TODAY’S BLOG:
Jibril Rajoub, one the leading PLO members on the Fatah/PLO Central Committee in Ramallah, discussed the upcoming “peace negotiations” with Israel last week with the Lebanese television network Al Mayadeen–a Hezbollah affiliate.
Rajoub, by the way, is the same Palestinian who called the proposed minute of silence at the London Olympics for victims of Munich “racist”, but is nevertheless (because he signed the Geneva Initiative in 2003) always identified by governments in the West as a leading proponent of peace–a “moderate” that Israel should make “compromises” with.

Here are a few of the highlights (or lowlights) of that interview:
*”As the people of the Fatah movement, we keep resistance on the agenda in all its forms.”
*”We the Palestinians are a source of concern for Israel. We are in this country, and this country is ours. They are our enemy and our battle is against them.”
*”Our war is against the Israeli occupation. Our main enemy, not just as Palestinians, but Arabs and Muslims, is Israel and the Israeli occupation.”
*”Until now we have not had nuclear weapons but in the name of Allah, if we had nuclear weapons, we’d be using them.”
Does anything need to be added? There is no “peace” to be had with the Palestinians–not now, and not ever.
