Tehran, 13 April: Head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization's political department, Faruq Qaddumi said that the only solution to the Palestinian crisis is a holy struggle (Jihad) and resistance.
"We have experienced many peace plans so far, but today we are still at zero," Qaddumi told reporters upon his arrival at Mehrabad International Airport.
He remarked that his tour is aimed at discussing the ways out of the Palestinian crisis with Iranian officials.
Qaddumi cited UN division of the Palestinian territory as being behind the problem, adding that it is up to the UN and other countries to find a solution to this crisis.
He denounced the Zionist's killing of the civilian people and demolition of their houses which he described worse than the crimes committed by the Nazi forces.
Qaddumi said that the Security Council had been asked to dispatch UN peacekeeping forces to the occupied Palestine to stop further Zionist's violence.
He called for deployment of international forces for establishment of an independent Palestinian state and driving out the racist Israeli troops from the occupied lands.
I doubt it.

Beirut, April 12, IRNA -- Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi warned here Thursday that the racist Israeli regime was seeking to spread the ongoing war in the occupied Palestinian lands to other countries which he invited to take care and practice restraint.
"Given the failure of the Zionist regime in reigning in the Palestinian people, it is feared that Israel may spread the war to other countries," he said, citing the racist regime's "provocative movements" in attacking southern Lebanon in recent days as the proof for this.
"There is need for care and self-restraint in order to prevent the Zionist regime from causing intrigue in the region," Kharrazi told reporters upon arrival in Beirut for talks on the escalation of violence in the occupied lands.
"Because of our worries about the Middle East issue and in line with consultations with our friends, I made the trip to examine the regional situation carefully," he told of the aim of his short visit which will also take him to Syria on Friday.
The Iranian foreign minister said the popular resistance in the occupied lands had still to continue and the world must pressure the United States to give up its support for the Zionist regime.
"First of all, the resistance should continue and then the necessary pressure must be exerted on America to change its policies. Since as long as America supports the occupying regime of Al-Qods, this regime has no fear to go on with its policy of murder," Kharrazi said.
He rejected alleged Iranian role in cross-border exchange of fire between the resistance Hizbullah group in southern Lebanon and Israeli troops in the occupied Shebaa Farms.
"These issues are related to the region and have no links to Iran. It is natural for the regional people to stand up against Israeli incursions and this is their legitimate right," Kharrazi said.
Asked whether Iran would follow Iraq to suspend its oil exports, the Iranian foreign minister said, "Oil is a powerful weapon which if used by all (oil producing countries) and its supply is suspended, it will definitely prove effective."
Baghdad has announced to cut its oil supplies for a month in protest to the Israeli atrocities in the occupied lands. Several Iranian officials have asked the government to follow suit.
Kharrazi, who arrived in Beirut from Azeri capital Baku, is scheduled to meet with Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Foreign Minister Mahmoud Hamoud.
He will head for Damascus Friday to meet with Syrian officials, including President Bashar al-Assad. Hamoud hailed Kharrazi's visit as the first by "a representative of the friendly and brotherly" Iranian government since the recent Arab summit in Beirut.
"We need consultation and Mr. Kharrazi's visit ... will definitely prove helpful," the Lebanese FM said as he pointed to the "bloody incursions and violations" of the Israel regime against Palestinians.
Nothing yet about the Arafat "cry-uncle" statement to Powell in the Islamic press.And you won't.
They all acknowledge that it's okay to lie to infidels.
Meanwhile, they know that the West, including Colon Powell,
will be lining up to kiss Arafat's tush.
Sickening.
I wonder if anyone ever pointed to this mensa candidate that it takes two to make a peace but only one to make a war? If the Israeli's have managed to make peace or at least have a cease-fire with every one but you maybe the problem is..You.
Just a thought.

Obviously he has never experienced a Nazi occupation. You always know when someone is desperate in an argument when they bring up the Nazis.
Damascus, April 12, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi arrived here Friday from Beirut for talks with Syrian officials on the raging cycle of violence in the Middle East in the wake of the Israeli regime's incursions into Palestinian lands and southern Lebanon.
The Iranian FM is scheduled to meet with several Syrian officials, including President Bashar al-Assad and Foreign Minster Faruq al-Shara during the short stay.
Kharrazi last visited Damascus in September in line with the Islamic Republic's anti-terror efforts and its support for the popular Palestinian Intifada (uprising) in the occupied lands.
In Lebanon, the Iranian minister held discussions with President Emile Lahoud, Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Foreign Minister Mahmoud Hamoud, during which the ongoing developments in the region were examined.
On Thursday, Kharrazi warned that the racist Israeli regime was seeking to spread the ongoing war in the occupied Palestinian lands to other countries which he invited to take care and practice restraint.
"Given the failure of the Zionist regime in reigning in the Palestinian people, it is feared that Israel may spread the war to other countries," he said, citing the racist regime's "provocative movements" in attacking southern Lebanon in recent days as the proof for this.
The Iranian FM's visit to the region which coincides with the escalation of Israeli incursions as well as US Secretary of State Colin Powell's travel to the Middle East has been given a wide coverage in the political and press circles of the world.

That was by Arafat ... this request is from an Offical
Sounds like a game they are playing ..
I also couldn't help notice that he is out trying to rally support for their cause .. could their cause be losing support from other Arab Countries??
Maybe what the former General will do is kick Yassir's ass, rather than kiss it. He should, but I won't be holding my breath.
I N C O M M I N G!!!!
Your entire post is worth repeating, so I've repeated it. This is the quintessential explanation of why the Palis want "peacekeepers" on the ground in the West Bank -- to preclude IDF ability to go after terrorist hornet nests, while Pali homicide bombings continue apace.
