How Fatah says 'no'

Over on another blog, a few recent quotes by Palestinian notables are given. These quotes show precisely why it is pointless to continue the farce of peace negotiations with the current Palestinian leadership. They also indicate that the United States administration might be completely in the dark about the realities of the Middle-East. Which is a valid suspicion at this point, as the current administration seems to be making a pig’s breakfast of our relations with our only ally in that dangerous part of the world.


"...there is a need to create and endorse new struggling tools, such as the popular resistance, and to increase our efforts in the international arena to isolate and punish Israel, prevent it from deepening its relations with the European Union and attempt to expel it from the United Nations.
~Nabil Shaath, Fatah Central Committee member~



"... the PA should not repeat the mistake of the past, when it engaged in a 'deaf dialogue' with Israel for 18 years after the signing of the Oslo Accords."
~Abbas Zaki, Member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Member of the Fatah Central Committee and former Palestinian envoy to Lebanon~



"...the Palestinians may also demand the implementation of United Nations Resolution 181, which was adopted in 1947 and recommends the division of the British Mandate of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab, with the Jerusalem-Bethlehem area being under special international protection."
~Abbas Zaki, Member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Member of the Fatah Central Committee and former Palestinian envoy to Lebanon~

NOTES

POPULAR RESISTANCE: A politically correct word for terrorism, i.e. killing the civilians of the other side as practiced by revolutionary groups that many Europeans worship.
ISOLATE AND PUNISH ISRAEL: Maintain a boycott while engaging in terrorism; status quo.
ATTEMPT TO EXPEL IT FROM THE UNITED NATIONS: Turn the United Nations into the League of Nations.
DEAF DIALOGUE: Arab monologue.

Treppenwitz expresses himself well. Read him.
