PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas
submitted the entity's formal request for assistance in achieving “the
Palestinian people's just demands” in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon. However, within hours after the news hit the media,
the umbrella Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) rushed to deny the letter
constituted an official launch of the PA's statehood bid at the international
body. PLO spokesman Xavier Abu Eid said the letter from the Ramallah-based PA
government headquarters was not “official.” Only the PLO, he said, was authorised
to submit the final, official request for recognition as a new Arab country,
and ask for membership within the ranks of the UN. “The PA does not have any
international relations mandate,” Abu Eid told the DPA German press
agency. “The only one that can negotiate or sign agreements is the PLO, so
the PLO is going to submit the official request.”
At the end of the day, however,
it may not matter much. The PLO was founded at the 1964 Arab League Summit in
Cairo. The PLO was designated upon its inception as the “sole legitimate
representative of the Palestinian people” by some 100 Arab nations - although
Hamas is not represented, nor is the Islamic Jihad or any numerous Islamic
terrorist organizations.
To
this day, its charter continues to call for the destruction of "The
Zionist Entity" despite numerous unfulfilled promises by Arafat to
international leaders to remove the call for the destruction of Israel and the
Jews.
Due
to the fact that at the time of its inception, Jordan and Egypt occupied Judea,
Samaria and Gaza, the PLO charter also states its agreement to the fact that there
is actually no justification for an independent Palestinian country in those
areas: “This Organisation does not exercise any territorial sovereignty
over the West Bank (Judea and Samaria -ed.), the Gaza Strip or in the Himmah
Area (part of Jerusalem).” (Article 24) (The
intention has always been to destroy Israel and deprive Jews of their right to Jewish
ancestral land!)
Till Death of
Israel Do Us Part!
Mahmoud Abbas announced that he would ask the UN Security Council to
recognize a Palestinian state. While citing the 1967 borders for a future
Palestinian state in reference to his UN application, Abbas stressed that the
real Palestinian borders were laid down by the UN in 1947. (This is next step in the plan of destruction of Israel!)
They Oppose Statehood Bid, because It Recognises Israel
Palestinian Authority
unity is further away then ever as the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups
unite to denounce PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for his “unilateral moves.”
Statements by the two terrorist groups highlight the split in the Palestinian
Authority and find Hamas and Islamic Jihad in rare agreement with Israel and
the United States, although for contradictory reasons.

It was
disgusting to watch how TV news broadcasters were trying to justify the action
of the Islamic mob, upon reporting the attack on

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud
Abbas went back on his assurance 24 hours earlier to Saudi, European and
Egyptian officials and decided to go through with his application to the UN
Security Council on Sept. 23 for the admission of a Palestinian state to the
world body. This was a pointed rebuff to the Obama administration whose envoys
offered to renew US ties with the Palestinians if they refrained from applying
to the Security Council.
PA Apartheid State, where Only Muslims are
Welcome!
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has
instructed Israeli embassies in Europe and the U.S. to file strong protests
with the governments of their host countries against comments by the PA
official, Maen Areikat, who said that Jews would not be welcome to live in the
PA state. The implication, said Lieberman, was that more than 350,000 Jews who
live in areas the PA claims for its state would have to leave their homes. The Palestinian
Authority and the PLO are not on the same page regardling whether their
hoped-for new state will welcome people of all faiths.
(If the PA feels that it can ignore the Geneva Convention and transfer Jews
from Judea and Samaria with support of international anti-Semites, that gives
Israel a green light to implement the
Sinai Option and free Jewish land from Arab occupation!)
Arab MK does not Defend Israel’s Honour
An Arab MK, Ibrahim Sarsur of the
Ra'am-Ta'al party, said that Israel in effect will cease to exist if it does
not see the break-in at the embassy in Cairo and sanctions by Turkey as “only
the beginning” of a reaction to its “crimes.” He charged that Israel’s
reactions to the break-in at the Cairo embassy and Turkey’s recent sanctions against
Israel “are a death blow to peaceful relations.” The Israeli legislator from
the Israeli Arab community accused Israel of behavior that “damages the Arab
people and their national honour” (It is clear that Arab members of Knesset do
not represent Israel. They are enemies within! Turkey sponsored the terrorist
flotilla, Egypt allowed an escalation of the attacks on the Israeli embassy,
but he blames Israel for damaging Arab honour?)
Learning from Israel about Healthcare
Israel provides better healthcare than
the US and at half the cost. With President Barack Obama’s health care bill
finally passed in the US, top US medical groups are looking to the Israel
healthcare model to learn about the country’s success in ensuring that all its
citizens receive quality primary medical care.
Attack on Israeli Embassy in Egypt
Egyptian government declares state of
alert early Saturday, Sept. 10, after thousands of demonstrators using
sledgehammers smashed through the wall outside the Israeli embassy, broke into
the building, hauled down the flag and dumped hundreds of documents through the
windows before setting it on fire.
Islamic Intimidation of the Press
CNN journalists described mob that attacked
them during the riot at the Israeli embassy as “animals.” One other journalist
was called a spy and was almost raped. The worldwide news site reported a scene
that brought back ugly memories of the gang rape of CBS reporter Lara Logan
earlier this year during the Arab spring uprising against the Mubarak regime.
Quote of the Week:
"After endless campaigns of delegitimisation against Israel, and
attempts to brand it as an apartheid state, it turns out that the Palestinians
are the ones interested in apartheid." - Minister of Public Diplomacy
and Diaspora Yuli Edelstein, referring to statements made by Maen Areikat (or
Erikat), the PLO's ambassador to the United States that Jews would not be
allowed to live in the future state of Palestine - And
no international outrage!
Duplicity of Occupied Lands.
by Steven Shamrak.
There are many lands around the world that have been
occupied not so long ago by other countries. Many of them are still subjugated
to the rule of an occupying power. They were conquered during offensive or
defensive wars, throughout the process of establishment of statehood or as a
part of colonial and imperial policy. The following is a far from complete list
of the currently occupied lands:
The United Nations maintains a list of territories that do not
govern themselves. The list was initially prepared in 1946 and adopted in 1986.
It has officially endorsed control of these lands by their former colonial
powers!
It should be remembered that most countries around
the world (including
