First there was the Palestine Liberation Organization and all its offshoots - terrorist groups that represented the so-called Palestinian Arabs and whose goal since the PLO's founding in 1964 [Ed note – BEFORE Israel conquered the “West Bank”] has been to cleanse the historical Land of Israel of its Jews.
Through the use of unrelenting terrorism, the PLO has succeeded in getting universal international support for its bogus claim to "Palestine," and today stands on the verge of realizing the creation of their state.
Inspired by this success, Israeli-Arabs, who are the blood brothers of the Palestinian Arabs, and many of whom are willing to act seditiously against their Jewish countrymen, have now founded the GLO - the Galilee Liberation Organization.
The majority of Israel's Arab citizens live in the Galilee.
In recent days the GLO has claimed credit for the three terrorist attacks, two of which involved the murder of Jews.
According to Israel National News the new terror group said one if its members - Ahmad Katib - had murdered a 68-year-old Galilean Jew, Michael Ronkin, outside his home in Nazareth Illit two weeks ago.
When discovered, the elderly man's body was covered in stab wounds. Although Ronkin's relatives reportedly knew the killing was a terrorist attack, a court order kept news of the murder under wraps until now.
Khatib - the alleged killer - was shot dead in Jerusalem's Old City last week after grabbing an Israeli security guard's gun and shooting and wounding a number of people in the area, including the guard.
Elated at its "successes" and new notoriety, the GLO also took responsibility for the kidnapping and killing of IDF soldier Oleg Shaichat in July 2003.
None of the claims has been verified - but the terrorists in the GLO are believed to have learned well how to build a reputation for themselves.
While not all of Israel's 1.3 million Arab citizens are enemies of the state in which they enjoy benefits unparalleled in any other Arab country, a growing number have "come out" in support of the PLO's cause celebres - the destruction of Israel.
Two years ago Sunday, Sheikh Ra'ad Salah, head of the influential northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, threatened to lead Israeli Arabs in a revolt against the Jewish state.
Salah openly identified Israel's Arabs fully with the "Palestinians."
"Anyone who thinks they can get us to leave our land had better prepare a million coffins for Palestinians in this country," he said.
Israeli Arab Knesset members have frequently acted treacherously against their own country - supporting "Palestinian" terrorism and visiting with Israel's most dedicated enemies - like the Lebanese Hizb'allah and the officials in the Iranian regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
MK Ahmad Tibi - a particularly wily and malicious Arab lawmaker, is on record as saying that "the Jewish character of the State of Israel must be abolished."
Afraid of the political consequences, hardly any Jewish MKs have had the courage to condemn their Arab colleagues' homegrown sedition.
