H.E. [His Excellency] met several Palestinian figures such as martyr Abu Jihad and martyr Abu Eiad and discussed with them the establishment of the Palestine National Liberation Movement 'Fateh'. Later, H.E. went back to Palestine to meet a group of Palestinian activists and announce the launching of the Fateh movement on the 1st of Jan 1965. âŠ" "H.E. led the platoons of the Liberation Movement at 'El-Karama Battle' in 1968 to a tremendous victory over the Israeli army assisted by the Arab Jordanian army. President Arafat was elected chairman of The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1969 as the third chairman of the organization after: Ahmad El-Shuqairi and Yahya Hamoudeh. H.E. is still chairman of the Executive Committee of Palestine Liberation Organization. "Aftermath, September 1970 events of Jordan, the President left to Beirut and stayed there till 1982. For three months of severe blockade of Lebanon by the Israeli army, the Palestinian militants showed high efficiency and capability of steadfastness and insistence to liberate Palestine. The President left Beirut and headed to Tunisia. The Palestinian uprising (Intifada) broke out in 1987 as a natural result of Israeli occupation pressures on the Palestinian territories. The President directed all the Palestinian people's capabilities to support the Intifada... And lots more! |

| #7 âFor three months of severe blockade of Lebanon by the Israeli army, the Palestinian militants showed high efficiency and capability of steadfastness and insistence to liberate Palestine.â Before the UN intervened and allowed them to flee to Tunisia. IMHO we should have let the Israelis destroy them when they were in Lebanon. |

| #3 ""H.E. led the platoons of the Liberation Movement at 'El-Karama Battle' in 1968 to a tremendous victory over the Israeli army assisted by the Arab Jordanian army." That would be the "Glorious Retreat from Jerusalem"? Or the "Ass Kicked Out of Samaria Advance in the Opposite Direction"? |
