ANOTHER PALESTINIAN STATE?
NO WAY JOSE !
The proposal that a third Palestinian state be established between the two existing ones is often advanced as a "reasonable" solution to the "Palestinian problem." When the idea is Supported by Arabs (and, at times, PLO) spokesmen, it is hailed as a sign of " moderation." Yet in rare candid moments, some of these spokesmen have revealed the real reason behind their support of the third-state notion. Here are two authoritative examples, quoted from statements by high-ranking PLO and Arab League officials:
It is only for tactical reasons that we carefully stress our Palestinian identity, for it is in the national interest of the Arabs to encourage a separate Palestinian identity to counter Zionism: The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the ongoing battle against Israel. . . After we will have attained all our rights in the whole of Palestine, we must not postpone, even for a single moment, the reunification of Jordan and Palestine. (Zohair Mohsin, then head of PLO @ Military Operations Dept. and member of PLO Executive Council, in interview for Dutch newspaper Trouw, 31 March 1977)
Speaking in an interview on Radio Monte Carlo on 26 November 1979, the secretary-general of the Arab League, Shazli al-Klibi, said:
The Arab leaders, despite the differences in their approaches, are united in their view that the confrontation with Zionism will not end with the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in a few years' time. On the contrary, the confrontation will continue, with the marshaling of the military, economic and political resources of the Arab states, in order to defeat Zionism.
(Shazli al-Klibi, secretary-general of the Arab League, interviewed on Radio Monte Carlo, 26 November 1976) The fact is that, for 19 years (1948-1967), Judea-Samaria (the so-called "West Bank") was under Jordanian rule, and another Arab-Palestinian state could easily have been set up there. Yet no such state was established, nor even suggested. Clearly, there was no Point in calling for a Palestinian state that already existed.
So... when I was promoting the fact that JORDAN IS PALESTINE I was not wrong.
