HISTORY 103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Palestine Liberation Organization, Palestinian National Covenant, Palestinian Diaspora
Document Summary
Outline: the plo and palestinian resistance to 1982. Popular front for the liberation of palestine (pflp) For 10 years after the 6 day war, the labor party offered to return most of the seized territories in exchange for peace and recognition, but no arab government would take the offer. In the mid 1970"s, two new developments destroyed any lingering hopes o. The plo displaced the conservative elites and the jordanian throne as the spokesmen for palestinians. Their ideology was far from compromising, but committed to israel"s removal o. In 1977, the right wing party, the lichud, replaced the labor party in israel. They planned to keep all of the territories. In lieu of the labor vision of compromise, both of these new parties carried a winner- take-all attitude. The lichud did not talk about ethnically cleansing the territories as the plo did. They fought each other for 15 years from 1977-1992.
