and the “Prisoners’ Document” – A Man of Peace?

Five leading terrorists compiled
the “Prisoners’ Document”, which has been embraced by Abu Mazen: Fatah’s
Marwan Barghouti, serving 5 terms of life imprisonment, Hamas’ Abd Al-Khaliq
Al-Natsheh, Islamic Jihad’s Bassam al-Saadi, Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine’s Abd Al-Rahim Mallouh and Democratic Front for the Liberation of
Palestine’s Mustafa Badarneh.
-
The goal of the “Document” is to
restore coordination between the PLO and Hamas, while adhering to the
fundamentals of the Palestinian attitude toward the “Zionist Entity”. The goal
is not to advance peace with Israel, but to clarify that “Palestinian Unity”
supersedes any agreement signed with Israel.
-
The “claim of return”, by
Palestinian refugees to the pre-1967 area of Israel, is emphasized 5 times in
the “Document”. The “Claim of Return” is a euphemism for the inadmissibility
of the Jewish state.
-
The stage-by-stage policy, which
was adopted by the PLO in 1974, has been reaffirmed. The “document” calls for
the establishment of an independent Palestinian State, in the “1967 area”,
without withdrawing claims to the “Pre-1967 area” – a provisional
stage/accord.
-
Terrorism is encouraged by calling
for the “widening the circles of resistance” and for the “release of all
prisoners” held by Israel “by all means”. These prisoners are held for
terrorism and not for theft and burglary. Precedents determine that the terms
“by all means” and “resistance” are code words for terrorism, including the
abduction of Israelis as bargaining chips.
-
Homicide bombing is heralded by
urging support of “those who bore the burden of resistance, in particular the
martyrs’ families”. “Martyrs” is a common reference, by Palestinians, to
homicide bombers.
-
PLO-Hamas cooperation is highlighted
by calling for the implementation of the March 2005 Cairo Accord, which was
the latest in a series of PLO-Hamas understandings, engineered by Abu Mazen
since the signing of the Oslo Accord. The understandings state that
“Palestinian Unity” and Palestinian national claims - especially the “claim of
return” - supersede any accord with Israel.
-
Abu Mazen is the architect of
Palestinian hate-education in schools, mosques and official media - the most
authentic reflection of his vision, and a manufacturing line of
homicide-bombing. Notwithstanding Abu Mazen’s seemingly moderate appearance,
his embrace of the “Prisoners’ Document” has reaffirmed the fundamentals of
his own hate-education: idolizing homicide bombers, the “claim of return”,
terrorism and the inadmissibility of the Jewish State.
