"Palestinian's" Big Strategy to Take Israel

Nadene Goldfoot
If one reads the PLO Charter written up July 1-17, 1968, you will see on article 15 the goal of  the liquidation of the Zionist presence which means the state of Israel.  This calls for the destruction of Israel, not just the end of Zionism.  The PA (Palestinian Authority) is the PLO.  Arafat was a member of Fatah and Abbas is also, and is the incumbent due to Arafat's death.  It's just that the PA's name came about in 1994 as an outgrowth of the Oslo Accords and was to be in charge of the West Bank, and not Gaza.

A West Bank Palestine is only a first step toward their goal of creating a Palestine in place of Israel.  PLO officials have made this clear.  It is known as the "strategy of stages."  

On June 8,  1974, the Palestine National Council met in Cairo  and declared that creating a Palestinian "national authority" on any territory relinquished by Israel would only be "a step on the path" to the total "liberation of Palestinian soil."  This is still held to.The PLO was founded  in 1964 when the West Bank, called this by Jordan who illegally held Judea and Samaria and was under Jordan's Arab rule.  The Palestine the PLO wanted to liberate was Israel within the pre-1967 borders.  The official PLO insignia is a map that includes all of Israel.  So let's get real as to what  their planned outcome happens to be:  the takeover of all of Israel.

In 1988 Kissinger made it clear that the PLO would not be dealt with until they recognize Israel and renounce terrorism.  Arafat then accepted UN's resolution 242 and promised to recognize Israel and that they renounced terrorism.  Arafat backtracked quickly and denied that he recognized Israel in 1988.  He was on Libyan TV on July 19, 1991 and "No, no, no!  We do not recognize Israel.  We said there would be recognition when a Palestinian state is established and it will decide whether to recognize Israel or not."   Then on September 9, 1993 he recognized Israel in peace and security.  It never happened that Israel had peace or security, so the recognition was just words spoken.  It didn't mention recognition of Israel as a "Jewish" state, either, just a state.

Abu Iyad was the #2 man in the PLO and has since died in 1991 but had said that there should be no illusions.  According to their phased plan, they will establish a Palestinian state on any part of Palestine the enemy will retreat from.  It will be a stage in their prolonged struggle for the liberation of Palestine.  He spoke of creating a democratic state on all of its territory, but we know this is not true.  There is to be no Jews living in their Palestine.  That's not democratic.  Israel is already a democratic state that they plan to replace.

So, if a Palestine is established, Hamas-Fatah will still not recognize Israel or its right to exist.  In fact, the PLO charter has become  harsher in taking on the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood as well.  Arafat had made empty promises and received a Nobel Prize  in 1994 for the masquerade of a peaceful person.

The proof of the pudding is that there has been no peace, and no end to terrorism. It was thought for a long time that Fatah wanted peace while Hamas was against it, but both have teamed up today.    Yet Clinton keeps pounding Israel to make peace with the "Palestinians" and work out a 2 state solution.  I haven't noticed her pounding Abbas, the PA leader, or approaching Hamas at all.  Frankly, I think a new charter would lead to a better outlook and needs to come first.  In fact, Arutz Shava had an article about the American Jews calling for Fatah to rewrite their charter on November 20, 2007: The proposed statement details those clauses of the Fatah charter, drafted in 1964 and never repealed, that call for the "demolition" of the State of Israel, as well as "the eradication of the Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.” Methinks that Kissinger in 1988 had something going after all in his approach.  Instead, Hamas kicked Abbas out of Gaza and Peace was ignored, of course and replaced with all the shelling to come out of Gaza from 2001 till today.

Why USA Sold Arms to Saudi Arabia Against Israel's Security

Nadene Goldfoot 
In 1980 my husband and I had made aliyah and had moved to Israel. We were teachers from the states and after retraining in Israel, were teaching English after our first year. By March of 1982 I had become quite concerned with the possibility of the USA selling arms to Jordan. Even though we were able to watch Jordan’s TV programs from Israel, they were still not friendly as yet. It was really more like watching a program in Portland, Oregon coming from Gresham; the states were so close.

 My husband, teaching in the high school and me in the junion high in Safed, had students write letters to President Reagan in their own words telling them of their concerns. I didn’t understand how the USA could consider doing such a thing. Selling arms to the the other Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia was so scary to us. I told my mother in a letter to write to the president as well. Like I told my students, it couldn’t hurt. I saw that Jewish communities did write a lot about this to the president in the end of February.

 Little did I know what our USA government had been up to. By 1980 I hadn’t realized how much anti-semitism still existed in our country and in our government as well, passed on from generation to generation of government officials. Worst of all, strong anti-semitism existed in a self-hating Jew whose only interest in life was in climbing the ladder of importance; our own Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger.

 There is a company named Bechtel. It is the largest construction and engineering company in the USA. It also is family owned, ranking 5th largest in the USA since 1945. They had $30.8 billion in revenue and employed 49,000 workers on projects in 50 countries as of 2010. Weinberger had been working for them as a general counsel. It was one of the most notorious anti-Semite companies in the USA. They also had their executives in the White House friend’s circle during the 1980's. In fact, they were the most popular company there. Bechtel’s former president was George Shultz.

Weinberger’s anti-Israel attitude was showing up in almost every Middle-East issue. He feared that if the USA went after Palestinian terrorists, it would be offensive to them and alienate Arab governments–particulary if the government acted in cooperation with the Israelis. By mid 1982 Weinberger was in the Reagan administration and joined by George Shultz who then replaced Alexander Haig as Secretary of State who had been pro-Israel!

The 1980's were a hard time for Bechtel. First, they built a mine in New Guinea. The major shareholder of a mining company allowed mine waste to be dumped into a river after a dam built by Bechtel was destroyed in a landslide. They were involved with major pollution. In 1981 Bechtel bought into Wall Street investment bank Dillon, Read & Co and George Schultz joined their board as their representative. In 1982 they had 44,000 employees but later had to lay off so many that their count went to 16,000 in 1995.

 When Weinberger joined Bechtel, the company’s profits were threatened by an attack on their stand of sticking with the Arabs in boycotting Israel. This had come about by the Arabs after the Jews won the 1948 war. Arabs had banned all trade between Arabs and Israel, or any company that did business with Israel. Bechtel carried out the boycott completely, even when offered wonderful contracts to do business in Israel. The company refused to deal with Jews. Even in the middle 1970's, a Justice Department investigation found that their contracts with Arab countries were still showing they boycotted Israel. Sadly, the USA just turned a blind eye to this fact the previous quarter of a century and had even participated in it once in a while. Attorney General Edward Levi brought suit against Bechtel but was strongly opposed by Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, another Jew, who happened to be a big admirer of Bechtel’s president, George Shultz

It seems that our own people can hurt us more than plain old anti-semites! What chance does Israel have when business and old anti-semitic attitudes still exist? This is really how Israel’s hateful neighbors get their arms; through subversion of our “friends.”
