Exactly. The PLO did this during the 1993 Oslo Accord negotiations, as you posted.

Unfortunately the PLO isn't the only factor to be considered in Palestine; it's not the only 'ruling force' - the only 'acting force.'

read an article from uri avnery in regards to bibi's visit to where he rules. here are some excerpts:

Bibi and the Yo-Yos

By URI AVNERY

It was all rather disgusting.

There they were, the members of the highest legislative bodies of the world’s only superpower, flying up and down like so many yo-yos, applauding wildly, every few minutes or seconds, the most outrageous lies and distortions of Binyamin Netanyahu.

It was worse than the Syrian parliament during a speech by Bashar Assad, where anyone not applauding could find himself in prison. Or Stalin’s Supreme Soviet, when showing less than sufficient respect could have meant death.

What the American Senators and Congressmen feared was a fate worse than death. Anyone remaining seated or not applauding wildly enough could have been caught on camera – and that amounts to political suicide. It was enough for one single congressman to rise and applaud, and all the others had to follow suit. Who would dare not to?

The sight of these hundreds of parliamentarians jumping up and clapping their hands, again and again and again and again, with the Leader graciously acknowledging with a movement of his hand, was reminiscent of other regimes. Only this time it was not the local dictator who compelled this adulation, but a foreign one.

The most depressing part of it was that there was not a single lawmaker – Republican or Democrat – who dared to resist.

it's true. it was quite depressing watching the yes-men and women, like a bunch of servants, nodding and clapping to whatever filth that came out of bibi's mouth.

this pathetic display by the u.s. lawmakers cements the fact that bibi and AIPAC rules them.
