https://www.jstor.org/stable/20468333 review article of a Raja Shehadeh (lawyer from Al Haq) book which explains the shortcomings of both Oslo and the PA (this is from 2000). A recent Atlantic article about the failure of the PA. The reality is, on the ground in the West Bank there is little to no support for the PA and the other user’s claims are neither contentious nor novel.

That's not the only point made though is it? It also says most in Palestine disagree with the Oslo accords, and regard the PLO "as subcontractors for Israel". These seem like much more contentious claims to me, and I don't think it's ridiculous to ask if they are backed up at all. But rather than engaging with it you're suggesting that asking the question should make someone "embarrassed by their ignorance". And yet you're the one you used the phrases "corrupt and ineffectual" - which isn't what the section said in the first place.
