Palestinian Arabs

'Rabin promised Palestine with Jordan River border'

The so-called prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, Salam Fayyad, said Sunday that the 1993 Oslo Accords signed between the Rabin government and the PLO promised the Arabs a state including the entire "West Bank" and eastern Jerusalem.

"Our goal is to stop the occupation of all the territories occupied in 1967 and to establish a state on that land," Fayyad said.

According to documented evidence, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin opposed the creation of a Palestinian state in the Land of Israel. Since his assassination in 1995, the PLO and Israel's other enemies have persistently maintained that Rabin agreed to a state.

Fayyad spun his latest version of this lie at a ceremony marking the end of a "Palestinian" police officers' course near Shechem in Samaria.

While they are called "policemen," Palestinian officers have often been identified as still enlisted members of the PLO's various terrorist organizations and the Hamas.

Shechem - site of the tomb of biblical patriarch Joseph - is one of a number of ancient Jewish towns occupied by the Palestinian Arabs. They call it Nablus.
