State of israel was proclaimed. Palestine was lost. 16 years later in 1964 the Palestine Liberation Organization or the p. L. O. Made up of different factions the p. L. O. Has been at the heart of the struggle to regain palestine ever since. Expelled from jordan and then the ban on the p. L. O. Seemed to be running out of options. Forced into a corner its leader Yasser Arafat soon found himself in gauged in a fratricidal fight for the control of the p. L. O. And for his life. With the withdrawal of the bulk of its forces from beirut the p. L. O. Was in limbo once again few out of countries wanted to welcome thousands of palestinian fighters for the 1st time the p. L. O. Was existence in exile would be without the military force that had characterized it stays in jordan and lebanon the price of defeat in beirut soon appeared before out of the weakened p. L. O. Leader found himself under attack from palestinian Leaders Within the p. L. O. And even from within his own fatah faction. The critics said artifact style of leadership was too autocratic and they accused him of abandoning the revolution by evacuating beirut and seeking going to go she added settlement. Yes i offered to lead to any argument that got the shock yes the arafat wants to abandon the struggle we want to continue but he came to damascus and attempted a coup in fatah to kill the revolution which we want to preserve. Arafat has sold out because he is no longer interested in the revolution. Syria which had always wished to make the p. L. O. Subservient to its will sought to exploit out of fats vulnerability. Liquid as he meets them and every defeat has a price and the part of the price was the split at the time syria tried to settle a score with the p. L. O. Leadership. What transpired was a syrian attempt to dominate palestinian decision later that should direct syrian intervention or through a serious palestinian tool that was met with a result of defense of independence of palestinian Decision Making. The syrian intervention found a fertile breeding ground of differences and power struggles with them further. And you have a battle for the s. S. E. If you shut it. Out of our bird is a direct responsibility for that split in the p. L. O. To confront that there were 2 choices that arafats made the choice that there exist in swells futile. Palestinian opponents start a fight for breakaway groups splitting from out of france main for the faction one group called itself fattah and the father syria and libya were only too willing to support the rebels. The tensions within the p. L. O. Were rising the battle lines of a fratricidal struggle were beginning to appear. And happy and. Let it affect them at. Objectively speaking in the beginning the demands made to arafats were just demands and possible to realize i presented them to him he said he could accept them but he distrusted the intentions of his opponents and i conveyed his acceptance to fight the intifada it was very obvious that they had no intention to arrive at an understanding i was convinced of there was a conspiracy and the other split serve the interest of certain our countries it was a joint syria libya and decision. But that that what. We called for a dialogue to resolve the differences between both wings of fact that was rejected by arafats components in fact to happen to fire back at what they thought they could complete control of factor in the other hand arafats factor that was initially receptive to our proposal. Arafats arch rival abu nidal quickly allied himself with the anti out of at faction. In april of 1983 at a meeting in portugal the Abu Nidal Organization assassinated by some subtle we 3 leading p. L. O. Moderate and artifact representatives who had been negotiating with israel. This. Is really leadership on peres also in attendance was left alone are. Enough to. A. Week or so i thought was assessing later on i saw him in tunis and i asked him why he hadnt also shot that is he said hes orders to kill some thought we only saw one day i hope to write an article about abu nidal and such i would call it who is a traitor the murderer or the victim the victim was innocent and honorable a man who knew where his peoples interests lay but the murderer was a tool and a traitor abu nidal discredited the palestinian cause in the eyes of the world when in 19052 of his european cells attacked rome and vienna airports killing 18 and wounding a 140 people. A cia document at the time claimed that abu nidal had not attacked a single israeli target back here. Back in june 1983 when it was syria declared on a shuttle persona nongrata and expelled him from damascus the break was cement. So whats going to go now. As you see you have to go there on the field and just have a i said its going to. Do you mean exactly as a. Mess. There were you know i am very. I have a meeting here after having the thing i really want meeting with no. And with everything and the president here you have an event where. I respect that but you have to wait and see. I think the commander. Going on now only thing is going in an extent way ok ok thank you. Female. Boss to be out of. It i didnt mean that i say do it out to be. A minute. Well. When they met then the. Phrase so what if. But no one can harm fatah fatah is very strong and no one can harm its leadership or unity we cannot be dictated to it would be very easy to get on a plane and go and surrender to syrian president. I assure you if i did that both the problems on the factions would vanish but we are against this for the sake of our people and the dignity of this movement and this model kind of he said. Half as our last side had grand strategic calculations he viewed the palestinian issue is his to god and preserve there is no such thing as the independence of palestinian Decision Making in the syrian lexicon. Syrias foreign minister once told me so have you had a palestine something syria. In july 983 fighting broke out in the bekaa valley in lebanon between pro and anti artifact forces on a fact now faced an armed revolt against his authority by pro series elements within the p. L. O. I thought loyalists who had found their way back to lebanon were besieged by the syrian army and its palestinian allies in the city of tripoli in north lebanon. In a daring errancy journey from his new headquarters into the sea a lot of that managed to slip into tripoli in disguise and join. Pro syrian palestinians responded immediately. I mean most. Did. Well betty body and carry it in for history unique. To having it in for. What the. Final now. As. Well. Why did he well. Enough see why shaaban finest cluny human home the defense of tripoli was led by artifacts deputies. That are known as abu jihad it so theyre not that of the syrian dissident this is he rejected the description of the ongoing battle as a purely palestinian affair youre seeing this out of whats think is that its the bank from the syrian army you see your car look you can follow it its. Just be fair use to be difficult to say it coming from the city im not a museum to them and they. See it in command but as you see. On a financial prominence kept up that tax they had the support among palestinians in the occupied territories. Looking to meet with that and what we can see that Yasser Arafat used to be a symbol for our people but the people are beginning to gradually see the truth and realize what is happening to this person who is interested as a fighter for the independence of palestinian Decision Making is now abusing his position to make. Such claims were not borne out by facts on the ground palestinians in the west bank in gaza rallied around on a fact who expressed the philosophical view of the ongoing conflict you have to understand what the meaning of the war is a loud voice for policy. The loud voice of politics was taking a heavy toll on the residents of tripoli. Faced with mounting pressure to end the conflict saudi arabias foreign minister traveled to damascus and announced an agreement had been reached to end hostilities and evacuating out of us forces from tripoli we have. Reached an agreement. Here based on the 2 principles that. Do these principles. To prevent. Any destruction of the city of tripoli and stop the fighting between the factions tripoli and called for the withdrawal of Foreign Force at a Syrian Armed Forces out of tripoli well these principles have been enunciated in this. In this document. The United Nations made arrangements for out of fat and 4000. 00 of his fighters to depart the coastal lebanese city on board 5 greek ships. Following his 2nd expulsion from lebanon on a fact once more defined the enforced exile as another step towards victory this is a part of the long march. Out independent. States. Still are kept that palestine just beyond the rhetoric out of fact seemed a spent force. But the elusive Palestinian Leader had another card up his sleeve. Shorter friends out of fact traveled to cairo to meet egyptian president Hosni Mubarak it was a bold and dramatic act out of fact became the 1st arab leader to meet an egyptian president since former president and were said that had signed a peace treaty with israel in 1989 the arab world was thunderstruck. He felt long and hard but do not imagine that it was an easy decision for him or he knew that he would antagonize the fact leadership now because he didnt consult them and he knew that syria will grant him a traitor and the end as he always did made the decision because he was convinced that it served a higher interest of the Palestinian People. But he was fully aware of the disks it entailed and that the people who loved and supported him find it incomprehensible i thought to visit was a diplomatic coup for mubarak and in subsequent years egypt would increasingly become the p. L. O. His main patron out of touch opponents within the p. L. O. Accused him of betraying the palestinian cause syria castigated him as a traitor under attack artifact sort of political refuge with his former adversaries king hussein of jordan since the p. L. O. Was expulsion from jordan relations between the 2 leaders had always been an easy but out of pattern king hussein now came together in an Uneasy Alliance the king allowed the Palestinian Parliament in exile to convene in the jordanian capital amman in 1984. This proved a lifeline trying to fight his ability to convene the Palestine National council with the required one allowed him to maintain the legitimacy of his leadership of the p. L. O. The has now lawful in a 30 minute that measured we looked for locations to hold the p. And c. Meeting and there were suggestions of holding it on board the ship it was the session of the p. And c. Hadnt taken place the p. L. O. Wouldnt have finished and tell us any legitimacy last so in spite of our reservations it was convened and im on. The jordanian p. L. O. Representative led to the signing of the iman accord in february 1905 according to its terms the p. L. O. And jordan would form a joint delegation to future negotiations for resolving the out of israeli conflict syria opposed the accord and sought to exact retribution 4 out of 5 small once again 11 on was the battleground. The syrian backed a militia and and the other factions besieged the Palestinian Refugee camps in beirut and southern lebanon. The camps were subjected to an on and off siege and onslaught for the next 3 years. I can look. At them with it out that. Could not have become involved had the syrians not asked them they quest was made to sever lebanese but is that all of the client to have that is possibility of shedding palestinian blood on their hands and accepted the task the fighting and the how doing the experiences for the refugees would be termed the camps war. There what criminals there 2. Palestinian women were being shot in the head as they went for water deliberate. And those criminals are Walking Around us among us today i can remember the savitri i can remember one day. With so many armor were firing so many machine guns i mean you know weapons into the camp that there was a rustling sound like. They go probably. And it took me several minutes to realize what it was they were firing so many bullets that the bullets were touching each other in the air as they were going into the camp walls of steel all touching each other all the bullets rustling like silk being torn up you know one girl here was shot in the leg as she was trying to bring in food through the answers that they now call the death. And another lady here who has affected her she was shot in the head theyre forced to go out still to bring in food and almost every day women are shot comparisons were being drawn between the sub and shatila massacres and the new camps war. Had a lot of the law that theyre no use and i say that war was very bloody and lasted a long time the massacres perpetrated against the Palestinian People in that war well worse than sabra and shatila massacre it was a wholesale destruction and indiscriminate killing. The ama leadership should apologize to the Palestinian People if you genuinely wants closure we have a record of everything names and numbers they managed to crawl in from outside they were also from outside they call it in as the sand hills and this is the 2nd time that these girls are planning to come in in this way. Because. He was. On the wrong. Was. The. We feel that nobody is feeling what the. Suffering here is just the siege to continue killing the people i can see any political future or any. Victories for those who are ceding the camp or even we can say that our people inside the camp is not looking for victory just looking for peace. And to live in a secure and our life always and i hope that the world around us can hear this for us and try to help our people to lift the siege. And in fact suffered a further blow when israeli warplanes raided his p. L. O. Headquarters in tunisia killing 160 people. Yet again artifacts survived. The p. L. O. Leader continued to be elusive in political matters as well. Jordans repeated attempts to induce him to honor the terms of the man accords proved futile. Associates a place of see as a. Chairman arafat was a mecurio personality but he never kept any agreement he made with an arab country if he found a more lucrative offer elsewhere. When the amen accords he would place the term confederation or the term twinning as in twins. But this term has no basis in International Law it was the beginning of the end of the a man accords look at a shot of hurt and though. It was a we feel that the fed had no real intention to commit to the ongoing that it was more of a maneuver than a real attempt at finding a solution i went to him to sign a document pertaining to the amount of calls i asked for some time to come for with the p. L. O. Leadership left and didnt return so we had a joke about him in the way that were shuttled me up forcing me from this having had enough jordan announced the abrogation of the man accords almost one year after they had been signed. The jordanian severely curtailed the activities of the p. L. O. And expelled abu jihad. Over satisfied to hear to this even a. Statement that was made public by one of the members of the cabinet in jordan the dain tend to close 24. Out of that dirty to be a law office in jordan. To put more strictures. On day activities of the p. L. O. Even sure. We are not in the oil cage as some are thinking if we are in lebanon or in jordan having some problems in syria that will not put an end for the p. L. O. Or for a palestinian state we are still alive every word as people who are still alive in our occupied territory facing the Israeli Occupation despite jordanian frustration many palestinians believe don i thought had accomplished a masterpiece to. A man but in the asset out of the man accords was a brilliant tactical maneuver executed by yes i refer that he used it to gain some breathing space he established relations with jordan signed the agreement and then abrogated it. He was expecting him from the going to give then go as far out of found himself he feigned ignorance as to want to go wrong but it seems that spite of all our efforts to accord down. Insisting that just a bit is which will effect in data or directly. To your definition their attention. But i had paid the price of his political movie at an arab summit in amman in 1970 being hussein refused to receive the Palestinian Leader at the airport as well as this diplomatic snub the palestinian issue was relegated to the periphery of the agenda and i felt departed claiming he was satisfied with the results of the summit but he appeared to have reached the limits of his tactical capabilities. But as before the p. L. O. Leader from the lifeline. It was to come from an unexpected source. After decades of oppression the palestinians still living in the occupied territories. Is there. A beleaguered out of 5 paying the price for his political maneuvering in the netherlands now desperate for american recognition good technique and absolutely denounce all orders all his buddies how did the p. L. O. Find strength and support from their only lifeline oppressed palestinians living in the occupied territories chronicling the turbulent story of the struggle for a palestinian homeland p. L. O. History of a revolution an aljazeera. Rewind continues to care bring your people back to life im sorry with updates on the best of aljazeera documentaries.
