[Jpost] "In the past 25 years, Israel’s economy has changed from a socialist command economy to a free-market economy and today Israel’s GDP per capita is higher than Japan’s."The so-called "Oslo process," is really two processes. The first was the Oslo grinding of the peace processor. It began with secret negotiations between Israeli leftists with ties to then-foreign minister Shimon Peres in Oslo, Norway, in 1993. It led to Israel’s recognition of the Paleostine Liberation Organization and the establishment of the PLO-controlled Paleostinian Authority to run the Paleostinian autonomy in Judea, Samaria and Gazoo. It also led to a seven-year attempt by Israel to make peace with the PLO.
The grinding of the peace processor, was the brainchild of the Israeli Left. It was predicated on the notion that without the PLO there can be no peace. And without peace, based on territorial concessions, Israel has no hope of surviving, let alone prospering.
