What Palestinians Really Aim For

According to the new PLO ambassador to Lebanon, Abdullah Abdullah, as quoted from September 9, 2010 Al-Hayat Al-Jadida from Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook, the Palestinians do not have peace as a goal.
This is just a stage in their struggle against Israel.

Israel will experience what South Africa experienced. It will become isolated. They are threatening its legitimacy and are presenting it as a rebellious racist state. They are heaping war crimes on Israel. This is shown because many senior positioned Israelis are afraid to travel to Europe for fear of being put on trial for war crimes. One must remember that this man has just spoken about the Fatah, who were called PLO and were under Arafat who live in the Judea/Samaria or West Bank and are involved with peace talks with Netanyahu.

I discovered that Abdullah Abdullah has just recently taken on this position. Unless there are two Abdullah Abdullahs, he is a doctor from Afghanistan that is also a politician. He is known for having challenged the President of Afghanistan, H. Karzai, in recent elections and lost.

There is an embassy of Palestine in Lebanon. They have two Palestinian representatives. There was the Palestinian Ambassador Sharif Meshaal and the PLO (Fatah in Judea/Samaria) Abbas Zaki. They just had a farewell party for them both on October 23, 2009, so Abdullah Abdullah must have taken over for the PLO's.

He's working on the "dignity" of the PLO. Evidently Lebanon has a draft law and there are Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. He wants them to "contribute to the Lebanese economic cycle, progress and development. I guess he figures that's okay by them not working but living on aid from the UN. He said this on March 14th in a document when commenting on the Lebanon draft law. He is concerned with their rights.

Abbas Refuses to Recognize Jewish State

Nadene Goldfoot

Push has come to shove, and the President of the Arab "Palestinians" refuses to accept that Israel is a Jewish State. To do so might negate his idea of the right of return of thousands and thousands of Arabs to swamp his "Palestine", therefore putting Israel in danger all the more. It's their idea of driving Israel into the sea and ending it once and for all.

So we come to stalemate. Marshall, Obama's representative, has said that the only solution is to have a Palestine next door to Israel, no matter what, it looks like. Just get the job done, get it on his resume, two states, side by side, and then they can fight it out again. Marshall will then be out of the way of crossfire.

To have a state next door that does not recognize the most basic fact in that it is a state created as a haven for Jewish people, at a time in the world where there is no Jewish state at all, and this would be the only one, is insane. Would anything else be recognized? Rights, Safety ? No, this is the point. This is not a workable idea.

If everyone thought that Abbas was so willing to have a reasonable situation and work with Israel, they were mistaken. He has just taken a different tactic. He's just a different personality from Arafat, but has the very same intentions. It's a sad fact of life.

Abbas said all this at a conference. At the end he was presented a map covering all of Israel with the name on it in English, Palestine. There's his intention, boldly presented.
