Return 2008

Gloire's "Worst Case Scenerio" site has a scoop of sorts about a stunning new school plan that Fatah hopes to upgrade HAMAS' border crashing stunt with Egypt against Little Satan on her Happy 60th BDay Shindig (Nakbah Day in Arabic).

Just like a jealous neighbor vexed and grieved, the West Bank Capitol in Ramallah is plotting to act out in spite to spoil the party.

WB's Pres Abbas has fixed up a plan for like 3 million Palestinians from the Strip, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria to hitch their way into the sovereign borders of Little Satan, claiming the magical applicable to Palestinians only (honestly, ever heard of millions of Deutschers claiming a right to retake Danzig?) right of return.

Most likely, Little Satan will flash her toothy grin and say "Uh, no thanks!"

"If Israel obstructs their passage, they will strike camp and live in tents until
Israel surrenders and lets them through.

This stunt will be accompanied by pressure from the Palestinian Authority on international organizations to force Israel to implement UN Resolution 194, passed by the General Assembly on Dec. 11, 1948

Gloire's ME spies say Pres Abbas

"...commissioned the “2008 Return” project from a special Fatah forum
headed by Ziyad Abu Ain from Ramallah, deputy minister for Palestinian prisoners
in the Salam Fayyad government and close associate of Marwan Barghouti, who is
serving life for five terrorist murders.

Operation “2008 Return” is described in its introduction as a decision
by the Palestinian people “to implement UN resolution (194), declare themselves
holders of the UN blue banner, and return to their homeland, from which they
were forcefully expelled [Jaffa, Haifa, Acre, Ramla, Lod, Ashkelon etc]… in
order to live in peace and security with their Israeli neighbors.”

[Gloire: This motion is dredged up from the past as though history had stopped at that point and the subsequent 60 years of Arab belligerence, endless conflict and further UN resolutions had never happened. Another part of the same resolution appointed a Conciliation Committee to establish contact with the parties and assist them reach a final settlement of outstanding questions. This part was buried under decades of Arab rejection.]

The Doc (so far no text has been posted) reveals

“Neither the Jews nor the international community can stand against the desire
of the Palestinian people to exercise their right of return to their homeland
and to their homes, land, holy places [Jerusalem] and heritage.”

[Gloire: Mahmoud Abbas incidentally lays claim to Christian as well as Muslim holy sites – therefore also Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee sites.]

The rules read like a camp excursion

1. All returnees must attach the UN resolution and refugee card on their chests.

2. All returnees must bring their tents and other goods with them. If
obstructed by Israeli forces from reaching their land, they must set up their
tents on the border and stay there until Israel surrenders and allows them to
cross.

3. Jewish friends are called upon to assist in resolving the Palestinian refugee problem.

4. Arab governments and friends all over the world are called on to support the logistics of the operation.

5. Palestinian holders of foreign citizenships, especially US and European, are to
charter planes for flights to Israel or neighboring countries on May 14, 2008,
as well reserving passage on tens of ships to dock at Israeli ports on this date.

6. Personal invitations will be extended to all world leaders for their support.

7. Kings and leaders of Islamic countries will be invited, as well as members of the Israeli government and Knesset. Special invitations will be sent to the US president and members of the Senate.

Ending with the ever popular plea (for the ever nonexistant) "Arab Unity" the real irony is that Palestine will unveil this plot during the 29 March Arab League Summit in Damascus.

Bringing this up at the Arab League Summit in Basharopolis may actually backfire on Fatah.

After all, Iran is the man behind the green curtain at Bashar's coming out party plus the mullah's have buddied up and passed on rockets and other machinations of mayhem to HAMAS and the Strip.

When all the goodies get gone over a long weekend, will they be forced to remain? This is significant - it echoes erie tales of civilian and innocents hanging in Lebanon's combat zones for an amazing 2 weeks.

Hostages? Intelligent shielding? Top heavy with kids? Because it looks like a dramatic violent drama magnet.

How would despotic ME rulers explain the food drives and support for nonproductive tent city vacationers who are contributing little to the host enablers?

Support for Fatah versus HAMAS would be the ultimate zero sum game - after all, what kind of support can WB really offer for Syria's conquest of Lebanon?

OTOH, sunni cats may actually think it an effective tactic to marginalize Iran's support for the HAMAS, bolster Abbas and deflect and distract internal dissent by showcasing the Little Satan as the villaness.

Or, Palestinian Sympathy Fatigue may again strike and render the whole exercise null and void.
