A senior Palestinian Authority official didnt mince words in an interview with an Arabic sports channel recently, telling his interviewer that Palestine from the river to the sea is all occupied, Palestinian Media Watch reports.
Jibril Rajoub, Member of Fatah Central Committee, Chairman of the Palestinian Football Association and head of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, was responding to a question about the Barcelona soccer teams upcoming visit to Israel when he said: They are coming to the occupied lands. All of Palestine from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea its all occupied.

(30,109 posts)Last week, Meretz head Zahava Gal-on approached the Defense Ministry, requesting that Rajoub be granted entrance to Israel in order to attend the event. Later, Ruth Bar, Yaalons personal assistant, responded to Gal-on via email that her request had been denied....
...Rajoub, former director of the Preventive Security Force in the West Bank, told a conference in October 2012 that Jews are Satans, and Zionists the sons of dogs.
Later in April, Rajoub declared during an interview on PA TV that we as yet dont have a nuke, but I swear that if we had a nuke, wed have used it this very morning.
In an interview with the Lebanese TV channel al-Mayadeen on May 1, he said that, for Fatah, resistance to Israel remains on our agenda.
I mean resistance in all of its forms, he elaborated. At this stage, we believe that popular resistance with all that it entails is effective and costly to the other side (Israel), Rajoub said in the hour-long interview, which was highlighted by the watchdog group Palestinian Media Watch.
Rajoub, who spent 17 years in Israeli jails after throwing a hand-grenade at an army bus, later served as Arafats national security adviser. He is a signatory to the Geneva Initiative, which brings together Israelis and Palestinians committed to a two-state solution, and was one of the prominent figures who starred in an advertising campaign by the initiatives sponsors, advocating a negotiated settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Eretz Israel, from the sea to the Jordan, belongs to us! declare right-wing Israelis on every occasion.
The two statements seem to be the same, with only the name of the country changed.

Opposition leader favored by polls to sweep elections if held today rejects proposal to divide Jerusalem, says would toss out agreement between current PM, Palestinians
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3533242,00.html
Shaul Arieli of the Council for Peace and Security, which developed a map with a final border as part of the Geneva Initiative, said Israel's capacity to swap territory with a future Palestinian state is more limited than what Olmert reportedly proposed

Under the proposal, Israel would return to the Palestinians 93 percent of the West Bank, plus all of the Gaza Strip, when the Palestinian Authority regains control over the Gaza Strip, which the militant group Hamas seized from forces loyal to Abbas in June 2006.
Olmert presented Abbas with the proposal as part of an agreement in principle on borders, refugees and security arrangements between Israel and a future Palestinian state

(30,109 posts)And no counter-offers, yet still you whine about occupation.
It seems that only Pro-Israelis and Palestinian renegades actually want Palestinian self-determination. Their leaders and Western propagandists surely seem to hate the idea.
SHARE this post if you are sick of the lies, manipulation and hypocrisy of Western so-called "Pro-Palestinian" activists.
