Precisely two decades after the failure by the Golda Meir government to identify a willing Arab peace partner triggered the devastating 1973 Yom Kippur war, another Labor government wrought a far worse catastrophe by substituting an unreconstructed terror organization committed to Israelâs destruction for a willing peace partner. Instead of ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the âOslo peace processâ between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) created an ineradicable terror entity on Israelâs doorstep that has murdered some 1,600 Israelis, rained thousands of rockets and missiles on the countryâs population centers, and toiled tirelessly to delegitimize the right of the Jewish state to exist.
