Who's charter?
The Palestinians that also includes the one by hamas and the one by fatah
The Palestinians don't have a charter. Hamas does and Fatah and the PLO do.
Charters Constitutions - FATEH Constitution
Neither Fateh nor the PLO call for a nation with no Jews. Fateh's Constitution calls for "Establishing an independent democratic state with complete sovereignty on all Palestinian lands, and Jerusalem is its capital city, and protecting the citizens' legal and equal rights without any racial or religious discrimination.". The Constitution references fighting Zionism and Imperialism. Unfortunately with Arafat's death, the PLO charter did not get amended. They still call for the destruction of Israel, as a state - but not for the creation of a nation with NO JEWS. The above in Fatah's constitution seems to support that.
I didn't read through Hamas' because I don't think much of Hamas as a legitimate governing entity.
Want to try again as this is what the Palestinian National Covenant says
Palestinian National Covenant - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Article 7 of the earlier document was changed from "Jews of Palestinian origin are considered Palestinians ..." to being restricted only to those "who had resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion." The final article providing that it can only be amended by a vote of a two-thirds majority of the Palestinian National Council (PNC) at a special session convened for that purpose was left unchanged.
Now we all know that the "Zionist invasion began in 1870 and I doubt that any indigenous Jews from that time are still alive. So in es
Yeah, I know - whether folks believe it or not, there is a part of me that wishes that this were not true - that peaceful coexistence between the Israelis and Palestinians was still possible, but - and this is pure personal opinion - I think that possibility died a quiet, lonely death, quite some time ago.Disagree Mr. Pessimistic Conquista
Am I positive? Of course not. Do I believe it? Yes. Do I perceive realistic and likely reasons for that belief? Yes.
And IF peaceful coexistence is no longer possible, then one side or the other is gonna have to go.
And, because extermination would be an unforgivable sin and crime against God and Man...
That doesn't leave anything other than mass relocation of one side or the other.
IF we are left with nothing better than relocation, then the weaker side will be the one to go.
That's all based upon the premise that peaceful coexistence is now virtually impossible.
If I'm right, then everything I've said beyond that point is both logical and nearly inevitable.
Or a Berlin Wall...or seperation like N S Korea. I think forced relocation of huge numbers of people is the least likely outcome
We already have a " Berlin Wall" of sorts and team Palestine sees it as a RACIST divide. Expect even more separation barriers to be erected and for the Israeli's to enforce even harsher controls on the land they annexe in Jerusalem. Expect to see Palestinian violence and riots as the separation barriers are extended and deep piles driven into the land to deter tunnels. Maybe drilling steel/concrete lined holes and placing explosives at the bottom would also deter Palestinian tunnels as the explosions would trap the terrorists in the tunnels.
From your source:
The Palestinian National Charter was adopted on May 28, 1964, establishing the Palestine Liberation Organization, in (east) Jerusalem along with another document, variously known as the Basic Constitution, Basic Law or Fundamental Law of the PLO, based on an earlier Draft Constitution. The Charter is concerned mainly with the aims of the Palestine Liberation Organization, while the Fundamental Law is more concerned with the structure and procedures of the organization.It's the PLO's charter. Like I said - various groups have charters. The Palestinian people as a whole do not.
Which was adopted as the Palestinian National Charter when the PLO became fatah. So it is for all the Palestinian people and not just the PLO.
No, because you also have Hamas and it's charter. They are the charters of the political groups. The people as a whole don't have one and won't I guess, until they have a chance to develop state and national constitution of some sort.
