                       Zionist Terrorism, First

While Palestinians were celebrating the second anniversary of the
Intifada against the Zionist terrorism in order to achieve
independence, world terrorism hit in the heart of the US to destroy
two of its most important symbols, the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon. The whole world and the Palestinians, as victims of the
Zionist terror, were shocked at the scope of the tragedy that
afflicted the US.
However, the feelings of sympathy we felt towards the victims and
their families were accompanied by a number of serious questions: Why
was the US targeted? Will the US reconsider its practices against the
countries of the world? Will the US government apply a policy of
vengeance against those who disagreed with it or those who would
disagree with it in the future? Will the human tragedy allow for the
return of a much more humane democracy that does not fight terrorism
with terrorism?
These legitimate concerns should not be brushed aside by the
hypocritical positions taken by some countries to appease the US- a
country that does not respect human rights or international legality.
It still sponsors the Zionist terror against our people and kills
civilians in Iraq.
Sharon thought he could abuse the tragedy by likening the Intifada to
the terrorist attack against the US. The US Administration, however,
urged him to show restrain to allow for the formation of an
international alliance against terrorism that includes some
indispensable Arab and Muslim countries. Many of these countries
distanced themselves from the criminal act; they offered their
condolences, condemned the act, and expressed their readiness to
support the US in its fight against terrorism.
It became obvious that the US Administration was planning to impose
its hegemony on the world as a limitless tyranny, especially after it
called its operation to combat terrorism ‘infinite justice’.
The USA administration realized that counties that showed support
after the terrorist attack started to think of their own interests
before agreeing to participate in the alliance against terrorism.
Arab counties seem to have reached a unified position as to the nature
of their role within the US-led alliance. A genuine definition of
terrorism is essential in determining that role. Any definition of
this kind should distinguish between the legitimate right of any
people to liberate their occupied land, on the one hand, and state
terrorism that violates human rights recognized in UN resolutions, on
the other hand.
The US administration exerted pressure on Sharon to return him to the
negotiating table on the basis of Mitchell’s report that calls for a
ceasefire, some confidence building measures and the implementation of
UN resolutions. But Sharon knows quite well that sitting at the
negotiating table means an end to settlement construction and all the
justifications used including that of natural growth. This is in line
with the US position that considers settlements illegal and an
obstacle to peace as James Baker stated before the Madrid Conference.
However, Sharon has no genuine regard for the peace process; he
believes that Palestinians are not entitled to any piece of land of
what he and other racists in Israel call ‘Greater Israel’. Therefore,
any positive response to any peace proposals will endanger his
government. Ze’evi and Liberman, for example, neither believes in
Mitchell’s report or even in the right of Peres to meet President
Arafat.
The US pressure on Sharon made him tactically agree to the meeting but
at the same time he spared no efforts to blow up any positive results.
Israeli intensive aggression during and after the meeting elicited
some revengeful reaction that Israel as usual blames on the PNA. In
addition, Israel wants the PNA to apprehend some of the Intifada
activists while Israeli army officers pride themselves on the number
of Palestinians they killed.
Instead of cooperating with the PNA to create a much more positive
atmosphere by reducing the level of tension in the area, Israeli
officials prefer to drive a wedge between the PNA and the Opposition
by asking the PNA to arrest Palestinian activists. The PNA cannot and
will not play the role of a police force whose basic task is to ensure
the safety of Israel that continues to build settlements. The PNA has
done its utmost to prevent any attacks from territories it controls
especially against civilians. The PNA will continue to coordinate with
the National and Islamic Forces regarding the nature, timing and
location of any operation.
Palestinians like neither to suffer nor to return to a deceitful
negotiating process. They want to end the Zionist terror that is
represented in the following:
The Israel military occupation of the 1967- occupied territories in
contradiction with UN Resolutions 242 &amp; 338. According to the Oslo
Accord, these territories were supposed to be handed back before May
4,1999. Sharon’s government has, however, started to reoccupy some of
the liberated territories.
The construction of settlements on confiscated land after driving out
the Palestinian owners as a form of ethnic cleansing. Sharon’s
government continues to build settlements although it is verbally
committed to Mitchell’s report.
The continued attacks against Muslim and Christian holy places in
Jerusalem, a city that according to U.N.resolution 252 is an integral
part of the occupied territories. Zionist racists continue to use what
they call the cornerstone of the temple to frighten off all lovers of
peace.
The violation of UN Resolution 194 that calls for the return of all
refugees who were driven out of their land.
The terrorist practices carried out against Palestinians through
assassination and closure.
Unlike the terrorist attacks against the US, these terror-generating
violations are committed by a clearly specified source, the successive
governments of Israel.
Will priority be given to a long-term war against terrorism? If so,
will the Palestinian issue occupy a second place, or even be frozen
until further notice? Nobody can rely on promises made by the US whose
Middle East policies are governed by the Zionist lobby.
The current situation is different from the previous one, and the
international alliance being sought by the US will base its definition
of terrorism on international legality and will accordingly specify
ways of dealing with it. Although it is the only super power, the US
cannot impose its views on the international community. Countries have
their own interests to look after. After all, the US is seeking to
impose its hegemony on the world. Choosing Afghanistan as its first
target runs against the interests of two regional powers, Iran and
Russia.
What matters to us is the effective role Arab and Muslim countries
will play in directing international efforts towards achieving freedom
and justice for the whole world.
These efforts should start here in Palestine and particularly in
Jerusalem, the key to peace and stability all over the world. Ending
the US-sponsored Zionist terrorism will terminate world terrorism.
We, Arabs and Muslims, made up our minds to put an end to Zionist
terror in order to bring peace.
Revolution until victory.
