Palestine: beware the snake oil salesman

By David Singer - posted Wednesday, 29 May 2013

The PLO claim to sovereignty in all of Palestine continues to be the major obstacle to ending the conflict between Jews and Arabs.

Larudee has every right to support this spurious claim - but it continues to plague the "Palestinian cause" and prolong the resolution of the long running conflict between Arabs and Jews.

Larudee pleads to remove anti- Semitism from the discussion of Palestinian rights.

He should be encouraging Hamas and the PLO to remove their overt declarations of unabashed Jew hatred from their respective Charters as an essential first step.

Hopefully the removal of these vile provisionscould lead to the end of a conflict that could and should have been resolved in 1947 or in the following 20 yearswhen sovereignty for Palestinian Arabs in Palestine was denied by their Arab brethren.

The last thing the "Palestinian cause" needs is snake oil salesmen peddling false claims - a sure prescription for continuing disaster.
