Article 20. The Balfour Declaration and the Mandate Instrument, and all their consequences, are hereby declared null and void. The claim of historical or spiritual links between the Jews and Palestine is neither in conformity with historical fact nor does it satisfy the requirements for statehood. Judaism is a revealed religion; it is not a separate nationality, nor are the Jews a single people with a separate identity; they are citizens of their respective countries.
Article 21. The Palestinian Arab people, expressing themselves through the Palestinian armed revolution, reject all alternatives to the total liberation of Palestine. They also reject all proposals for the liquidation or internationalization of the Palestine problem.
Article 22. Zionism is a political movement that is organically linked with world imperialism and is opposed to all liberation movements or movements for progress in the world. The Zionist movement is essentially fanatical and racialist; it objectives involves aggression, expansion and the establishment of colonial settlements, and its methods are those of the Fascists and the Nazis. Israel acts as cat’s paw for the Zionist movement, a geographic and manpower base for world imperialism and a springboard for its thrust into the Arab homeland to frustrate the aspirations of the Arab nation to liberation, unity and progress. Israel is a constant threat to peace in the Middle East and the whole world. Inasmuch as the liberation of Palestine will eliminate the Zionist and imperialist presence in that country and bring peace to the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for support to all liberals and to all forces of good, peace and progress in the world, and call on them, whatever their political convictions, for all possible aid and support in their just and legitimate struggle to liberate their homeland."

These people are very open and honest about their policy, which is the destruction of Israel. The belief that a Pali state in the West Bank and Gaza will change this is wishful thinking.
Thanks SAM. I still need to read a little about why the ship was there. It's on my list of things to read about.
It's sad and true but we won't give up the fight to get her back on track and hopefully this generation's children won't either. How ever long it takes.
Wasn't that wonderful. What a surprise when I saw that Phil had posted the most perfect poetry for SAM's thread yesterday!
I do, I do!
You'd think someone would get a clue.
PC jerks!
That's what I want to hear CholeraJoe, tell us more stories!
I agree. I've always suspected that an agenda behind the "roadmap" is so that Bush can tell Blair and the State Department that he made his very best effort but the PLO and its allies have proven they aren't ready to make peace.
Well said SAM, that would make a good poster or slogan.
Brave men.
He is really good.
