After taking control of Egypt, Gamal Abdul Nasser created two liberation organizations to spread Egyptian Pan-Arabism. One was called the National Liberation Front (FLN) to liberate Algeria. The second, the Palestine Liberation Organization, was founded so that Nasser could liberate Palestine for Egypt, not for the benefit of the "indigenous Palestinians." In 1964, Nasser hired an Egyptian by the name of Ahmed ash-Shuqairy to form and lead the PLO. Shuqairy, a lawyer, wrote the original Covenant, which "omitted any specific reference to a separate Palestinian Arab state. Article 24 stated explicitly that this organization shall not exercise any territorial sovereignty over the West Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Gaza Strip, or the Himma area….The commitment of the PLO was simply to destroy Israel. It was not to liberate the West Bank and Gaza then under Arab rule, nor was it to establish a new Palestinian state." (A Mandate For Terror, page 16)
In 1969, after the Six Day War, Shuqairy quit his position, and shortly afterward an unemployed Egyptian civil engineer, at the age of 35, became a "Palestinian" and was appointed by Nasser to lead the PLO. His name was Abed a-Rauf Arafat al-Qudwah al-Husseini, later known as Yasser Arafat. Born in Cairo on August 24, 1929, his mother was a wealthy Egyptian from the prominent Abu-Saud family. Arafat's father had moved to Cairo in the early 1920s, over 25 years before the reestablishment of the State of Israel.

Thank you - what better lettre de noblesse than an association with the FLN who freed Algeria from french colonialism?
His name was Abed a-Rauf Arafat al-Qudwah al-Husseini, later known as Yasser Arafat.
Thanks to whom the palestinians are still fighting the israeli occupation. Without Arafat, they would be like the Armenians under the turks: who would remember anything about them today ?
" The FLN freed Algiers from French Colonialism" = "The Bolsheviks freed Russia from Tsarist Oppression".
It also paved the way for France to become a colony of Islam.
Noblesse indeed, Aristo.
Two problems for your last paragraph [actually, many more, but two suffice]
The Armenian people actually existed as a political and cultural entity before Turkish rule, they were not a gobble of Greeks and Bulgarians who adopted a name to lay claim to Turkey and call for its extermination.
Israeli occupation"???
Without Nasser establishing Fatah, preparing the way for the grand goal of the annihilation of Israel, the nonJewish peoples of Gaza would be living under Egyptian Rule, and the nonJewish people's of the West Bank would be living under Jordanian rule. And the word "Palestine" would refer to a british term for their governance of that region after the collapse of the Ottamans. And so, hence, there would not be a people calling themselves "Palestinians" today.....
If the FLN ,contra Israel, had been set aside after Nasser's Pan-Arab defeat in 1967, and Israel allowed to be in peace, then the nonJewish folk of Gaza would have been living in Israel or as Egyptians, the West Bank folk in Israel or as Jordanians, and again "Palestinian" would only exist as that quaint name from the brief days of Britdom.
And they all would have been better off. Unlike the Armenians, and all non Islamic peoples under the Turks, for whom staying under Turkish rule meant Dada.
To you, Le Pew, a safe life, and the freest life of any peoples in the Mideast, is a tragedy. Seeking to destroy the nation that would make that freer and safer life possible, yes, for nonJews, is a reason to Ululate.
No wonder the Self Hating 0.5'er ululates so giddily the Pepean Party Line.
"In the early years of the Tawheed (Islamic conquest of the Arabian peninsula), a Muslim concept was devised to achieve success against the enemy, Al-Taqiya. Al-Taqiya, from the verb Ittaqu, means linguistically dodge the threat. Politically it means simulate whatever status you need in order to win the war against the enemy…both Jewish and Christian." As the Muslim cleric Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali, considered the greatest Moslem after Mohammed, wrote, "If a lie is the only way to obtain a good result, it is permitted. We must lie when truth leads to unpleasant results."
Yep. And a variant of this credo was adopted by the Bolsheviks -- it's a bedrock guiding principle for the Commies, too.
Of course, Pepe follows these principles with blind devotion. His diversion into the supposed greateness of the FLN is typical pinko-Taqiya. Let's review a bit:
[The FLN] essentially drew its political self-legitimization from three sources: Nationalism, and the revolutionary war against France; Socialism, loosely interpreted as a popular anti-exploitation creed; Islam, defined as a main foundation for the national consciousness.
Where have we seen before those first two guiding ideologies conflated? Aahhh, the all-encompassing unity of Planet Pepe...
