The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions Of A People Under Siege

The Oslo Syndrome examines the Oslo debacle in which Israel sought to win peace through territorial and other concessions even as Palestinian leaders assured their people their objective was still Israels destruction. Psychiatrist and historian Kenneth Levin relates Oslo to the long history of Jews under siege subjected to defamation discrimination and other abuses seeking to end the assaults through self-blame and accommodation to their oppressors.
