I feel angry not only because this agreement failed to fulfill the aspirations of the
Palestinian people but also because Israel has used the time since Oslo to confiscate
more land to expand existing settlements and to build new ones.
Palestinian society is fragmented by the long-term trauma — exacerbated in some
cases by aspects of its own culture — and everyday struggles imposed by the ongoing
Israeli occupation.
