Peace or Terror?

One might have thought the rate of terrorism would have fallen since Israel reached the famous "Oslo accords" with the PLO in September 1993. The reverse has been the case.

Which were the four worst years for terror fatalities since 1967? In order: 1996, 1994, 1993 and 1995. Each of the years since the accords was worse than any of the years before them. The trend has changed since the May 1996 election of the Likud party coalition under Binyamin Netanyahu.

• Annual fatalities since 1991
• Monthly fatalities since the start of the intifada (December 1987)
• Annual car thefts, 1993-1997
• Hizbullah attacks since 1990
