BEDEIN'S TEN POINTS Activism in USA

TO DEFEAT ANNAPOLIS

DAVID BEDEIN, MSW

COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER

The purpose of the Annapolis Summit is to hand sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and part of Jerusalem to the aegis of the PLO. Sovereignty means guns in an independent nation which cannot be violated. Most people do not understand that.

The US and Israel governments hope to portray and isolate opposition to a Palestinian state as a small religious minority - in both countries - who do not care about peace. The US and Israeli governments have therefore combined their “information machines” to promote a “peaceful Palestinian state”, downplaying and ignoring the fact that the PLO will not relinquish its purpose: to conquer all of Palestine. After all, the term FATAH connotes “conquest” in Arabic.

Here are ten vital factors and tactics to keep in mind, in order to prevent the Annapolis Summit from succeeding in that purpose.

1. Educate decision makers and opinion makers that the PLO, defined by both the US and Israel as an illegal terrorist organization, indeed represents a threat to the US and to Israel, not only to Judea/Samaria/Jerusalem
2. Invite articulate specialists in Arabic language and Islam to present the face of what Fatah spokesmen communicate to their people in their own lore and language. These experts should address influential Jewish constituencies and key congressional staffers.
3. Stir a momentum that both the press and both governments are being pummeled with feedback from thousands of people, by bombarding key congress people along with the Israeli embassy and Israeli consulates with thousands of individually written letters of protest – NOT with petitions.
4. Establish weekly vigils of articulate protesters in strategic locations in the US and in Israel.
5. Seek out seemingly unlikely allies - i.e., Non-Orthodox Jews in the US, along with working class “mesorti” Sephardim, left wing kibbutzim now under attack in the Negev, and even Arabs who fear the PLO takeover.
6. Provide the media with sample footage and testimony of life in Sderot/Western Negev to warn about the quality of life following Israeli withdrawals.
7. Do not underestimate Olmert: Anticipate that the Israeli Prime Minister as an alternative gov’t under his sleeve, with Meretz and the three Arab parties, even if Shas and the Lieberman parties bolt the Israeli government. Expect that the Israeli Prime Minister will seek to defuse the Jerusalem issue by offering to keep PLO sovereignty out of Jerusalem, in order to distract from the reality that their guns would be trained on Jerusalem
8. Threaten US based supporters of Fatah with legal action, since Fatah is listed by the US as a terrorist organization, and any assistance rendered Fatah by a US citizen is a felony.
9. Publish maps which illustrate Jerusalem’s intertwining Jewish & Arab neighborhoods, along with the proximity of Judea and Samaria to Jerusalem & to all of Israel’s coastal region. .
10. Present the media and the public with families whose loved ones have been murdered by the Fatah.
