Puff Peace - How the Middle East peace process killed itself. By Anne Applebaum It is from that vantage point that she draws her conclusions, which appear in her book Drinking the Sea at Gaza, in her journalism, and in recent interviews she has given, including one I happened to see over the weekend in the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza. That difference in status helped compound another strange side effect of the Oslo accords, which gave the Palestinian leadership the responsibility for keeping order in the PA zones but didn't give them the means to stop Israel from building settlements—or even to insure that students from Gaza could attend their universities on the West Bank. According to the terms of the accords, the Palestinian Authority was given two zones of territory to rule in Gaza and the West Bank. slate.msn.com /?id=2063002   (2451 words)
