Original Title: "A servant of two masters"
-- a documented, scandalous iceberg of tit-for-tat relations that existed for years between a number of countries and leaders of the various Palestinian groups
In his book "Red
Horizons: The True Story of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescus' Crimes,
Lifestyle, and Corruption," the former chief of Romania's foreign
intelligence, Ion Mihai Pacepa, covers the tortuous intelligence ties
between Palestine Liberation Organization founder Yasser Arafat and
former Romanian president Nicolae Ceausescu.
The revealing book,
which Pacepa wrote after defecting to the U.S., does not skip over
reports of cooperation and sensational revelations about the
relationship between Arafat and his chief bodyguard, as exposed by his
host nation's spy network.
This was the tip of a
documented, scandalous iceberg of tit-for-tat relations that existed for
years between a number of countries and leaders of the various
Palestinian groups, which were characterized by those countries
exploiting the Palestinians' murderous desires and directing their goals
and efforts beyond terrorist attacks against Israel, toward undermining
each other using Palestinian terrorists-for-hire.
Supposedly, the leaders
of the Palestinian terrorist organizations were operating in the name
of "the Palestinian problem." Actually, they were operating out of greed
and careerist considerations, quite the opposite of the Palestinian
people's declared goals of "liberation and self-determination." This is
the sick evil that has accompanied the Palestinians' failed attempts to
reach self-determination.
For years, Arab leaders
cynically used the slogan of fighting Israel as a call to unite the
ranks and funnel the anger of the masses. That claim was even the basis
for paternalistic ties between "socialist" governing parties in Arab
states (such as Baath in Syria and Iraq) and leaders of Palestinian
terrorist groups such as the Palestinian Arab Front, the Saaqa (Popular
Liberation Forces), Abu Musa (Fatah al-Intifada), and others who acted
as these groups' agents. Similar relations were forged by traditional
Islamic states in the Persian Gulf, such as Qatar, which supported the
Balad party, Hamas, the Islamic Movement, and Islamic terrorist
organizations worldwide as part of its internal security interests and
regional foreign policy.
This operating
principle, which used Palestinian terrorist groups as contractors to
carry out foreign goals, existed between revisionist communist states --
first and foremost the former Soviet Union -- and leaders of the
Palestinian rejectionist organizations. This was the period in which
current Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his "dinosaur"
cronies were reaching out to various countries and spy agencies.
Indeed, acting on
behalf of these masters, the Palestinians supplied spy services against
their brothers and against the states that took them in, as well as
global subversion and terrorism, unrelated to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict. In return, Palestinian soldiers of fortune got a package deal
that included shelter, false documents, freedom of movement, military
training, weapons, money, medical treatment, and bribes -- even faked
doctorates, like the one Abbas has, on delusional and false subjects,
such as denial of the Holocaust.
The Arab Spring brought
down the house of cards and the regional catastrophe caused the
Palestinian terrorists to fall from grace. There is a good reason why,
with the PA municipal elections drawing near, Abbas is being accused of
being a Bahai and a spy for the KGB, and Mohammed Dahlan is trying to
oust him and run for PA president himself. Dahlan has been condemned by
Abbas' people as corrupt and a spy for the CIA, and his camp returned
fire by accusing Abbas of a surprising willingness to meet with Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the backing of his "master," Russian
President Vladimir Putin.
The Bible described
Ishmael as one whose "hand shall be against everyone and everyone's hand
against him" (Genesis 16:12) and in the end, the Palestinians will
blame this too on Israel.
