PLO Statement
Continued from Page 1
Chicago, said it represents
just one opinion.
"It's a single voice and does
not reflect the position of the
PLO," Fox said.
Local Palestinians disagree.
Although PLO Chief Yassir
Arafat has not issued any
public comment on the Abu
Sharif statement, Palesti-
nians here are confident the
views it espouses are those of
the PLO leader.
"You can be sure Abu
Sharif does not speak without
authority and without having
consulted with Mr. Arafat,"
said Livonia resident Jack
Friej, who was born in
Ramallah.
Anan Ameri Jabara, na-
tional president of the
Palestine Aid Society, also
said the statement reflects
the views of the PLO.
Jabara said that since 1974,
the PLO has stated its sup-
port for a two-state solution —
a position she is confident the
organization will not retract.
While Jabara said the
statement does not contain a
new PLO stance, it is the first
time the PLO's views have
been spelled out on paper, she
said.
She believes it was issued in
response to such factors as the
uprisings in the West Bank
and Gaza Strip, the Middle
East initiative of Secretary of
State George Shultz and
radical, right-wing voices in
Israel moving away from a
possible reconciliation. She
also suggested Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev's pressure
on Arafat to recognize Israel
may have had some influence.
Like Jabara, Isa Hasan said
Abu Sharif's statement con-
tains "the long-standing posi-
tion of the PLO. It's
documented that the PLO
does recognize U.N. Resolu-
tions 242 and 338 and this
statement is, in a way, a
recognition of the State of
Israel."
"The PLO has always been
ready to negotiate a peaceful
settlement," Freij added.
"But this has gone on deaf
ears. A violent confrontation
as a solution is not on the
PLO's agenda?'
Wasa Salah, who was born
in Nablus, called the state-
ment "nothing new. Arafat
has always been willing to
recognize Israel. That is not
the problem. The problem is
that Israel doesn't even
recognize the Palestinian peo-
ple as a people?'
Last week, the Abu Sharif
statement ran into stiff op-
position when five PLO fac-
tions, including the Popular
Front for the Liberation of
Palestine, condemned Abu
Sharif and called for his trial
by a Palestinian court.
Press Consul Fox said this
further illustrates his asser-
tion that the statement
belongs to Abu Sharif alone.
Palestinians in Detroit label-
ed the condemnation in-
evitable, but said it would
carry little weight.
"That is to be expected,"
Hasan said. "In every group
there are extremes."
Freij added, "You can
always find someone who will
not be happy with the situa-
tion. But they'll have to ac-
cept it eventually."
"Does all the government
agree with what Shamir
says?" Salah asked. "The
PLO is democratic. There
may be factions that don't
agree but in the PLO, the ma-
jority rules. And the majority
of Palestinians trust the PLO
to negotiate for us?'
None of the local Palesti-
nians said they back the
voices of dissent.
"For the sake of humanity
I agree with the (Abu Sharif)
statement 100 percent," Freij
said.
Hasan added, "In my
estimation, the great majori-
ty of Palestinians all over the
world do stand behind the
statement:'
Israel also must accept it,
the Palestinians said.
Although they differed on
how to advance the peace pro-
cess, all agreed it is up to
Israel to make the next move.
Friej advocates negotiations
between Israel and the PLO.
"Israel," he said, "should now
go directly to the PLO and
say, 'Let's talk: "
Friej also sees a strong role
for American Jews in advan-
cing the peace process. "The
key to the problem is not the
politicians in Washington or
Israel," he said. "They key is
in the American Jewish
population's hands. Without
U.S. Jewish moral support,
the politicians in Israel would
not act like they do. If
American Jews show them
the way, they'll go that way."
Palestine Aid Society Presi-
dent Jabara said Israel must
recognize the PLO as the
Palestinians' spokesman.
"We must have the right to
choose our own represen-
tative," she said. "We will not
have Israel dictate who
speaks for us:'
Like Freij and Jabara,
Salah believes in direct
negotiations between Israel
and the Palestinians. She said
Israel must first recognize the
existence of the Palestinian
people, then initiate talks
with the PLO.
"The Palestinians are ready
to live in peace," she said. "We
are tired of all this war.
Nobody wants to suffer and
die?'
