Palestinian Leadership To Reestablish Relevance By Sticking To Failed Approach

“Forgoing attempts to kill Jews is like forgoing air. You can manage it for a little while, but in the end you can’t help it.”

Ramallah, February 3 – Officials in the ruling Fatah faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which now governs Palestinians under a 1993 self-rule arrangement, vowed measures this week aimed at putting their national cause back in the center of Arab and international discourse instead of having it treated as a nuisance that should have disappeared long ago, measures consisting in the main of the same things they have done for decades that got them into this situation in the first place.

PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas – serving also in the sixteenth year of his four-year term in the capacity of President of the Palestinian Authority – instructed his deputies and ministers today to stay the failed course, following a dramatic session of the Arab League in which the body declared its unanimous rejection of the Trump peace plan announced last week even as many of its individual members embraced it publicly, and following more than seventy years of futile violent resistance to the fait accompli of Jewish sovereignty in the ancestral Jewish homeland.

Fatah officials present at a meeting with Abbas Sunday night provided several details regarding the measures that the president/chairman had outlined. “First of all we must never let go of our right to resist by whatever means possible,” recalled Fashla Fadikha, Deputy Minister for Thuggery. “Forgoing attempts to kill Jews is like forgoing air. You can manage it for a little while, and some of us can hold out longer than others, but in the end you can’t help it. Why bother, you know what I’m saying? Its gotten us this far.”

“Another important measure involves never accepting compromise,” added Abbas aide Kalb bin-Khamar. “Compromise means acknowledging there’s greater value in peace than our maximalist position, which is simply not the case. We can’t suddenly agree our life’s work can’t be completed just because people think it’s OK to leave the Jews alone if we gain independence. Independence isn’t the point; the point is Jews can’t be sovereign here, and must go back to the places that tried to exterminate them, because that’s where they belong. Even a tiny sliver of Jewish sovereignty in some far-flung desert location is an affront to us. More of that attitude and the international community will come around.”

“There’s a saying, attributed to Einstein, that insanity is trying the same thing again and again even though it does’t work,” observed Fadikha. “Well, Einstein was a Jew, and a Zionist at that, so he must be wrong.”
