Beyond Oslo: The Palestinian Struggle After the Collapse of the Peace Process
#FreePalestine #AfterOslo #DecoloniseNow #PalestinianLiberation #WeAreAllPalestine
For years, the global community insisted the path to Palestinian freedom was paved through peace talks, diplomacy, and dialogue.
But where has that road led?
Decades after the signing of the Oslo Accords, there is no Palestinian state, no justice, no peace—and no accountability for an apartheid regime that continues to bomb, blockade, and bulldoze its way through Palestinian land and life.
Now, Palestinians live in the shadow of a “peace process” that never delivered peace—only deeper occupation.
The Oslo Illusion
The 1993 Oslo Accords were sold to the world as a breakthrough—a handshake on the White House lawn that would end a century of conflict.
But on the ground, Oslo created a trap. While Palestinians handed over recognition and cooperation, Israel accelerated settlement construction, tightened military control, and used the “peace process” as cover to expand its grip.
Today:
-
Over 750,000 Israeli settlers live illegally on Palestinian land
-
Gaza remains under total siege, described by the UN as “unlivable”
-
Jerusalem has been annexed and ethnically cleansed
-
Palestinian refugees remain stateless across the region
There was no peace—only pacification.
After Oslo: A New Era of Struggle
The world may pretend the “peace process” still lives in backrooms and summits. But Palestinians know the truth:
We are now in a new chapter.
This is not a diplomatic crisis. It is a decolonial struggle.
Palestinians today are not just asking for negotiations.
They are demanding:
-
The end of Israeli military occupation
-
The dismantling of apartheid systems
-
The right of return for all refugees
-
An end to the siege on Gaza
-
Freedom, sovereignty, and dignity—for all of Palestine
Resistance is Alive—in Every Form
The Palestinian struggle today is global, diverse, and rising. It lives in:
-
Youth-led resistance in the West Bank, where Jenin and Nablus rise despite daily raids.
-
Gaza’s refusal to die, even under bombardment and blockade.
-
Refugee voices, passing down memories of lost villages.
-
BDS campaigns worldwide, holding corporations and governments accountable.
-
Campus occupations in the UK, US, and Europe, demanding universities cut ties with genocide.
-
Art, poetry, music, and fashion—telling stories that bombs cannot erase.
Even as the world tries to silence Palestine, the resistance grows louder.
Recognition Is Not Liberation—But It’s a Start
Recent recognitions of Palestinian statehood by the UK, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Canada, and Australia mark a shift—but not a solution.
These gestures are welcome. But symbolic recognition does not replace political will.
What Palestinians need now is:
-
Action, not applause.
-
Sanctions, not statements.
-
Support for justice, not sympathy without consequences.
Palestine Is Not a Peace Project—It’s a People
The failure of the peace process doesn’t mean Palestinians have failed.
It means the world failed them—by expecting liberation to come through frameworks built on their oppression.
Now is the time for a new conversation. One not about coexisting with apartheid, but dismantling it.
Not about managing occupation, but ending it.
Not about asking for permission to exist, but demanding what has always belonged to Palestine.
The Struggle Continues—With or Without the World’s Approval
Palestinians have moved beyond Oslo.
Now the world must catch up.
No more waiting rooms.
No more dead-end summits.
No more negotiations while bombs fall on Rafah and bulldozers level homes in Hebron.
This is a call to stand not just with Palestine’s peace, but with Palestine’s power.
Because even after all the broken promises—Palestine refuses to be broken.
