Summary
Author of Chapter 5 of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, “The Price of “Peace” on Their Terms” (Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, lines 102-110, lines 1046-1104).
Details
- The chapter’s opening, read in part 1, argues Oslo was not a bona fide peace agreement: its Declaration of Principles does not mention occupation or a Palestinian state, the PLO was financially and politically cornered when it signed, and the back channel conceded self-rule without an end to occupation and without a settlement freeze (lines 1046-1104). The chapter continues in part 2.
