Palestine Resistance Movement and the Jews
Arabs. Our suffering in the process has been enormous; our
unity and identity as a community have been shattered, our
very physical existence has been menaced. Yet we are willing
to overlook all this if the Palestine Jews are willing to free them-
selves from colonizing Zionism and to identify with the new
Palestine. This, for the first time since 1917 would enable them
to interact culturally and economically with the Palestine Arabs
and with the Arabs beyond.
‘The third advantage of the Palestinian proposal is its durability.
No other proposal will be accepted by us, and therefore no other
proposal can have more than short-term durability. But is
anything but a long-term solution worth working for?
“This brings us to the fourth touchstone, realism. At first glance
it would seem that if the Palestine Arabs and the other Arabs
were realistic they would accept whatever Israel was willing
to offer, since the June 1967 war has revealed the extent of the
military gap between Israel and ourselves. But a closer look
would indicate that, on the contrary, it is the Israelis who are
not being realistic and whose shortsightedness and drunkenness
with power will be self-damaging in the long run. For, what
ought to be considered is not not the relative power of the two
parties today but what it will be in ten or fifteen or even thirty
years from now.”’
Several of the documents quoted here (the Fateh Yearbook, the dialogue
with Abu Eyad, the PFLP report) can be found in Basic Political Docu-
ments of the Armed Palestinian Resistance Movement by Leila S. Kadi, published
in February 1970 by the Palestine Research Center, Beirut, Lebanon
(247 pp, LL 8). - تاريخ
