yuval, the Palestinian people are pawns in the Islamic agenda.

yuval, in 1977 the PLO executive committee member, Zahir Muhsein, conceded that the Palestinian people do not exist ..... they are being used as pawns to further an agenda .... an agenda to eradicate the Jews from Israel. The Jews have been warned from the mouth of the enemy himself ..... why is "appeasement" still the name of the game? Janet. IMO.

Way back on March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."
