ZOA Action Alert - Call Your US House Member in Congress to Support Blunt/Berkley US House Resolution

ZOA ACTION ALERT

Urgent: Call Your U.S. House Member in Congress to Support Blunt/Berkley
U.S. House Resolution Calling On Mahmoud Abbas To Abrogate His Fatah Party's
Constitution Calling For Terror & Israel's "Demolition"

To Friends of Israel Around America:

U.S. House Republican Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) and U.S. Congresswoman Shelley
Berkley (D-NV) have demonstrated robust leadership in introducing a
ZOA-supported resolution ( H.Res.758), which urges Palestinian Authority
(PA) president Mahmoud Abbas, who is also leader of the Fatah party, to
officially abrogate the 10 articles in the Fatah Constitution
http://web.archive.org/web/20070607150221/www.fateh.net/e_public/constitution.htm
which call for Israel's destruction and terrorism against Israel, oppose any
political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and label Zionism as
racism. The ZOA has repeatedly called for Abbas to rescind Fatah's
Constitution.

The Fatah Constitution has never been amended and remains in force to this
day; it calls for the "demolition" of Israel (Article 12); the use of
terrorism as an indispensable part of the strategy to obtain that goal
(Article 19); condemns Zionism as racist (Article 7); calls on countries to
prevent Jews from moving to Israel (Article 25); and opposes any political
solution whatsoever (Article 22). Unsurprisingly, since September 2000,
Fatah has been responsible for as many murders of Israelis as Hamas.

Below is a list of 10 articles in the Fatah Constitution which are
incompatible with peace-making and Israel's existence:

Article (22): "Opposing any political solution offered as an alternative to
demolishing the Zionist occupation in Palestine, as well as any project
intended to liquidate the Palestinian cause or impose any international
mandate on its people."
Article (12): "Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist
economic, political, military, and cultural existence.
Article (19): "Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the
Palestinian Arab People's armed revolution is a decisive factor in the
liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle
will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is
completely liberated."
Article (17): "Armed public revolution is the inevitable method to
liberating Palestine."
Article (23): "Maintaining relations with Arab countries ... with the
provision that the armed struggle is not negatively affected."
Article (8): "The Israeli existence in Palestine is a Zionist invasion with
a colonial expansive base, and it is a natural ally to colonialism and
international imperialism."
Article (7): "The Zionist Movement is racial, colonial, and aggressive in
ideology, goals, organization, and method."
Article (24): "Maintaining relations with all liberal forces supporting our
just struggle in order to resist together Zionism and imperialism."
Article (4): "The Palestinian struggle is part and parcel of the world-wide
struggle against Zionism, colonialism, and international imperialism."
Article (25): "Convincing concerned countries in the world to prevent Jewish
immigration to Palestine as a method of solving the problem."

It is vital that Members of the House know that the Berkley/Blunt resolution
is important and strongly supported by the American public. We urge you to
call your Member of Congress explaining why the Berkley/Blunt resolution
deserves their strong support.

You might like to make the following points:

Peace cannot be achieved between two parties when one side is committed to
the destruction of the other. The Fatah Constitution clearly shows that
Abbas' Fatah-controlled PA is not committed to a genuine peace settlement
with Israel.

Concessions should never be made until and unless the other side has clearly
demonstrated a strong and sincere desire to live in peace. The Fatah
Constitution proves the very opposite of Abbas and Fatah.

Fatah has been as involved in the terrorist war on Israel as Hamas. Both
groups have murdered over 500 Israelis each since the start of the
Palestinian terror wave in September 2000. Revoking its Constitution is only
the first step and the very least that must be expected of Fatah before
being engaged in negotiations.

President Bush was right to say that we need to end terrorist states. We
dare not create a new one in the Middle East. That objective will be
subverted if rewards and concessions are made the Fatah-controlled PA before
it renounces its Constitution.

President Bush is proposing giving the PA $410 million in U.S. taxpayer
funded aid. We dare not give them a cent until they renounce this
Constitution.
