It is true that starting with the Oslo Accords a large majority of Palestinians ended up under PA. But it was still Israel in control of the roads, border checkpoints, water and many other resources. Let's also not forget about places like Hebron where the Arab population has always been subjected to curfews for the benefit of the tiny Jewish minority.
But that's not the main thing here. The peace process failed, once again. But let us look at what Israel is really doing (I mean the ruling elite)? Do they really desire harmony and peace? I am not so sure anymore. They wouldn't draw borders, most of the time, and when they do they create conditions of ethnic inequality within those borders. Israeli Arab citizens still don't have equal rights. Is there a better pretext for conflict?
