PA/PLO - Israel? OK. Jewish Israel? No way

Just weeks before the Bush administration is set to convene its conference on the creation of Palestine, one of the PLO/PA's most senior spokesman declared that the "Palestinians" will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

Saeb Erekat was speaking on Palestine Radio Monday when he gave the rationale for the "Palestinian" position.

"There is no country in the world where religious and national identities are intertwined," he said.

The words thus spelled out by PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas' right hand man shone light on a central component of the deceptive, and usually hidden, PLO strategy whose end goal has always been the eradication of a sovereign Jewish state from the Muslim Middle East.

Since US President George H. W. Bush and Secretary of State James Baker began the land-for-peace process in 1991, a demand made on the PLO and other elements in the anti-Israel terrorist front has consistently been that they recognize the State of Israel.

After ducking and diving their way around this demand, the Arab side finally found the key:

They would recognize Israel as "a state" but not as a "Jewish state."

To this end they - including the Palestinian Arabs who enjoy Israeli citizenship - support the institution of a "one-man-one-vote" democracy that will erode and finally erase Israel's identity as "a Jewish state."

The PLO's insistence that the "right of return" be given to all its refugees is designed to help hasten the explosion of the demographic time bomb.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rejected this position outright.

"We won't hold negotiations on our existence as a Jewish state, this is a launching point for all negotiations," he said.

"We won't have an argument with anyone in the world over the fact that Israel is a state of the Jewish people.
“Whoever does not accept this cannot hold any negotiations with me. This has been made clear to the Palestinians and the Americans."
