Zie het volgende verzoenende artikel dat onlangs werd gepubliceerd door het officiële persbureau WAFA van de gematigde Palestijnse Autoriteit van president Abbas. Het biedt zeker een goede basis voor samenwerking en onderhandelingen met Israel, op basis van wederzijds respect voor de eigen identiteit en nationale rechten van beide volken.
"A Jewish state endangers not only Palestinians, but also the Arab World, and the global security. It is a call for legitimizing a racist entity, built on pure ethnic and theocratic criteria. They apparently think that they are a race, and they want a racist state! All of this doesn't end with the Palestinian issue; it becomes a general [international] matter, which raises the question:
"Will the present international system, with its modernity and development, and after banishing the racist entities, allow the development of a theocratic regime, successor of racist regimes that have disappeared, where anyone who does not recognize it cannot live there?"
In de Palestijnse voorlopige grondwet staat een duidelijke verwijzing naar de islam als nationale religie, en naar het Arabische karakter van de staat. Dit geldt voor een aantal Arabische staten. Is de PA ervoor dat uit de eigen grondwet te schrappen en alle Arabische staten op te roepen hetzelfde te doen? Zo nee, vanwaar deze dubbele maatstaven? Joods-nationale rechten als racistisch bestempelen en als gevaar voor de hele wereld is ziekmakend en in zichzelf racistisch.
"The Jewish State, or People, or Land is a synonym of the black nightmare of Racism. It is a war waged on us; a new war aimed at eradicating Palestinians, with slogans first, then by practice. Such a practice is the most dangerous in this land's history; Exile, or 'Transfer' and eliminating everything related to the Arabism of this homeland, which has witnessed years of organized transfer of its people. Are we now witnessing our complete, final expulsion?
"We still do not understand, and we have not learned the lesson. We merely repeat our reactions, and every time they escalate their actions, we respond as they [Israelis] want us to respond. Protest alone will not change or influence things, because it is devoid of roots and flows not from a united people, but rather from streams, groups and divided parties... fighting for government that is not worthy of being called government. We are still under occupation; we are still ruled, in every aspect of life: livelihoods, sovereignty, and decision....
"If we do not wake up, perhaps we will be outside of our homeland and without residence.
"The Jewish State is clear in its objectives, even implementation and application. It means eliminating 20 per cent of the Jewish entity's citizens; Arabs and Palestinians. It probably means forcing them out; transferring them.
"Those who are calling for the Jewishness of 'the State' are performing a political act... whose fundamental aim is the complete closure of the right of return. And it is not only the right of return that is being rejected here: Also prohibited is the remaining of the Palestinians who are upon their lands and forbidden houses in the Galilee and in the Triangle and in the Negev and in Jerusalem, as a 'first stage,' and in every place where there are Palestinians.
"In terms of all this, should we expect that they are deliberately trying to violate the inalienable right of return, considered a priority on the negotiations agenda, by the United Nations and its Security Council?
"A Jewish state endangers not only Palestinians, but also the Arab World, and the global security. It is a call for legitimizing a racist entity, built on pure ethnic and theocratic criteria.
