Tawfiq Tirawi is more forthright than most, but what he says here is, contrary to popular belief, the common view among the “Palestinian” leadership. Find out why in The Palestinian Delusion.
“Despite Corona crisis: PA’s 1967 borders proposal is part of stages plan to replace Israel, indicates Fatah official,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, March 24, 2020:
Top Fatah official Tawfiq Tirawi hasn’t let the Corona crisis affect his policy of denying Israel’s right to exist and promote the notion that all of Israel is “Palestine,” or in his words: “Palestine is all of Palestine.”
In an interview earlier this month, Tirawi, who is a Fatah commissioner and member of its Central Committee, repeated his view that the 1967 borders – which the PA claims it will be content with as “Palestine” – is not the PA goal. All Israeli cities such as “Haifa, Jaffa, Acre,” he says are also “Palestine”:
Tirawi: “My homeland is Nablus, Jenin, Haifa, Jaffa, Acre. (Last three are Israeli cities). Therefore, my homeland is all of Palestine, and this is what I was brought up on. And I always say that Palestine is all of Palestine. This is far from the plans that were offered [at Oslo] in order to achieve something for our people… When the Palestinian leadership established the Fatah Movement [in 1965], it offered proposals. Then following the first proposal, for all of Palestine – the first proposal [in 1965, sought] a democratic state that will include the Muslims, Christians, and Jews. [In 1993, Fatah] raised the issue of the [smaller] Palestinian state on the 1967 borders. This was so that we would achieve something for our people. However, I say to you: Are we forgetting that Jaffa is ours? No. That Acre is ours? No. That Nazareth is ours? No. (All three are Israeli cities). I am convinced of this, and this is my viewpoint that I am always saying and presenting. Always.”

Recently, Tirawi also participated in an event at which a huge poster with the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel as “Palestine” together with the PA areas was displayed. The map is made up of puzzle pieces in the colors of the Palestinian flag.

We, the Zionists, all know about this stance. No surprise. And no surprise for others who sides with these Islamofascists. The 1967-armistice lines are tread-stones for an eradication of the only democracy in the Mideast.—So, don’t be fooled, Gantz et al. our enemy still believes in Israel’s withering away. Keep the Pal Arabs on hold!
Cathy says
Gantz believes or pretends to believe, whatever will get him the most votes. Now he’s in a Likud govt, which is probably the best solution to Israel’s current govt problems, but if he wanted the votes of Otzma, he’d probably even put on a black hat and coat.
Kesselmann says
Agree!

Fatah top dog says call for 1967 borders is part of stages plan to eradicate Israel altogether
………………………
Yes–that’s *exactly* what this is for. This is not about a “Two State Solution”, but a step toward destroying Israel outright.
mortimer says
It’s actually the TWO-STAGE DESTRUCTION of Israel that Tawfiq Tirawi is advocating : Step One – build a well-armed base on the West Bank; Step Two – attack Israel with the help of Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Iran and exterminate the Israelis.
Kesselman says
Spot On!
Cathy says
They already tried that when the Arab states ganged up on Israel in 1948, and they lost. Again in 67, Jordan and Egypt tried again, and lost. I think the next step is stealth jihad, with their terrorists getting elected to the Knesset. They now have the third largest party. What next? They were stopped when Gantz rejected their support and went with Bibi. That move might have greater repercussions in the unseen world than we realize. HaShem won’t – we hope and pray – let the terrorists ever have the power to destroy Israel. This virus could be their undoing. We shall see.

Agent provocateur Dan Roley has constantly claimed here that his outfit is enslaving Muslims in Africa. This is nothing but projection, of course–instead, it is Muslims enslaving Infidels.
And now he is implying that the civilized Robert Spencer is advocating enslaving Muslims, which is just grotesque calumny. There is no bigger advocate of freedom and hater of slavery than Robert Spencer.

Take a ride in the “way-back” machine to the time when the disgusting arafat was making such arrogant demands and lying constantly about what he and his cohorts were after. He said one thing in public about an agreement with Israel and the very opposite in private…that moslims would never have any agreements with Israel to allow peace to exist.
This creep is no different. Never peace, never truth, never. Never trust a moslim to be honest
In all probability, if he sat across the table from Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu for “talks.” he would lie through his teeth, even though he has said “all” is what they are after and nothing less than a complete destruction of Israel will be enough.
These terrorist liars have been given many inches, but they want the entire 9 miles that remain as the tiny nation of Israel.
David says
Compare the vast sizes of many muslim lands to the tiny size of Israel. Can’t they just let the jews have their small country to live in? No, it is not about size, but is about the very existence of Jews in Israel, and even Jews living anywhere in the world.
I wonder if muslims know why everyone who understands islam, hates them. (Well they hate islam, to be fair). Muslims are the victims of islam, and so is the rest of the World. Maybe they are doing something wrong? They certainly are. The puzzle is, why don’t more people see this. Every terror attack is hard evidence. Educate non-muslims! Spread the word!

Good post David.

So the Israeli’s won the War in 6 days! He ignores that FACT! They lost all that particular land and Israel would defend any more War and would win again, hopefully with MORE LAND!
mortimer says
Tawfiq Tirawi has spoken very directly what other Arab leaders have been suggesting all along.
The British Foreign Office could have solved the problem in 1920 -1922 when they established the Emirate of Trans-Jordan. A Dominion of Israel could have been established at the same time, Jews invited to populate it and much needless suffering could have been avoided.
Where else should Jews live except in JUDEA, their original homeland? Judea is in the West Bank.

He is down with their 50 year plan.
We will bomb buses full of children until we are victorious!
Good luck with that this isn’t the 60s.

I believe what the Bible says Israel will never be eradicated God will always protect Israel.

I thought it said “Fart Top Dog”
Jerry says
When talking about the bogus “two states solution” the enemies of Israel and the Jews deliberately avert attention from the fact that Jordan already occupies more than 82% of the land of the “League of Nations” erstwhile Palestine.
Islam, Muslim Arabs and other Muslims have an agenda not only to abolish Israel as a Jewish state but also for total genocide of all Jews of this Planet.
Carefully read the last major sub paragraph to Article Seven of the Hamas Covenant which is, in turn is a direct quotation from the Hadith.
For those of us who are not Jewish and lulled into a false sense of security I have the bad news: The Jews are the first target of the genocidal Islam, but all other non-Muslims are also a target for an Islamic perpetrated genocide.
There is a slow genocide of Hindus and Christians in Pakistan.
There is an ongoing slow genocide of Christian Kopts in Egypt.
Even Muslims who are not followers of locally main strain of Islam are not safe as evidence by genocidal attacks on Suffis in Northern Sinai
The world seems to be horrified by the demise of more than half a million mainly Muslims in the Syrian conflict and the displacement of millions of others, yet the the almost total disappearance of more than two and a half millions of Christians from Iraq and Syria during the same period is overlooked.
They have not migrated. They are not in formal or informal refugee camps. They were just wiped off the face of this Earth.
And the Islamic Jihadi genocide continues in all corners of this planet, including the under reported Northern Mozambique.
Jerry says
BismilAllah Rahmani Rahim.
In the name of Allah the merciful and forgiving
the Islamic Death Cult makes genocidal war
against all non-Muslim living.
