that the violence escalated after Oslo, when the road to statehood seemed assured.

I think, whilst acknowledging the conditions to which you allude, one must also recognize that elements within the Arab sphere do not wish Israel to exist - period.

The roadblocks, demolitions, delays, the fence itself, did not exist prior to the Intifada. Conditions for the Palestinians reflect the violence against Israelis.

Meanwhile, I keep putting up links which nobody apparently reads but here it goes again. Some history, which will show that the violence against Jews in this region predated Israel, let alone the war of 1967.
