Be
Wary of Deadly Coral Snake Posing as Harmless Skipjack Snakes

The Oslo Architects, Department of State officials, the U.N., the
New York Times, the Washington Post and human rights activists have
heralded Dr. Sari Nusseibeh, a key PLO operative and the President
of Al-Quds University, as a man of peace. Really?!
IN A JANUARY 21, 2001 LETTER TO SADDAM HUSSEIN, NUSSEIBEH WROTE:
"In the name of Al-Quds University… allow me to express the
admiration of the Palestinians for your honorable positions… You
represent the vanguard of steadfastness… We, in Jerusalem, are
inspired by you… We are proud to belong to a nation, which considers
you a symbol of resistance and a symbol of its greatness… We are
certain of your support…" Ten years earlier, DURING THE 1991
GULF WAR, NUSSEIBEH WAS ARRESTED BY ISRAEL’S POLICE FOR COLLABORATING
WITH SADDAM, in an attempt to improve the accuracy of Saddam’s Squad
missiles fired at Israel. According to the February 8, 1991 issue
of Ha’aretz (dovish) daily, Yossi Sarid, a leader of Israel’s Left,
told supporters that he would not attend any rally on behalf of
Nusseibeh, "since the arrest was not politically-motivated."
Roni Milo, another dovish politician, then the Minister of Police,
stated on February 7, 1991 (Ha’aretz) that "Nusseibeh performed
severe acts of treachery and collaboration with the enemy."
Judge Vardi Zeiler, President of the Jerusalem County Court, confirmed
(Ha’aretz, February 4, 1991) that "Nusseibeh’s arrest was on
national and personal security grounds." On January 31, 1991
Ha’aretz reported that Nusseibeh transferred hundreds of thousand
dollars to Palestinian terrorist cells during the Gulf War.
But, Sari Nusseibeh is a man of peace…
NUSSEIBEH’S PHILOSOPHY ON THE DISMANTLING OF ISRAEL was detailed
in his own September 15, 2000 document, written in Arabic. He concluded
that the "Algeria Model", which calls for the military
destruction of Israel, has portrayed Arabs as aggressors. Therefore,
suggested Nusseibeh, it has to be replaced by the "South African
Model", featuring integration as a means of the eventual dismantling
of the Jewish State. According to Nusseibeh, the "South African
Model" – bolstered by a more positive balance of power – would
then transform Israel from a Jewish State, dominated by "a
Zionist racist regime," to a Palestinian democratic secular
state. That state would stretch from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean.
He emphasized that the South African Model – which would facilitate
the eventual return of the 1948 refugees to "their homes"
– does NOT entail a ceasefire.
But, Sari Nusseibeh is a man of peace…
NUSSEIBEH’S AUTHENTIC POSITION ON THE "RIGHT OF RETURN"
OF THE 1948 REFUGEES (A EUPHEMISM FOR THE ANNIHILATION OF ISRAEL)
WAS EXPRESSED IN A MARCH 6, 2002 NEWS RELEASE to the Arab media:
"Israel has to assume responsibility for the plight of the
Palestinian refugees, and to recognize their natural right to return…
The implementation of U.N. resolution 194 (December 11, 1948) mandates
Israel to pay full compensation to the Palestinian refugees, and
to discuss the return of those wishing to do so."
But, Sari Nusseibeh is a man of peace…
NUSSEIBEH’S ACCURATE POSITION ON HOMICIDE BOMBERS was exposed during
a June 29, 2002 ("Al Jazirah") TV discussion, in Arabic,
with Khalid Mashal, a Hamas leader, and Umm Nidal, a proud mother
of a homicide bomber, seated next to him. Following up on Mashal’s
and Umm Nidal’s praising of terrorism, Nusseibeh contended: "Hats
off to Umm Nidal, and to any warrior of Palestinian Jihad [Holy
War]… Listening to Umm Nidal, I recall the Koranic verse stating
that Paradise is at the feet of mothers… I do not wish to mix
politics with the respect felt by each Palestinian toward Jihad
warriors…" On June 21, 2002 Nusseibeh sponsored a full-page
advertisement, published by PLO dailies (and grossly misrepresented
by Western media), calling "to reconsider military action against
civilians within the Green Line… since it does not advance the
political goals of the Palestinian People…" He did NOT call
for the end of homicide bombing; he limited the call for reconsideration
to a certain geographic area; he did NOT urge a reconsideration
due to normative-moral reasons, but due to "pragmatic"
reasons.
But, Sari Nusseibeh is a man of peace…
IT WAS ARAFAT WHO APPOINTED NUSSEIBEH TO THE POST OF PRESIDENCY
AT AL-QUDS UNIVERSITY IN JERUSALEM. Arafat has appointed each of
the members of the board of the University, has supervised the activities
of the university, has controlled and approved the budget of the
Jerusalem-based university, which has been registered at the registry
of the Palestinian Authority, in clear and striking violation of
the Israeli law. An August 2001 document submitted to Arafat, by
Nusseibeh, confirms that Al-Quds University has become – under the
leadership of Sari Nusseibeh – the Jerusalem headquarters for the
PLO/PA (Palestinian Authority), preoccupying itself with the organization
of anti-Israel rallies, anti-Israel propaganda, illegal construction
in order to "stop the Judaization of Jerusalem," support
of families of Palestinian terrorists, the repartitioning of Jerusalem
and other illegal activities.
But, Sari Nusseibeh is a man of peace…
NUSSEIBEH HAS BECOME A POLISHED EDITION OF THE LATE FEISAL HUSSEINI,
who has been exposed by the Orient House Archive as a corrupt leader,
a supporter of terrorism, instigator of violence, agitator of Israeli
Arabs, violator of the law, who considered the Oslo Accord to be
the Palestinian Trojan Horse, hauled by Israel into Jerusalem, thus
causing the demise of the Jewish State.
But, Sari Nusseibeh is supposedly a man of peace…
Israeli and Western supporters of Sari Nusseibeh applauded the Oslo
Accords in 1993, heralded Arafat as a worthy Nobel Laureate in 1994,
and fiercely opposed the closure of Feisal Husseini’s Orient House
in 2001. Rather than learning from their own devastating errors
of judgment, they have systematically repeated their mistakes, thus
exacerbating an explosive reality, boosting the maneuverability
of Palestinian terrorists and undermining the prospects for peace.
Their continued support of Sari Nusseibeh and other leaders of the
terrorist PLO/PA, who pose as men of peace, precludes the emergence
of an alternative peaceful Palestinian leadership.
