From Ian Lyons (via Alexis Worlock):

"In 1964, the then Soviet Union, and more specifically the KGB, invented the 'Palestinian People' and created the 'Palestine Liberation Organisation' with an Egyptian, Yasser Arafat, as its head. The skill in marketing and selling this fictitious enterprise, however, lay not with the Russians, but with the North Vietnamese.

Arafat was a great admirer of Ho Chi Min's success in mobilising left-wing sympathisers in the West, where activists on university campuses enthusiasticall y followed his propaganda line in reframing a Communist assault on the south into a struggle for liberation. Arafat sat down with Ho's chief strategist, General Giap,
who told him that in order to succeed, he needed to conceal his real goals, and give the appearance of moderation.

"Stop talking about annihilating Israel and start talking about your struggle for human rights - then you will have the American people eating out of your hand."

Arafat then took advice from Muhammad Yazid, the Algerian Information Minister, who told him that he needed to wipe out the argument that Israel is a small state whose existence is threatened by the Arab states, and to present the 'Palestinian struggle' as a struggle for liberation. Turn the Jews from the victims into the aggressors and present the 'Palestinians' as the victims who had had their country 'stolen'.

It worked - and how it worked. By the time he died, Arafat had the blood of thousands of innocent Jews on his hands and billions of dollars stashed in his personal bank accounts.

Most significantly, 57 years on, there are still countless useful idiots playing dead on campuses across the US and Europe, with chants of 'Free Palestine' ringing in the air."
