Frankenthal would not have honored Oslo if he were a Palestinian

Frankenthal would not have honored Oslo if he were a Palestinian

[IMRA: Yitzchak Frankenthal is the chair of the Bereaved Families Forum, a
group of Israeli and Palestinians who lost a family member during the course
of Oslo (for example, the Palestinian parents of a suicide bomber and the
Israeli parents of the victims) who all agree that Israel should make
concessions for peace. The question of if the Palestinians should also make
concessions for peace has never been addressed by the group. The European
Union provides funding for the high profile publicity campaigns Mr.
Frankethal organizes that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It would
appear from the quotation below that Mr. Frankenthal does not expect the
Palestinian to honor the cornestone of the "Oslo process" - the rejection of
the use of violence (a solemn promise signed by Arafat on behalf of the
Palestinians) - a process that Yitzchak Frankenthal ostensibly supports.]

"Had I myself been born into the political and ethical chaos that is the
Palestinians' daily reality, I would certainly have tried to kill and hurt
the occupier; had I not, I would have betrayed my essence as a free man. "

[Extract from a speech given by Yitzchak Frankenthal, Chair of the Bereaved
Families Forum, outside of the Prime Minister's residence on July 27, 2002.]
