 Palestinian views of the peace process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some Palestinian leaders have said that the peace process is intended to achieve a permanent peace with the State of Israel; other Palestinians have maintained, throughout the entire process, the goal of destroying Israel.
The stated goal of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad is to conquer Israel and replace it with an Islamic theocracy or Islamist state.
[3] Arafat, who was the primary Palestinian leader until his 2004 death, had to deal with unfavorable views by many Israelis, who saw him as merely using the peace process to extract short-term concessions and merely viewing it as a stepping stone on the road to the complete destruction of the state of Israel.

 Palestinian Tragedy. Com - Harun Yahya
After all of the fake peace scenarios, the election of Ariel Sharon, "The Butcher of Lebanon," as prime minister demonstrated that the Zionists had decided to continue their policy of occupation and cruelty rather than peace.
The conditions that are necessary for a just peace in Palestine include the following: Israel must withdraw from the Occupied Territories, refugees must be allowed to return to their homes, Palestinians being held in Israeli jails must be tried by due process, and the final status of Jerusalem must be determined.
This is the context in which Israel and the PLO began the peace process during the early 1990s.

 Palestinian / European / American Cooperation in Education - PEACE Programme
At the same time, the PEACE Programme should, as in the past, continue to initiate projects, in close co-operation with the Palestinian universities and the Ministry of Higher Education, and to associate member universities to their execution.
The specific conditions in which Palestinian higher education institutions function and their excessive dispersion over a relatively small area, with physical communication and mobility often rendered impossible, call for the intensive and imaginative use of alternative delivery systems and of the distance mode as a main instrument to overcome these difficulties.
The PEACE Programme should therefore continue to expand its membership and to broaden the range of its activities in order to further promote co-operation with Palestinian universities and thus to make a specific contribution of the academic communities to the peace process in the Middle East.

 israelinsider: Views: Peace process: Israel's path to suicide
Evading the fact that Israel is being asked to cave in to extortion, advocates of the "peace process" treat Arab and Israeli claims as morally equivalent.
Under Arafat's Palestinian Authority, Palestinians are subject to ruthless censorship, in contrast to Israel's freedom of speech; expropriation and summary executions in contrast to the objective rule of law; and dictatorial edicts in contrast to political and economic liberty.
A concession by Israel of land for peace is a concession that it is an "oppressor" -- it is a surrender of its moral legitimacy.

 Avoiding Mideast Peace?: Bush, Europe and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict - Council on Foreign Relations
For the Bush Administration, the critical determinants have been the collapse of the Oslo process, the deteriorating situation on the ground, the September 11 attacks and the outlook of the president and his top advisors.
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.
For Israel, assurances about the future demilitarization of a Palestinian state, international security guarantees and a denial of the refugees “right of return” to Israel are all elements that would generate greater support for the plan.

The head of the Political Committee of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah, Abdullah Abdullah, stressed that third-party intervention should be based on international law and United Nations resolutions, as well as on the Advisory Opinion of the ICJ on the building of the separation wall.
That process had been doomed from the start because it ignored the fundamentally contradicting expectations of both parties, as well as the need to negotiate and agree on the most crucial contentious issues before signing.
The basis for mutual peace negotiations should be mutual understanding, but that could only be achieved if both sides came to terms and coped with their respective history and trauma.

Many in the Palestinian government have already given up their posts, as Abbas has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Ahmed Qorei and the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority Cabinet also resigned, Erakat said.
That view was not shared by some angry Fatah supporters, who openly blamed Abbas for the tidal shift in Palestinian politics.

 Let the Fight for Peace Begin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Not until a Palestinian leadership emerges that is capable of dismantling the infrastructure of terrorism will the peace process move forward—with or without a road map.
Sooner rather than later, however, a much bolder approach will be called for: an international protectorate, led by the United States, that would put the Palestinian territories in trust and supervise the establishment of a Palestinian state with democratic political institutions, a transparent economic structure, an independent judiciary and an effective security force.
At this point only a fraction of Palestinian security services are under their control; the rest still answer to Yasir Arafat, who has no interest in cooperating with an effort that would rob him of his residual relevance.

Among the Palestinians there is a growing recognition that anti-Israeli terrorism has failed to advance their cause.
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.
