Time to Deport the PLO from Israel
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.
On September 13, 1993, Arafat and Rabin shook hands over the Oslo Accord in the Rose Garden. At the end of this September, the PLOs Abbas finally officially disavowed the Oslo Accords.
The only reason the 80-year-old dictator of the PLO has a new $13 million palace, even while claiming to be short of funds, a $100 million bank account and a 1,000 member presidential guard is because of the same agreement with Israel that he just disavowed.
The PLO repeatedly violated that agreement by waging war against Israel. Its leaders, Arafat and Abbas, made a mockery of the negotiations. They sabotaged every opportunity to reach an agreement making it clear that they did not want a settlement and they did not want to negotiate.
Now Abbas has made it official.
Theres only one thing left for Israel to do. Its time to deport the dictator, who barely controls half the population that he claims to represent, his 1,000 member presidential guard, his 57,000 member Presidential Security Force and the rest of his 150,000 employees who get paid retirement at fifty and many of whom have not reported to work since 2007.
Its time to deport them all.
America, Europe and Japan have spent billions of dollars paying the salaries of terrorists who dont even bother pretending to work. Last year their salaries amounted to around $2 billion. Those who do work spend time processing the $130 million a year that the PLO pays to convicted terrorists in Israel.
The PLOs Palestinian Authority has a Central Elections Commission even though it has no elections. American taxpayers have invested $4.5 billion in promoting democracy in the PA in the last twenty years and there is now less democracy than there was when we first started throwing money at terrorists.
Abbas doesnt bother running for office. He doesnt bother negotiating with Israel. He doesnt bother complying with the Oslo Accords. All he does is throw tantrums at the UN. And if he wants to do that on a full time basis while enjoying the best Manhattan restaurants, the terrorist dictator can buy himself a nice condo in the Turtle Bay Towers overlooking the United Nations and homeless bums shooting up heroin in Dag Hammarskjold Park Plaza. Then he can denounce Israel weekly at the UN.
Or, better yet, give back his $100 million to the people he stole it from and give him a nice sleeping bag and a bench in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. The drug dealing terrorists on his payroll can supply the heroin.
Deport the Fatah members who have used billions in foreign aid to build themselves a corrupt terrorist empire with fake jobs and foreign aid. Deport the government Imams who screech on its television shows for war with the Jewish descendants of apes and pigs. Deport the Palestinian Authoritys terrorist media corps that celebrates every brutal act of Muslim terror and casually calls for genocide.
Deport them all.
The only justification for maintaining this corrupt monstrosity, these tens of thousands of terrorists and the constant calls for mass murder, was the Oslo Accords. Israel had signed an agreement. The PLO violated that agreement every time its terrorists murdered Israelis, every time it called for war with Israel and every time it attacked Israel internationally. But now it has finally disavowed it.
If the PLO is no longer bound by them, Israel isnt either.
The PLOs millionaire dictator has given up any legal claims he has to remaining in power and remaining in Israel. He doesnt hold elections so he isnt the democratic representative of anyone or anything. He claims a state that encompasses Gaza, but the 1.8 million people living there dont recognize his rule.
The only reason he was able to have his palace and his billion dollar budgets was that a handful of big countries insisted on pretending that this trainwreck was going somewhere. Now, even as his flag flies over the UN, Abbas has made it clear that its going nowhere. He doesnt want to negotiate with Israel.
He wants the UN to unilaterally impose his demands on Israel. These demands arent backed by democratic elections or legal agreements anymore. The dictator just expects to dictate to Israel.
And theres been enough of that already. Over 1,000 Israelis have been murdered by terrorists. Abbas trained and funded many of the terrorists who killed Israelis. Many of them were part of his presidential guard. Now he demands that the UN force Israel to free his terrorists so that they can kill Jews again.
Theres a better answer. Get rid of them all.
Deport the terrorists, deport their leaders, deport their flunkies, deport their economic advisers who figure out new ways of funneling foreign aid into Swiss bank accounts, deport the police who double as terrorists and deport the paid stone throwers. Deport the entire PLO and Hamas terrorist infrastructure to any country that is stupid enough to take them.
Maybe Cyprus or Tunisia will take them back. Or maybe Japan, which has spent hundreds of millions on funding the PLO, wants them. If not, how about Norway, which made this mess? We know the Saudis and Kuwait doesnt want them, no matter how much noise they make about their suffering.
That just leaves the United Nations. The UN headquarters in New York City is considered international territory. With three buildings full of useless and corrupt bureaucrats, itinerant dictators and their stooges, surely theres enough room to house the Palestinian Authority government-in-exile.
And the overflow of the Presidential Guard can be dumped in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, though some resistance from the homeless heroin addict population to these new settlers is to be expected.
And if Bill de Blasios New York cant handle all the new homeless terrorists, theres always Syria.
The PLO and Hamas have spent the past few decades shrieking that they love death and want nothing more than to fight to the death. And then every time Israel takes a whack, they run screaming to hide behind CNNs skirt. In Syria, they will finally have the opportunity to fight and die like men.
Between ISIS, Iran, Assad, the Russians, US bombing raids and all the different Islamic militias, there will be enough conflicts to chew up and spit out Abbas presidential guard, Hamas suicide bombers and all the terrorist bureaucrats who havent shown up to work since 2007.
Deport them to Syria and let Allah sort out who gets the virgins.
The one thing that Israel should not and cannot do is keep the circus going. Netanyahu has been hoping that at some point the PLO would so thoroughly discredit itself that no one could pretend any longer that a negotiated peace was possible.
But that day will never come.
Abbas disavowed negotiations at the UN and in return, the UN flew his terrorist flag. He refuses to run for office, but the rest of the world pretends that he represents some democratic consensus. His own people accuse him of stealing enough money to keep Arafats widow in expensive Parisian handbags for the rest of her life and the international auditors just shrug.
Muslim terrorists can never discredit themselves in the eyes of their Western admirers and supporters. Nothing Abbas does, including his repeated attempts at a unity government with Hamas, will ever convince UN terrorist sympathizers that the failure to achieve peace is the fault of the terrorists.
All Israel can do is wash its hands of the entire business, deport the terrorists and turn them into Syrias problem. Israel will never convince the UN that its right, but it can take the initiative and end the wrong.
The PLO regime has no further legal basis for maintaining its presence inside 67 Israel. It must go.

oddly enough, the Arabs’ own coreligionists and ethnic brothers want them NOT.
I wonder why?
Deport not only the PLO...but every “palistinian” from Israel. You don’t live with cockroaches.You either expurgate them, or exterminate them. You don’t live with them, because just like the palistinians, like cockroaches, breed more of them that will eventually destroy you and your home.
You see Putin bombing the hell out of Syria...and nobody
is saying anything...
Why can’t Bibi go in and do the same thing to the Palestinians?
Tell me the difference? One (Bibi) is protecting his people and his land; the other is preparing to claim another’s land....explain....
I agree. Deport the multigenerational terrorists.
The ball has long been in Israel’s court. And much of the problem could be solved with just two things.
1) Nationalize all non-Jewish “holy sites”, as the property of Israel, leased on minimal terms (like $1/yr) to those faiths that want to use them, *on condition* of good behavior. This would accomplish two important things: the elimination of *any* claims by foreign governments or religions to property in Israel, other than official embassies; and also to stop the encouragement or support of hostile and violent actions.
In Saudi Arabia, the Wahhabi sect of Islam is the “official” sect, and runs the mosques and holy sites. But when they push to overthrow the ruling Saud family, the Saud remind them that the Wahhabis only control these things because the Saud let them; and they could easily shift ownership to the (far more peaceful) Sufi sect, which scares the heck out of the Wahhabis. Israel should use a similar threat.
2) Deport the entire families of those Paleos who engage in anti-Israel and criminal behavior. If they live in peace, fine. But if one of their children throws rocks, the who family is kicked out.
Because the borders are somewhat porous, this deportation should be to Israel’s ally South Sudan, which is “Christian and Animist”, and intensely dislikes Muslims. Pretty much with the idea of their kicking the Paleos into Muslim North Sudan, which is a brutal Islamic dictatorship. The Israelis should pay the South Sudanese a stipend to “support” the deported Paleos, who are long gone. Israel already gives them aid, so this would just be added to it.
While I agree with most of what is written here, the testimony of prophetic scriptures says it ain’t gonna go that way.
Dark days ahead are what are prophesied. The Time of Jacob’s Trouble. While most here love the Jewish people and would even fight for Israel, God has a case against them for stubbornly rejecting their King. That stubborn rejection will finally melt away but it will be at the loss of about 2/3rds of the nation’s population. Remember, Jesus said, “You will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Love them, pray for them, continue to give and support their cause and to reach out to them with the Gospel (more Jewish people have come to faith in Christ in the last 15-20 yrs. than at any other time in history) - but we will not thwart God’s plans. He loves them more than you and I (or Daniel Greenfield).
We are still responsible for doing good to them where we can and opposing those that oppose them but Israel has to lose her self-sufficiency and return to her trust in her God and acknowledge her error - the same as the rest of us. Remember, God’s Word says that if the rejection of Israel by God for this time was a blessing to the world (Church age, gentiles have access to Israel’s God) what will be the result of the natural branches being grafted back in? Greater blessings than the world has ever known. But before that, the worst time in all of human history - and it looks to be upon us.
It is a travesty. Confidential to Judicial Watch: surely there is a disbursing officer somewhere in State who cuts the checks. Is there no accountability requirement? Are Federal laws being broken? Inquiring minds want to know.
Funding our enemies has always been a bad idea.
