the peace we would now all enjoy.

Since Oslo, more than thirteen hundred Israelis have been murdered, and many thousands more injured, far more than were killed and injured by terror in the full 45 years preceding Oslo.
