The date of the beginning of Palestinianism: March 1959

We have said for decades now that the only purpose of Palestinian self-determination has been, from the start, centered on the destruction of Israel and not the actual building of a state.

Shoshanna on X found this incredible telegram from the State Department from 1961:

At Arab League meeting at Shtaura last August, decision was made to establish Palestine “personality” or “entity” with implication of Algerian-type movement designed ultimately to eliminate Israel. While longer range plans include military organization and Palestine government, Arabs apparently plan take steps gradually.

Guns don't get more smoking that this. Here we have documentation that the entire purpose of promoting an Arab "Palestine" - something the Arab world opposed in 1947 - is as a means to destroy Israel.

Not to help "refugees." Not for self determination. Not for statehood. It is all a sham, and has been.

In fact, this decision was made in the previous years' meeting, in March 1959. The Arab League Council at that meeting said it recommended “reorganizing the Palestinian people and bringing it forward as an entity."

This is actually very interesting, because it was at that same Arab League meeting that they passed Resolution 1547, recommending that Arab nations refuse to give Palestinians citizenship in their host countries - keeping them in refugee status forever. Which further proves that the entire purpose of the "right to return" is to destroy Israel - these were two sides of the same coin.

The memo also mentioned that the Arabs were excited that the UN was shaping up to become a place where they would have an automatic majority. "They obviously encouraged by new composition of UN, believing that through mutual back-scratching tactics they can parlay Afro-Asian and Soviet bloc votes into series of votes progressively hostile to Israel."

I challenge anyone to find a single decision of the Palestinian leadership that is incompatible with the desire to destroy Israel. You cannot. It is all a continuation of this decision, and later solidified in 1974 with the PLO "phased plan" to destroy Israel.
