Ali Abunimah has some thoughts on the subject:
“As constituted by the Oslo accords, the Palestinian Authority harms Palestinian interests, because it obscures Israel’s responsibility as the occupying power without providing any minimal protection for the people against Israel’s continuous onslaught. Its existence has allowed the spurious agenda of ‘reform’ to trump Israel’s obligations under the Geneva Conventions and UN resolutions. Palestinian leaders should no longer accept the responsibility for governing Palestinians on behalf of the occupying power. Israel should bear the full cost of its choices.”
