The question is often asked: Since the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) was founded in 1964, what were the Arabs liberating at that time?



The answer is: That part of the Holy Land the Jews were able to hold on to when five armies - those of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and TransJordan - attacked Israel in the bitterly fought War of Independence in 1948. 6,000 Jews were killed in the War of Independence, 1% of the nation's total population. As a result of the War, Egypt took over the Gaza Strip. TransJordan illegally occupied Judea and Samaria, which it then named the "West Bank." At that time, King Hussein of Jordan significantly changed the name of TransJordan (across the Jordan) to just plain Jordan. By the way, this illegal occupation of Judea and Samaria was recognized by only two countries, Britain and Pakistan.



It is important to pay great attention to article 24 of the PLO National Charter of 1964, which reads as follows: "This organization does not exercise any territorial sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, in the Gaza strip or in the Himmah area. Its activities will be on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields."



When did the PLO discover its passionate attachment to the Biblical homeland of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, declaring it to be their fictional Palestinian homeland? These areas are repeatedly mentioned in the Bible as promised to the Jewish people by Hashem. There never was such a country called Palestine, or a nation called Palestinians.



The Arabs themselves make it clear in the 1964 Palestinian National Charter (in the Introduction to the Charter) that they are part of a larger Arab people (pan-Arabism), and that it is incumbent on all Arab people to move forward on the path of holy war (al-jihad) until complete and final victory has been attained.



In the 1964 Palestinian National Charter, we see the planting of the seeds of "global Jihad." Specifically:



* "Article 1: Palestine is an Arab homeland bound by strong Arab national ties to the Arab Countries and which together form the great Arab homeland."



* "Article 3: The Palestinian Arab people has the legitimate right to its homeland and is an inseparable part of the Arab Nation..."



* "Article 12: Arab unity and the liberation of Palestine are two complementary goals; each prepares for the attainment of the other..."



* "Article 13: The destiny of the Arab Nation and even the essence of Arab existence are firmly tied to the destiny of the Palestine question..."



* And finally, Article 14 clearly spells out the necessity of Jihad: "The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national duty. Its responsibilities fall upon the entire Arab nation, governments and peoples, the Palestinian peoples being in the forefront. For this purpose, the Arab nation must mobilize its military, spiritual and material potentialities; specifically, it must give to the Palestinian Arab people all possible support and backing and place at its disposal all opportunities and means to enable them to perform their role in liberating their homeland."



Unfortunately, the United Nations and the European Union have bought into the fantasy of a Palestinian nation and a Palestinian state, to replace the Jewish homeland. Tragically, even the United States, supposedly Israel's best friend, is working with the Arab world to make the realization of another Arab state a reality. Shouldn't the US State Department and the rest of the Unites States government take a good thorough look at the PLO National Charter of 1964 and the lies contained therein?



In the Jerusalem Post of May 5, 2004 there was an article by Michael Freund about the U.S. National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice, fundraising for the Palestinian Authority:



"According to a May 3 article in The Washington Post, the Bush administration has launched a 'diplomatic offensive' aimed at allaying Arab concerns regarding the president's recent embrace of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza withdrawal plan.



"Among other things, the paper notes, 'the administration in recent days has tried to emphasize its concern for the Palestinians.' This has included an effort to drum up financial support for the PA. 'As part of the diplomatic offensive,' the report says, 'national security adviser Condoleezza Rice last week called some Arab countries that were behind in making payments to shore up the Palestinian Authority.'



"Isn't that thoughtful of her. With American casualties mounting daily in Iraq, Osama Bin-Laden still on the run, and North Korea threatening to develop more nuclear weapons, doesn't Rice have better things to do than making sure Arafat can balance his checkbook? Indeed, Rice's telethon on behalf of the PA is particularly astonishing in light of some of the Palestinians' recent actions.



"Just this past weekend the PA transferred funds to Hamas-affiliated organizations in Gaza, claiming that economic conditions in the territories were the reason for the move. But if the PA itself is truly in such need of funds that the US national security adviser must intervene, why is it showering money on Hamas terrorists?"




The pressure on Ariel Sharon from the United States government to evacuate Jewish communities, to make possible the establishment of another Arab state within the Promised Land, has been enormous. This coming Sunday, May 30, Prime Minister Sharon is going to try and force the Israeli cabinet to approve his unilateral disengagement plan to abandon the Jewish communities in Gaza, as well as some in Samaria. In Gaza alone, this plan, without any reciprocal agreement from the Arabs, will hand over hothouses, factories, homes, schools and synagogues to the Arabs, making at least 8,000 people homeless. Sharon has said that even if the cabinet does not support him, and even though his own Likud party overwhelmingly rejected his plan in a referendum, he will go ahead with it - because he knows best.



Now the question is, will the most important democracy in the world, the United States, support such blatantly undemocratic behavior?



It is up to you, dear friends, to remind the United States government of the intentions of the Arab world, as spelled out in the Palestinian National Charter of 1964, which was where the seeds were planted for the current Muslim global Jihad; a Jihad the Judeo-Christian world will have to defeat in order to survive.
