Former senior Yasser Arafat YS”VZ aide Jibril Rajoub tells it like he see it, and in this case, he states loud and clear that “all of the State of Israel is on occupied Palestinian land”.
Today, Rajoub remains a member of the Fatah directorate. Israel wishes to advance peace negotiations with Fatah, not Gaza, for the former is the “more moderate partner” according to Israeli leaders. Rajoub is also the head of the Palestinian Olympic Committee and heads the PA (Palestinian Authority) soccer league.
Palestine Media Watch quotes Rajoub, taking the information from PA websites and media. A number of weeks ago he was quoted as saying that if they, the PA, had a nuclear weapon, they would use it against Israel. He insists all of the areas viewed as the State of Israel since 1948 sits on “occupied Palestine”.
He adds “There was a foolish Israeli effort to arrange for an Israeli Palestine joint sporting event, soccer, but we of course refused.”

funny, in a twisted way, bc they would die too
1. That has always been the Arab position, at least in heir own media.
2. If Jews are unwilling to give up their claim to parts of Eretz Yisrael, why should the Arabs. Most of them have roots in the area going back thousands of years (unlike most Americans whose roots to their country go back decades or centuries).
3. Given that the zionists are out to convince most Hareidim they would be better off under Islamic rule (at least no conscription, with freedom to educate our children the way we want)- a one state solution sounds like something worth looking into. At least it will get rid of Lapid and the Toeiva crowd.
You can trust the Arab leaders to say it like it is, “There is no Israel, it is all occupied land and we will never allow any INFIDELS (#2 Jews) to live on these lands”…
the arabs view Israel as dir al islam, meaning that it is Islamic land since Islam ruled it (turks) and it is an affront to Islam that infidels (Jews) are ruling it.
In their eyes it must be redeemed at all costs….
akuperma, your 2nd point is not true at all!! Most arabs is Israel today are children of those who migrated from Syria in the 1800’s.
