Seventh Arab League Summit Conference
Rabat, Morocco 28 October 1974
" To affirm the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent national authority under the command of the Palestine Liberation Organization, 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;"
(COMMENT)
This is a chant of "wishful Thinking" on the part of the anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian associates. At every opportunity given to the Arab Palestinians, from (basically) 1920 to the present, rejected to participate in any move to attain self-determination. Now they have an internal squabble between the two principles (
Gaza 'vs' Rahmalla Governments) and are caught in a dictatorship in both portions of the territory Gaza Strip (HAMAS) 'vs' West Bank (PA). Just about the only sovereignty the Arab Palestinians can claim is the Gaza Strip that the Israelis threw away, and Area "A" (
and even that is questionable). The "river to the sea" mantra refers to a territory that is, for all practical purposes, not under Arab Palestinian control and/or sovereignty - or Palestinian Government that can stand alone.
In the seven-decade of donor contributions, any progress the Arab Palestinians have made was either accidental, dumb luck, or made possible by some outside influence. The stock answer to this is: that they were kept down by the Israelis.
It is not reasonable to assume that the Arab Palestinians can assemble a viable government in the next decade that is even partially self-sufficient (
no matter how much money the donors throw at them). It would take a supernatural happening to achieve that degree of success.
(Figure the odds!)
Most Respectfully,
