Credits: IDF/ISA Palestinians way ahead of Obama on statehood strategy, say experts · By <http://www.examiner.com/user-copmagazine> Jim Kouri, Law Enforcement Examiner Palestinian Authority officials initiated a full-court press propaganda campaign months before they came to New York City this week to request the United Nation recognize the Palestinian people and their territories as an independent nation. Contrary to what is being said by President Barack Obama's supporters -- who claimed on Wednesday that Obama dropped everything to appear at the U.N. in support of the Israel -- the President, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other members of Obama's administration knew about the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' plans to appear before the United Nations General Assembly to plead his case for statehood well before September. The propaganda campaign was common knowledge within the White House, but Obama and his minions chose to ignore it and Abbas' U.N. plan. The campaign was intended to show internal Palestinian support for the move to statehood, strengthen international support and calm Jewish apprehensions by downplaying the issue of the "right of return" issue that continues to be a sticking point for both sides. "The U.S. intelligence community and police counterterrorism units were aware of the Palestinians' plans to bypass peace talks and U.S. intervention by going directly to the U.N. It's no secret in the Middle East that President Obama is a weak but calculating politician with no real experience in matters of war, diplomacy and geopolitics," said former intelligence officer and police detective Sid Franes. "Obama's U.N. performance was just that -- a performance created to strengthen his popularity with Jews in the U.S. before the 2012 election. It was just another campaign stop for Obama's re-election, plain and simple," said Det. Franes. The propaganda campaign was reinforced by broad and potentially violent popular activities, even though the Palestinians planned to moderate the events. The appeal played out on the background of the recent break-in to the Israeli embassy in Cairo and Turkey's inflammatory declarations regarding last year's Free Gaza Flotilla. On September 8, the Palestinian Authority launched their campaign calling it "Palestine: State Number 194" to support its appeal to the UN, with the theme of "statehood recognition." The campaign began with a communiqué to the UN Secretary General sent through the U.N. representative in Ramallah. According to the Israeli counterterrorism group, The Meir Amit, on September 9 and 10 demonstrations (of between dozens and several hundred demonstrators) were held at the usual friction points in Judea and Samaria. Further demonstrations and popular protests continued throughout the Palestinian Authority territories and among Palestinian communities abroad, although passion ran high and Palestinian protesters began to burn Israeli and American flags. The campaign is supposed to last for three weeks. It began on September 8 (with a low profile) and is expected to peak on September 21 and 23, with the opening session of the General Assembly and a speech by Mahmoud Abbas, respectively, and continue until the end of September. During those three weeks propaganda events will be held in the Palestinian Authority, the Arab world -- where the Israeli embassy in Jordan may be a focus of demonstrations -- and abroad especially in the United States and Britain. While the campaign went as planned in the West Bank, it met with difficulties in the Gaza Strip because of Hamas' ideological reservations concerning the Palestinian Authority appeal to the UN, according to The Meir Amit. A former United States police officer now living and working in Israel -- under condition of anonymity -- told the Law Enforcement Examiner that the campaign's objectives are to demonstrate internal Palestinian and international support for the UN move and at the same time to remove the international community's apprehensions regarding its inherent dangers by providing a response to the claims against the U.N. move raised by Israel. The campaign issued a call for activity by non-Muslims. Demonstrations are being organized throughout the United States, the most important of which will be held in New York City. Other cities will include Omaha, organized by Katie Huerter from a network called Nebraskans for Peace. San Francisco pro-Palestinian campaign is organized by Code Pink -- whose leader Jodie Evans (Davis) worked for Obama's presidential campaign and California Governor Jerry Brown's campaign -- and the Palestinian Solidarity Movement. In Washington, DC, a demonstration is planned near the State Department building, and from there the demonstrators will march to the White House. The demonstrations will call on the United States not to support Israel. A network called Stop US Aid to Israel will participate in the demonstration, according to the Law Enforcement Examiner source. An attempt is also being made to appease Israeli public opinion by a direct appeal to important figures and the United States' Jewish population. According to The Meir Amit, in order to achieve their goals the following themes were emphasized by high-ranking figures in the Palestinian Authority and by the Palestinian media: 1) The Palestinian Authority is determined to go ahead with its appeal to the UN to gain UN recognition of a Palestinian state regardless of the pressures against it. 2) The objective of the move is for the UN to recognize a Palestinian state as the 194th member nation, with the June 4, 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital. 3) Recognition of a Palestinian state as the 194th member state of the UN does not negate the legitimacy of the State of Israel, is not meant to isolate it and is not part of the campaign to delegitimize it. 4) The Palestinian move in the UN is not a replacement for negotiations but rather an additional effort and supplements the foundation of the "two-state solution," and will give the negotiations a push forward in the "right direction." There is no contradiction between the appeal to the UN and a return to negotiations if Israel fulfills its commitments. 5) The move does not pose a danger to Israel's security. The protests will be nonviolent. The security coordination between the PA's security forces and Israel will continue with no relation to the appeal to the UN. <http://www.examiner.com/law-enforcement-in-national/jim-kouri> Description: Description: Jim Kouri's photo <http://www.examiner.com/law-enforcement-in-national/jim-kouri> Jim Kouri , Law Enforcement Examiner [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
