Are you really that ignorant of the situation ?
Yasser Arafat and the PLO accepted Israels right to exist over a decade ago !!
This was formally confirmed when Arafat exchanged letters of PLO-Israel
recognition with the Yitzhak Rabin in 1993.

See http://www.earlham.edu/~pss/yasser_arafat.htm

More sayings of Chairman Arafat, *after* he "accepted" Israel's
right to exist...

Newspaper interview, Al-Quds, May 10, 1998:

Question: Do you feel sometimes that you made a mistake in
agreeing to Oslo?

Arafat: No... no. Allah's messenger Mohammad accepted the
al-Khudaibiya peace treaty and Salah a-Din accepted the peace
agreement with Richard the Lion-Hearted."

[Note: Salah a-Din (Saladin) was the Muslim leader who, after
a cease-fire, declared a jihad against the Crusaders and
captured Jerusalem]

Richard was only involved in the third crusade which occurred after
Saladin had captured Jerusalem.
I'd think that Arafat was referring to the treaty of Ramia in 1192.
Saladin died in 1193 not long after Richard's departure.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saladin

Saladin's descendant al-Kamil gave the city to the Holy Roman Emperor
Frederick II in 1228. It was then conquered by the Khawarizmi Turks in 1244 who
were then replaced by the Mamelukes in 1260. The city was then conquered by the
Ottoman Turks in 1517 who maintained control until the 20th Century.

My colleagues in struggle and in arms, my colleagues in

intifada. Reinforce the strong stance and strengthen the faith.
We must burn the ground under the feet of the invaders.

with Arab and Islamic assistance, this shall be our faithful

of Judaization and the Zionist plot."
