RE: Boycott Israel
※→ P F Tinmore,
et al,
I'm sorry, I had to chuckle at this. Well, it is the Annex to document A/51/889 S/1997/357 5 May 1997--- your favorite agreement; and the A/49/180 S/1994/727 20 June 1994.
So it is written: NO external intervention in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state. IF you dont want parties --- THEN change the government to change the system.
They did. They created a new government structure in 2003. They elected a new government in 2006 that was trampled to death by foreigners. They legally constituted a new government in March of 2007 that lasted until June of 2007 when a US coup tried to replace the elected government with Fatah, the losers of the elections. The coup failed in Gaza but Fatah was placed back in power in the West Bank.
Since its inception, Palestine has been the poster child of illegal external interference.
Your conspiracy theories are a hoot.
The never answered question.
How did Fatah, the losers of the elections, get to be the "PA" in the West Bank?
(COMMENT)
The Palestinian Authority (PA) was established under the a set of agreements between the Government of the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (hereinafter "the PLO"), the representative of the Palestinian people;
Article III
Transfer of Authority
1. Israel shall transfer authority as specified in this Agreement from the Israeli military government and its Civil Administration to the Palestinian Authority, hereby established, in accordance with Article V of this Agreement, except for the authority that Israel shall continue to exercise as specified in this Agreement.
CHAPTER I - THE COUNCIL
ARTICLE I -- Transfer of Authority
2. Pending the inauguration of the Council the powers and responsibilities transferred to the Council shall be exercised by the Palestinian Authority established in accordance with the Gaza-Jericho Agreement, which shall also have all the rights, liabilities and obligations to be assumed by the Council in this regard. Accordingly, the term "Council throughout this Agreement shall, pending the inauguration of the Council be construed as meaning the Palestinian Authority.
Both of these agreement were co-sponsored by the US and Russian Federation. Now Article V of the Agreement on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area (AKA: Gaza-Jericho Agreement) talks about the Palestinian Authority at length.
Most Respectfully,
