"The PLO is a nationalist organization"
No, the PLO uses the language of nationalism in order to further World Revolution. As Pacepa points out:
"Right after that meeting, I was given the KGB's "personal file" on Arafat. He was an Egyptian bourgeois turned into a devoted Marxist by KGB foreign intelligence. The KGB had trained him at its Balashikha special-ops school east of Moscow and in the mid-1960s decided to groom him as the future PLO leader. First, the KGB destroyed the official records of Arafat's birth in Cairo, replacing them with fictitious documents saying that he had been born in Jerusalem and was therefore a Palestinian by birth."
In short, Arafat was a committed Communist internationalist under KGB control. He used the cover of nationalism in order to achieve international goals. He could have cared less about Palestine or the so-called Palestinians (he and his henchmen murdered his "own people" all the time). If he had been sent to South Africa, he would have framed the revolution in terms race. If the KGB had tasked him with spreading revolution in the UK, he would have framed his war of "national liberation" in terms of religion. Arafat of course was born in Cairo, so it was only natural to use him in the Middle East. But as a soldier for the KGB, that didn't stop him from assisting just about every terrorist organization the world over.

I never heard that before but it makes sense. I had a Palestinian friend with family ties to the PLO who told me a lot of these guys used to go to the Soviet Union to "study".
