SOVIET RUSSIA THE CREATORS OF THE PLO AND
THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

How Soviet Russia created the
"peace process" and incited the Muslim world against the US.
The
"peace process" is a charade. The revelations of the highest ranking
Soviet bloc defector, Major General Ion Mihai Pacepa, show that the peace
process is, and has from the outset, been nothing but a charade.
It
all started with the creation of a fictitious "Palestinian People"
who allegedly demand political self determination. This collective noun was
created by the Soviet disinformation masters in 1964 when they created the
Palestinian Liberation Organization, the "PLO". The term
"Palestinian People" as a descriptive of Arabs in Palestine appeared
for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow.
The Charter was affirmed by the first 422 members of the Palestinian National
Council, handpicked by the KGB.
Why
in Moscow? The 1960s and 1970s were the years the Soviets were in the business
of creating "liberation organizations": for Palestine and Bolivia in
1964, Columbia 1965, in the 70s "The Secret Army for the Liberation of
Armenia" that bombed US airline offices in Europe, and "The
Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine that bombed Israelis."
But the PLO, was by far its most enduring success.
Pacepa
has written[1]
For nearly four
decades, the PLO has been the largest, wealthiest, and most politically
connected terrorist organization in the world. For most of that time, it was
held in the firm grip of Yasser Arafat's iron fist. But Arafat was not the
fierce, independent actor he posed as; he was completely dependent on the
Soviet KGB and its surrogate Warsaw Pact intelligence services for arms,
training, logistical support, funds, and direction.
According
to Pacepa his KGB handlers included Vasali Samoylenko, Vladimir Buljakov, and
Soviet "Ambassador" Alexander Soldatov. Arafat's closest friend and
head of PLO intelligence, Hani Hassan, was actually an agent of the DIE, the
Romanian subsidiary of the KGB.
In
the PLO Charter preamble they actually had to use the phrase "Palestinian
Arab People" to exclude those Jews who had retained a presence in
Palestine since Biblical times and had been a majority population in Jerusalem
as early as 1845. Romanian Communist dictator Ceausescu, at Soviet urging,
persuaded Arafat to abandon his claim of wanting to annihilate the Jews in
Israel in favor of "liberating the Palestinian People" in Israel.
Why?
A brilliant strategy. That was the first step in reframing the conflict between
the Arabs and the Jews from religious jihad to secular nationalism in a quest
for political self determination, a posture far less offensive to the West. By
focusing on political liberation for a small group of Arabs, it ignored the fact
that Israel is a small state whose existence is threatened by the surrounding
Arab states. These are states that outnumber its population many fold with
Muslims who are commanded by an extreme form of their religion to kill infidels
to take back land formerly controlled by Muslims. It creates Jews, ignoring
they are a small group, as oppressors of an even smaller discrete group of
Arabs, described in the Charter as Palestinian Arabs excluding those in Jordan,
Judea, Samaria and Gaza. (After the 1967 war, and the Isreali conquest of
Judea, Samaria and Gaza, the exclusions for Arabs in those areas were removed
the Charter). It transforms the Jews from victims to oppressors.
The
Arabs in Palestine had been engaged in religious jihad at least since 1929 when
they massacred 69 Jews in Hebron, egged on by Haj Amin al Husseini, a member of
the Muslim Brotherhood. He had imported the Brotherhood's vicious jihadist
doctrines into Palestine from Egypt. Now, mirabile dictu, jihad became
"liberation". The religiously motivated attacks on Jews were turned
into "resistance" from oppression motivated by secular nationalism.
This will explain to you why, whenever the Arabs attacked the Jews thereafter,
they said they were "resisting".
In
his book, History Upside Down,[2] David Meir Levi puts it this way:
"Arafat was
particularly struck by Ho Chi Minh's success in mobilizing left-wing
sympathizers in Europe and the United States, where activists on American
campuses, enthusiastically following the [propaganda] line of North Vietnamese
operatives, had succeeded in reframing the Vietnam war from a Communist assault
on the south to a struggle for national liberation. Ho's chief strategist,
General Giap, made it clear to Arafat and his lieutenants that in order to
succeed, they too needed to redefine the terms of their struggle. Giap's
counsel was simple but profound: the PLO needed to work in a way that concealed
its real goals, permitted strategic deception, and gave the appearance of
moderation:
"Stop talking about annihilating
Israel and instead turn your terror war into a struggle for human rights. Then
you will have the American people eating out of your hand."
At the same time that he was getting
advice from General Giap, Arafat was also being tutored by Muhammad Yazid, who
had been minister of information in two Algerian wartime governments
(1958-1962): wipe out the argument that Israel is a small state whose existence
is threatened by the Arab states, or the reduction of the Palestinian problem
to a question of refugees; instead, present the Palestinian struggle as a
struggle for liberation like the others. Wipe out the impression that in the
struggle between the Palestinians and the Zionists, the Zionist is the
underdog. Now it is the Arab who is oppressed and victimized in his existence
because he is not only facing the Zionists but also world imperialism.
To make sure that they followed this
advice, the KGB put Arafat and his adjutants into the hands of a master of
propaganda: Nicolai Ceausescu, president-for-life of Romania.
For the next few years, Ceausescu hosted
Arafat frequently and gave him lessons on how to apply the advice of Giap,
Yazid, and others in the Soviet orbit. Arafat's personal "handler,"
Ion Mihai Pacepa, the head of the Romanian military intelligence, had to work
hard on his sometimes unruly protege. Pacepa later recorded a number of
sessions during which Arafat railed against Ceausescu's injunctions that the
PLO should present itself as a people's revolutionary army striving to right
wrongs and free the oppressed: he wanted only to obliterate Israel. Gradually,
though, Ceausescu's lessons in Machiavellian statecraft sank in. During his
early Lebanon years, Arafat developed propaganda tactics that would allow him
to create the image of a homeless people oppressed by a colonial power. This
makeover would serve him well in the west for decades to come."
Brezhnev,
according to Pacepa, carried it one step farther when Carter came into office.
He suggested to Pacepa that Carter might fall for Yassir Arafat PRETENDING to
renounce violence and pretending to seek peace negotiations. He persuaded
Arafat to do this by telling him that the West would shower him with gold and
glory. It did. Billions of dollars and a Nobel prize. Ceausescu warned Arafat
he would have to pretend over and over again. Abbas is still pretending.
James
Woolsey, former CIA director has been reported as stating that Pacepa is
credible. Pacepa's account is also corroborated by Zahir Muhsein, a member of
the PLO executive board. In an interview by the Dutch newspaper Trouw in
1977, he stated that there is no such thing as the "Palestinian
People", that the term's use is a political ploy, and there is no quest
for political self-determination — that as soon as the Jews have been wiped
out, sovereignty would be turned over to Jordan. Hafez Assad also has stated
there was no "Palestinian People"; that prior to 1964 the Arabs in
Palestine called themselves "citizens of Greater Syria".
During
WWI the British offered the local Arabs self determination if they helped in
the war against the Ottoman Empire but the local Arabs fought on the side of
the Ottomans to the eternal gratitude of the Turks.
This
is from Pacepa's article in National Review Online[3].
"In 1972,
the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S.
As KGB chairman Yury Andropov told me [Pacepa], a billion adversaries could
inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to
instill a Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to
turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and
its main supporter, the United States. No one within the American/Zionist
sphere of influence should any longer feel safe.
"According to Andropov, the Islamic
world was a waiting petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of
America-hatred, grown from the bacterium of Marxist-Leninist thought. Islamic
anti-Semitism ran deep. The Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and
victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever
pitch."
Again
from the National Review Online article, Pacepa writes:[3]
"In the mid
1970s, the KGB ordered my [Rumanian intelligence] service, the DIE — along with
other East European sister services — to scour the country for trusted party
activists belonging to various Islamic ethnic groups, train them in
disinformation and terrorist operations, and infiltrate them into the countries
of our "sphere of influence." Their task was to export a rabid,
demented hatred for American Zionism by manipulating the ancestral abhorrence
for Jews felt by the people in that part of the world. Before I left Romania
for good, in 1978, my DIE had dispatched around 500 such undercover agents to
Islamic countries. According to a rough estimate received from Moscow, by 1978
the whole Soviet-bloc intelligence community had sent some 4,000 such agents of
influence into the Islamic world.
In the mid-1970s we also started
showering the Islamic world with an Arabic translation of the Protocols of
the Elders of Zion, a tsarist Russian forgery that had been used by Hitler
as the foundation for his anti-Semitic philosophy. We also disseminated a
KGB-fabricated "documentary" paper in Arabic alleging that Israel and
its main supporter, the United States, were Zionist countries dedicated to
converting the Islamic world into a Jewish colony.
We in the Soviet bloc tried to conquer
minds, because we knew we could not win any military battles. It is hard to say
what exactly are the lasting effects of operation SIG. But the cumulative
effect of disseminating hundreds of thousands of Protocols in the Islamic world
and portraying Israel and the United States as Islam's deadly enemies was
surely not constructive."
You
can find additional revelations in Pacepa's biography, Red Horizons and
in a Front Page magazine interview with him:[4].
Conclusion
The
current violence both in Israel and around the rest of the world is a third
wave of Islamic Jihad or Holy War, with the violence in Israel disguised by the
Soviets as secular nationalism in a quest for political self determination. As
a consequence, Israel is the West's first line of defense. Russia is still the
enemy of Israel and the United States.
