"Palestine is our Land & Jews our Dogs"

"....And consider this: The PLO was created at an
Arab summit meeting in 1964.[9] The date is quite
significant. In 1964, Israel did not control the
disputed Judea-Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza
territories. Not a single Jewish settlement
existed in those areas. So, we can ask the
question: in its original, 1964 founding Charter,
what was the position of the PLO towards those
territories?

«Article 24: This Organization does not exercise
any territorial sovereignty over the West Bank in
the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip
or in the Himmah Area.«[9a]

In other words, when Egypt and Jordan owned,
respectively, Gaza and the West Bank, the PLO
stated that these countries were the rightful
owners of those two territories. This means either
(1) that the PLO did not consider these lands to
be Palestinian lands, or (2) that it did not mind
foreigners ruling Palestinian lands.

It is only after 1967 that the PLO ‘discovered´
that these territories were supposedly
Palestinian. The Charter was amended in 1968, as
Arafat´s forces were taking control of the PLO
(Arafat was elected PLO chairman in 1969).[9b]

What happened? In 1967, Israel´s Arab neighbors
provoked a war that had the goal of genocide
against the Jews,[9c] but they lost, which
resulted in Israeli control of the Gaza strip and
the West Bank. In a spectacular move,
unprecedented in history, Israeli Prime Minister
Levi Eshkol, though victorious against a genocidal
provocation, offered to return those territories
in exchange for a mere promise of peace. The
Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, however,
refused to talk.[9d] Israel was left with no
choice but to keep those territories. And it was
then that the PLO decided these had now become
Palestinian lands, which needed to be liberated.
Thus began the so-called "occupation...."
