If and when Hamas is ever removed from
power in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) will most likely seize
control of the coastal enclave, where nearly two million Palestinians live.
PIJ's new "political document"
exposes the Palestinian terror group's plan for "real peace" in the
Middle East. This "real peace," according to the jihadi group, can be
achieved by eliminating Israel after "liberating Palestine, from the river
to the sea, and after the original owners of the land return to their
homes."
This genocidal "peace" plan
appears to be shared by other Palestinian terror groups, such as Hamas, the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine and even certain parts of Mahmoud Abbas's ruling Fatah
faction.
The
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group is the second-largest terror group in the
Gaza Strip after Hamas. Like Hamas, PIJ does not recognize Israel's right to
exist and believes that violence and terrorism are the only way to
"liberate all Palestine, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan
River."
Like
Hamas, in the past three decades PIJ has carried out thousands of terror
attacks against Israel, including suicide bombings.
Recently,
the PIJ wished to remind us again of its dangerous and poisonous ideology. This
reminder came in the form of a new "political document"published by
the Iranian-backed terror group in the Gaza Strip.
The
document contains important information about the group's strategy to destroy
Israel and provides insight into the role Islam plays in the Israeli-Arab
conflict.
Some may
argue that there is nothing new in the PIJ document. However, PIJ is not just
another Palestinian "resistance" faction, as some Middle East experts
tend to describe it. Rather, it is one of the most dangerous Palestinian terror
groups. It aspires to eliminate Israel and kill as many Jews as possible.
Western
journalists often ignore the power and threat of PIJ, mainly because the
representatives of the terror group rarely give interviews to the foreign
media.
Besides,
it is easier for Western journalists to take the short trip from Jerusalem to
Ramallah to interview a Palestinian Authority official, who uses his or her
fluent English to lie about the Palestinians' desire for peace and coexistence
with Israel.
Western
journalists rarely, if ever, present to their readers and viewers what the
terrorists preach to their own people.
That is
precisely why there is a need to bring the main points of the PIJ document to
the attention of the international media and decision-makers around the world.
The PIJ is a major player in the Palestinian arena, and its political and
military power can be ignored only at great peril.
Here is
what the preface to the terror group's document states:
"Palestine
is the homeland of the Palestinian people, from the early days of history.
Palestine is an integral part of the Arab and Islamic homeland, and it was
usurped by the Zionist Jews with the support and encouragement of Western
colonialist powers."
Explaining
the timing of the publication of its document, PIJ said:
"To
maintain a clear vision and the unity of our goals, away from intellectual
chaos dominating the Palestinian landscape, Palestinian Islamic Jihad saw the
need to formulate this document to explain and affirm the intellectual basis
and features governing its jihad and policies."
Translation:
the PIJ fears that it has fallen off the world's radar. It worries that its
ideology and plans to destroy Israel may be lost amid the "intellectual chaos"
plaguing the Palestinian arena.
Defining
its ultimate mission, PIJ says in its new document:
"Our
number-one priority and main task is to carry out the duty of jihad and
resistance to liberate Palestine. We are an Islamic national liberation
movement and part of the Palestinian people's and Muslim's jihad against
invaders and colonialists. We see ourselves as being part of the general
Islamic trend in the world, which regards Islam as the source of our power and
pride."
The PIJ
document, which the Western media is doing a fine job ignoring, states:
"Palestine
is an Arab, Islamic land, where the Arabs and Muslims possess natural religious
and historic rights. It is forbidden to give it up or compromise it under any
pretext."
The Jews,
the document emphasizes, "have no right in the land of Palestine." It
says that the fact that some Arabs and Muslims have recognized Israel does not
give the Jews any right to the land.
"The
Palestinian people's right to all their lands and homeland, Palestine, is a
comprehensive right that can't be fragmented. This includes our right to own
the land, our right to resist and liberate it, and our right to return to it
and live in it. No one is entitled to give up the right of the Palestinians to
return to their homeland. This is a non-negotiable issue."
The PIJ
document views Israel as a Zionist colonialist project imposed on Arabs and
Muslims by Western powers. Revealingly, these are the same words that Israel's
secular peace partner and the darling of the West, Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas, recently used in a speech he delivered in Ramallah,
during a conference of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Central Council:
The PIJ
document, which serves as the group's "national charter," is a
valuable text. Every word in the document reflects the true sentiments on the
Arab and Islamic street, especially with regards to recognizing Jews' rights
and history.
This is a
document that is currently being taught in Islamic Jihad training bases, and
schools and mosques. It is a document that will help raise another generation
of Palestinians on the glorification of terrorism and anti-Semitism.
This is a
document that deserves to be placed on the desks of all those Westerners who
continue to tell us that peace is possible and that Israel just needs to make
more concessions to achieve that goal.
