Maen R Arekiat: No Jews Today and Tomorrow

Remember Maen Rashid Areikat, the representative of the Palestinian Liberation Organization to the United States?

No?

Well, besides being a liar, he was interviewed by USA Today saying "no Jews allowed in 'Palestine'" that was later either denied or fudged.

Well, he's back and you know what, he still doesn't like Jews in his neighborhood as he told the Chicago Sun-Times-


Hundreds of thousands of Jews live in communities in the disputed West Bank territories. To Israelis, the West Bank is known as Judea and Samaria, reflecting its crucial role in the ancient and modern history of the Jewish people. If a peace settlement is ever reached — a big if given the history of Palestinian intransigence — could some Jews living in the West Bank choose to opt to remain and pursue their lives under a new Palestinian state?

No, according to Maen Rashid Areikat, the representative of the Palestinian Liberation Organization to the United States. In a recent meeting with the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board, he condemned the Jewish residents of the West Bank — he put the number at 550,000 — as unlawful settlers and declared that all of them must leave as part of any Israeli-Palestinian settlement.

Areikat did acknowledge that a settlement would involve “minor” land swaps that could incorporate some of the communities in Israel. And he did say that at some point in the future, Jews might live in a new Palestinian state.

But a settlement would require Jews living in the Palestinian-governed West Bank to leave. In other words, a peace deal will be followed by ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, where Jewish history is measured in millennia and where Jews had lived before being expelled in the Arab world’s 1948 war to destroy Israel...

Actually, is that a pun?  That "a settlement would require Jews living in the Palestinian-governed West Bank to leave"?

Remind me, who is practicing apartheid in our region?
