European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 20, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 10 the stars and stripes . Rosenthal Plo stand won f solve Mideast s real problem i hereby declare that i ant the rightful owner of the House in which you live. I Hove created a new corporation to take it Over. Take notice that i intend to establish the Headquarters in your living room. You arc a usurper a squatter totally vile. I have sworn a Hoty oath to drive you and your children from the House. I summon you to a court at which my right Sand the new corporation will be recognized by you and All. However if you attend i will consider agreeing that you Are entitled to live somewhere on the grounds maybe in the Yard. Meantime to pc nude you to hurry up i will throw More and More Rock at you through your window. Be grateful. That is a political translation of the Deal the Palestine liberation organization is now offering he israelis. Meeting in Algiers the Plo announced the creation of a new palestinian slate on territory Israel happens to consider hers by right of International Law statehood religion or the Conquest and ouster of invading Arab armies. The Plo did not specify the boundaries of the new stale but did announce that its capital would be in Jeru Salem. In implied that at an International conference i might accept an ambiguous , Resolution recognizing Brad s right to consider itself among the living. But at inc same time the Plo made it Clear that instill embraced the . Resolutions condemning Israel including the International piece of anti semitism that equates zionism the philosophic Root of the israeli slate with racism. It did not even consider renouncing or even changing inc Plo charter that Calls for War to the death against Israel. All this mane vering is Noi directed at influencing Israel of course. The Plo understands that the announcement of the palestinian slate and its immediate recognition by the Muslim nations will not bring a peace conference nearer but rather kill the whole idea. There Are israelis who would be willing to sit Dow with members of a faintly disguised Flo delegation and discuss Transfer of territory in return for acceptance of Israel. Shimon Peres was among them and it Cost him the recent ejection. But even the Peres concept of a conference was sup posed to be the first step in a careful process of change to Lake years. The end result was to be some form of autonomy for the palestinians or perhaps Union be tween the palestinians , which is largely palestinian in territory and population. So the Plo knows thai it is ending the idea of a George will Ion bomb peace conference except among those israelis whore suicide minded. It Alio must know that it is squelching those american jews who had been urging Israel to negotiate with the Plo. Their support was useful to the Plo but obviously dispensable. That is unless they now intend to instruct prime minister Shamir to Rush off to a peace confere Celo recognize the status of president Arafat and his new Plo is aiming Over the Heads of Israel at George Bush and Oie new government he will create see to arc now willing to consider someday maybe perhaps recognizing israeli existence so now you can Deal with us. Neither Bush nor James Baker who Wilt be his Secretary of state Are yet overflowing with eagerness. It will be interesting to Sec the reaction of gov. John of new Hampshire Bush s Choice As chief of staff. He is the Only governor who declined to denounce the . S i oms is racism Resolution. The Algiers meeting was not it was a cynical continuation of the Arab rejection of Israel that has brought 40 years of struggle to the Middle East Only once did an Arab Leader turn away eleven Yean ago on nov. 19, 1977, Anwar Sadat landed in Jerusalem. He achieved the Only Victory any Arab Leader Ever won in dealing with Israel. Mineral Rich Sinai was resumed to him because he knew what to offer Israel. One Day the palestinian movement to Wolf May Gnu what president Sadat understood. The Hope lies not in the cynics of Algiers but the Young people of the insurrection who arc being manipulated to continue the War they cannot win but can end in Honor if they offer what brought Sadat his Victory. That was True acceptance of Israel As a Strong per manent and honorable part of the Middle East the end to hatred and terror the. Beginning of knew nothing else could achieve either the goals of Israel or the palestinians. Though he died for it i remains the truth and the path. In Yortis Iti i to charade making fools of the Palestine liberation organization s wit like the rarest wine in the cellar is saved for special occasions such As he Algiers conference. There Abu Tabbas Jan nor of the Achille Lauro hijacking said this about Leon Klinghoffer the american shot in his wheelchair and dumped overboard maybe he was trying to swim for Abbas the convicted murderer and member of Cheplo executive committee said thai with a half smile thereby embarrassing the Plo which is conducting peace charade. It is having some Success. Thus last week Abc s evening news said we begin tonight with a landmark decision in the Middle East. The pal Estine National Council which is in essence the pales Tinian parliament in exile has formally declared that Israel has a legitimate right to thai report was wrong. A -. More circumspect reports said the Plo hints Ai new York times or implies Washington Post recognition of Israel but even they erred. The Algier decision far from being a departure from the Plo s rejection isl stance regarding Israel is designed Toad Vance an explicit strategy of destruction. ,. The Plo has Long been divided about How to pursue liquidation of Israel. One faction has simply favored. Terrorism leading 10 War. Bui so called moderates argued for violence supplemented by diplomacy. They say Force will work Only after Israel has been shrunk to indefensible Borders. This two stage two state solution was affirmed in Algiers. It is peace As a lactic of War what flummoxed Wishful thinking Western. Cars was the Plo s Dusty Semi approval of . Resolution 242,. Which endorses secure and recognized boundaries for every stale in the area the Plo began with its Standard misrepresentation of 242. It involves the missing definite article the Resolution Calls for withdrawal of Israel from territory occupied in 1967. The absence of the be fore the word territory expresses . And that 242 does not prejudge the final disposition of the West Bank does not require restoration of the 1967 Borders. The Algiers declaration says 242 requires. Withdrawal of Israel from All palestinian Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Arab important the Plo approves 242 Only in the context of other . Resolutions relevant to pales Tinian issues. Those resolutions have the cumulative effect of mandating Israel s destruction. They include the 197$. Resolution that characterized zionism As racism and aimed at the of Israel. They include a demand for internationalization of Israel s capital Jerusalem which never has been the capital or an Arab or moslem state. The include a demand for return to Syria of the Golan Heights from which aggression came in 1973,they include partition plan 181 of 1947. Under which Israel was to be three Semi triangles touching at. The lips without the Negev without much of Gal Ilee even without the Southern outskirts of Tel Aviv. The . Resolutions that condition Plo approval of. 242 include the one affirming the right of return for palestinians that would strip Israel of an essential attribute of sovereignty control of immigration _ the West s appeasement reflex confused people to identify dangerous men like Arafat As moderates who deserve encouragement lest Hawks in the Kremlin closet in other palestinian factions supplant the supposedly embattled so Arafat no says accept this plan or i can always come Back to our Council and declare that moderation does when Arafat soon seeks a visa to unite nations that author of so much mischief where be once was applauded when he took a pistol to the podium the . Government should say no. Thai Deci Sion will say that this government sees the extremism beneath the weasel words and evasions.
