You seem to have ignored the prior comment I wrote to you.
Israel signed Oslo with the understanding that the "Palestinians" would turn from terrorists into a responsible polity, in exchange for which Israel would welcome them as a neighbor in good standing. The PA took the guns with which they had been armed by Israel and used them to radically increase terrorism, on the theory that Israel had capitulated to terrorism in 1993 by agreeing to Oslo, so ratcheting up the terrorism would gain them more concessions. That would be the intellectual argument, anyway. The emotional argument is far more straight forward - the "Palestinians" have been raised for generations, from the moment of birth, to despise all Jews and seek to kill them in any way possible, and no paper agreement was going to change that. That would be doubly true when Yasser Arafat was giving speeches in Arabic at home calling for more terrorism while telling the West he would do the opposite. And yes, the PA paying for terrorists, known as "pay for slay", and worshipping as heroes the most gruesome of those, that certainly doesn't sound like a government looking for peaceful conditions with its neighbor, does it?
Every Israeli who is old enough remembers the (year) 2000 Ramallah Lynching, which took place in a PA police station. That single incident alone tells you everything you would need to know. Beyond that, ask anyone what it was like living in Israel in the mid-to-late 1990s into the early 2000s, when city buses, pizzerias and wedding halls were getting bombed on a constant basis. Every single person in Israel lived in absolute fear, they were on guard every moment they were in public, and knew someone (and usually several people) who had died from a suicide bombing. And they all knew that this came directly from Oslo, and were wondering why they should ever trust those people again. Not only was life in Israeli cities living in pure, non-stop terror, but every evil event was celebrated widely throughout the West Bank with public displays, including dancing in the streets, toddlers dressed as terrorists with toy AK-47s, and candy passed on to children. The whole thing was unbelievably gruesome. Ever hear of the Sbarro's bombing, in the center of Jerusalem? A bunch of children murdered, others maimed, and wide celebrations throughout the West Bank. Condemnations? Crickets. And that was one horrendous example, but only one of hundreds, with thousands of Israeli civilians murdered overall. The carnage was non-stop.
I am not allowed by YT to post links. Everything I've written can be easily sourced online. If you somehow legitimately can not find even one item I've mentioned above, then let me know, and I can see whether or not I can point you in the right direction without getting my comment removed.
