Ibrahim Dakak, Secretary of the Engineers Union:
«lt is better not to hurry in implementing this idea. | am not
against it in principle, but | would prefer to wait lest the enemies
make use of this conference. | believe that the Amman accord
is facing a deadlock, so why not wait until it is in this deadlock?»
Mahmoud Khatib, Chief editor of «Al Mithaq»
newspaper, Jerusalem:
«lt is impossible for any nationalist who is concerned
about the inalienable rights of our people, to object this idea. It
is a qualitative new step towards effectively confronting the line
of deviation, squander and capitulation...GSuch a conference
will bring together all the Palestinian nationalist capabilities. It
will declare publicly that the line of deviation absolutely does
not represent the will of the Palestinian people...We have to
uphold this idea and implement it. It is important to provide cer-
tain prerequisites to make this idea a success.»
Mahmoud Abu Lybda, journalist for «Al Mithaq»
newspaper, Jerusalem:
«The idea of convening a Palestinian people's confer-
ence, composed of all nationalist organizations, forces and
personalities opposed to the line of deviation and squander, is
a correct and pioneering idea.»
Bashir Barghouthi, Chief editor of «Al Talia» news-
paper, Jerusalem, and Secretary General of the
Palestinian Communist Party:
«| welcome any effort provided that it is agreed upon by
the broadest Palestinian nationalist circles; any effort which
aims to abrogate the Amman accord and reunify the PLO ona
nationalist, anti-imperialist basis. | think that the common
denominator must be abrogation of the Amman accord. To put
any other conditions would isolate many forces...There are
Palestinian forces in Kuwait, Jordan, Syria and other countries,
who are ready to reunify the PLO and who are concerned to
free the PLO from its crisis. | think it is necessary to neutralize
these forces by allowing them to participate in the people’s
conference.»

Yahya Yakhlef, Secretary General of the General
Union of Palestinian Writers and Journalists __
«It is becoming most necessary to conduct a broad
dialogue among all nationalist forces, organizations and per-
sonalities... It is important to hear the Palestinian masses’
opinion. This necessitates the formation of preparatory com-
- mittees to contact the Palestinian masses in the occupied ter-
ritories and in the diaspora...This is the correct beginning for
the people's conference. All forces must be invited. The main
task is to preserve the achievements of the Palestinian people
and to find the best way to abrogate the Amman accord.»
Jamil Hilal, member of the General Secretariat of
the General Union of Palestinian Writers and Jour-
nalists
«It is necessary for all Palestinian democratic and
nationalist forces, institutions and personalities to agree on a
common nationalist program. This program will guarantee the
mobilization of the broadest possible sectors and forces to
abrogate the Amman accord and reunify the PLO. This unity
should be based on a clear position against imperialism,
Zionism and reaction; it should be based on a position against
all projects aiming to liquidate the national rights of the Palesti-
nian people. In order to abrogate the Amman accord, it is
necessary to mobilize the broadest sectors of the Palestinian
people, particularly the influential forces in the places where
there are large Palestinian communities. Their participation
should be guaranteed. Consultations and dialogue shall lead
to the best organizational framework.»
Fuad Abdullah Yousef, member of the General
Secretariat of the General Union of Palestinian
Workers
«There is no doubt that the idea of convening a Palesti-
nian people’s conference is very important due to the current
critical situation of the Palestinian revolution, particularly after
the signing of the Amman accord between Hussein and
Arafat...It is important to choose the right slogan for this confer-
ence. This will enable the broadest sector of nationalist forces,
institutions and personalities to participate in the conference. |
think that the correct slogan is abrogation of the Amman
accord and unifying the PLO on a nationalist line against
imperialism, Zionism and reaction...»
Omar Saadeh, member of the Palestinian Red
Crescent Society Committee in Syria, and editor-
in-chief of «Balsam» published by the PRCS
«| support the idea of convening a people's conference
that includes all Palestinian nationalists. The common
denominator for the conference should be rejection of the
Amman accord and reunification of the PLO on a militant
nationalist basis. This will enable the PLO to resume its role as
the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.» @ - هو جزء من
