Abu Mazen and the “Prisoners’ Document” – A Man of Peace?

1.  Five leading terrorists compiled the “Prisoners’ Document”, which has been embraced by Abu Mazen: Fatah’s Marwan Barghouti, serving 5 terms of life imprisonment, Hamas’ Abd Al-Khaliq Al-Natsheh, Islamic Jihad’s Bassam Al- Saadi, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s Abd Al-Rahim Mallouh and Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s Mustafa Badarneh. 

 

2.  The goal of the “Document” is to restore coordination between the PLO and Hamas, while adhering to the fundamentals of the Palestinian attitude toward the “Zionist Entity”.  The goal is not to advance peace with Israel, but to clarify that “Palestinian Unity” supersedes any agreement signed with Israel.

 

3.  The “Claim of Return” by Palestinian refugees to the pre-1967 area of Israel, is emphasized 5 times in the “Document”.  The “Claim of Return” is a euphemism for the inadmissibility of the Jewish State.

 

4.  The Stage-by-Stage Policy, which was adopted by the PLO in 1974, has been reaffirmed. The “document” calls for the establishment of an independent Palestinian State, in the “1967 area”, without withdrawing claims to the “Pre-1967 area” – a provisional stage/accord.

 

5.  Terrorism is encouraged by calling for the “widening the circles of resistance” and for the “release of all prisoners” held by Israel “by all means”.  These prisoners are held for terrorism and not for theft and burglary.  Precedents determine that the terms “by all means” and “resistance” are code words for terrorism, including the abduction of Israelis as bargaining chips.

 

6.  Homicide Bombing is Heralded by urging support of “those who bore the burden of resistance, in particular the martyrs’ families”.  “Martyrs” is a common reference, by Palestinians, to homicide bombers.

 

7.  PLO-Hamas cooperation is highlighted by calling for the implementation of the March 2005 Cairo Accord, which was the latest in a series of PLO-Hamas understandings, engineered by Abu Mazen since the signing of the Oslo Accord.  The understandings state that “Palestinian Unity” and Palestinian national claims – especially the “claim of return” – supersede any accord with Israel.

 

8.  Abu-Mazen is the architect of Palestinian hate-education in schools, mosques and official media – the most authentic reflection of his vision, and a manufacturing line of homicide-bombing.  Notwithstanding Abu Mazen’s seemingly moderate appearance, his embrace of the “Prisoners’ Document” has reaffirmed the fundamentals of his own hate-education:  idolizing homicide bombers, the “claim of return”, terrorism and the inadmissibility of the Jewish State.

The Phantom of the Palestinian Refugees Exposed

*General Alexander Galloway, UNRWA Jordan Office Director (April 1952 briefing to the American Christian Palestine Committee):The Arab states do not want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as an open sore, as an affront to the UN and as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders don’t give a damn whether the refugees live or die.” (Asaf Romirowsky, Middle Eastern Studies, September 2010).

 

*Dr. Benny Morris (Irish Times, Feb. 21, 2008): “…In defiance of the will of the international community, as embodied in the UN General Assembly Resolution 181 of November 29th, 1947, [the Palestinians] launched hostilities against the Jewish community in Palestine in the hope of aborting the emergence of the Jewish state and perhaps destroying that community. But they lost…”

 

*15 million Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims were displace in 1947 in order to create Pakistan. No right of return…

 

*300,000 Palestinians were expelled from Kuwait, in 1991, in response to Abu Mazen’s PLO collaboration with Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait. No Arab or international uproar…

 

*Scores of thousands of Palestinians were expelled from Jordan and killed – in 1970 – in response to Abu Mazen’s PLO attempt to topple the Hashemite regime.

 

*The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) employs 6,300 persons, resettling gradually 27MN refugees. UNRWA – the largest UN agency – employs 29,000 Palestinians, perpetuating Palestinians’ refugee-status.

 

*The phantom of the Palestinian refugees – just like Abu Mazen’s hate education – constitute the most authentic reflection of the Palestinian Vision, aiming to de-legitimize and de-humanize the Jewish State.

 

*The root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the existence – and not the size – of the Jewish State.
