Oslo is the gate of loss and deviation

Twenty four years have passed and the Palestinian people are still suffering the consequences of the Oslo Agreement signed by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Oslo on 13^th of September, 1993 which was known as the Declaration of Principles  which made way for Interim Self-Government Arrangements. This marked the beginning of compromises of   our national inalienable rights.

The Oslo Agreement was a political and democratic crime against our occupied homeland and which also belittled  the blood of the martyrs who scarified  their souls for Palestine.  Marginalization of the Palestinian key issues ( settlements, Jerusalem, refugees, borders, and security) was one of the underlying  catastrophic results of this agreement. Moreover, it created the path of negotiations which killed the aspirations of the Palestinian people.. It was also exploited by the Israeli Occupation to expand the settlements threefold on the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967  and which are shamelessly protected by  the security collaboration between the PNA and the occupation which  prevents any act of resistance.

We mark this day to assure the following :

First: Palestine is a holy land that cannot be bargained  and  only its indigenous people  who scarified their souls to restore  it shall live there.  Negotiations and compromises will not erase the blood of its martyrs.

Second: The negotiations with the Israeli Occupation have  only wrought catastrophes upon  our people and loss to our cause.

Third: The Oslo Agreement allowed the Israeli Occupation to control our economy , natural resources ,and daily living conditions  through the annex of Paris Economic Agreement which has been strangling the Palestinian people and subjecting them to unjust financial, commercial a political sieges.

Fourth: Oslo gave up 78% of the Palestinian lands with a stroke of a  pen. The negotiators have  continued in the path of bargaining to give up what remains of our land ignoring the scarifies of the martyrs, the wounded and the detainees. We assure that they are not authorized to take over our people’s issues and self-determination.

Fifth: The unjust Oslo Agreement confirms what the resistance proved ; what is taken by force can only be restored by force,  and the only path to restore  the stolen rights of our people is legitimate resistance.

Sixth: The time has come for the makers of this agreement to  learn that  futile  negotiations have and will always bring failure,  and they should  join to the path of resistance to achieve the goal of liberation.

Seventh: The blood of the martyrs will purify the tragic effects of this agreement. Security collaboration and   waiver  of the rights  is doomed to fail  with the steadfastness of the detainees and the wounded.

Eighth: The Palestinian right is indivisible.

 Our message to our Palestinian people is “the darkest hour is just before the dawn”
