(Israel Hayom) Dror Eydar - The conception that led Israel to October 7 was that our enemies think similarly to us. This misconception was the soul of the Oslo Accords, which assumed that at the heart of the conflict there are two national movements, and if each movement gets half of what it wants, we will achieve peace. We thought the other side also wants a good future for their children. We assumed that if we just talk, convince, and explain, we can compromise and reach peace and coexistence, which blinded us from seeing the cruel reality clearly. While we recognized the Palestinian nationality - although it was invented to wage war against us - the other side never recognized Jews as a nationality, as a people entitled to national self-determination in their historical homeland. And we're not talking just about Hamas but about the Palestinian Authority. Article 20 of its charter states that Jews are not a nation but a religion. No economic rehabilitation will solve the problem. The moment they can, they will try to slaughter us again. The writer is the former Israeli ambassador to Italy. 2025-02-27 00:00:00Full Article
