Information
has glosseng: The expression victim of peace was a euphemism used by some of the Israeli left-wing politicians to refer to victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks in the period between the signing of September 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between Palestinians and Israel and the Al-Aqsa Intifada sparked in September 2000. At Oslo, the Palestine Liberation Organization committed to curbing violence against Israelis in exchange for phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from parts of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and Palestinian self-government within those areas through the creation of the Palestinian Authority. However, in the period between September 1993 and September 2000, 256 Israeli civilians and soldiers were killed by Palestinian violence.
