]RE: Boycott Israel
ā»ā P F Tinmore,
et al,
Technically, that is correct.
Good points. He did not mention that the PA is a foreign appointed illegal government.
(COMMENT)
The Seventh Arab Summit Conference, Rabat (1974), the combined leadership of the Arab World (Kings, Presidents and Amirs)
(Alternate Record), made the determination ā in the absence of any real independent and sovereign government for the Arab Palestinian People, holding the legitimacy in the Arab World, that:
2. To affirm the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent national authority under the command of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in any Palestinian territory that is liberated. This authority, once it is established, shall enjoy the support of the Arab states in all fields and at all levels;
This was simply recorded as an invitation to the PLO in
UN Resolution A/RES/3210 (XXIX):
Invites the Palestine Liberation Organization, the representative of the Palestinian people, to participate in the deliberations of the General Assembly on the question of Palestine in plenary meetings.
Now, there is an old adage that "you cannot please all the people all the time;" which is so applicable with the Arab Palestinian People. Today, we still have people Arab Palestinians for the most part, that want to roll back the calendar by forty years (+) and and choose a different path.
It probably would have been much better for everyone else if the PLO had not been recognized as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. THEN, it probably would have been the case that the Palestinians would not have been able to declare, from a legitimate Arab World Platform:
Today's Arab Palestinians can argue all it wants about the protocol and procedures chosen by the Arab World. But what is done is done.
But hey, if today's Arab Palestinians want to dissolve the declaration and relinquish what assemblance of sovereignty people might mistake it has, then so be it. Then there would be no need for a two state solution.
Terra nullius is a Latin expression deriving from Roman law meaning "nobody's land", which is used in international law to describe territory which has never been subject to the sovereignty of any state, or over which any prior sovereign has expressly or implicitly relinquished sovereignty.
Let's see who that works out for them...
Most Respectfully,
