| | Palestinian territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Palestinian territories are geographic areas in the Middle East captured by Israel in the Six-day War of 1967 whose status is pending the conclusion of negotiations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. | | | Third, the Palestinians argue that their claims to the land would be much more amenable were it not for Israel's establishing of "facts on the ground" since 1967, which included land confiscation and building of Jewish settlements or separation barriers on land previously owned by Palestinians and making these lands off-limits to them. | | | ("Possession is nine-tenths of the law") The Palestinians counter this claim by saying that Israel is controlling the territories unjustly by denying its residents the right to self-determination, and some deny the validity of the Israeli nation entirely. |

| | Most of the conference's members belonged to the main Palestinian organizations, most importantly the Palestine Liberation Organization led by Yasser Arafat, but some were members of smaller organizations believed responsible for terrorist operations against Israelis and Americans, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. | | | Among the criticisms leveled against Said by Jews and others was his failure to condemn specific acts of terrorism by Palestinian groups, including some that served alongside him on the Palestine National Council. | | | Although he deplored terror attacks by Palestinians, he also argued that important Israeli leaders, like former Prime Ministers Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, had been terrorists responsible for the killing of women and children. |

| | Following the principle of "Greater Syria," the organization adopted a pan-Arab ideology, namely: "Palestine must by liberated, but there is no justification for the establishment of a separate Palestinian state in the liberated territory." According to the organization, "The Palestinian people is a meaningless term which serves to attack Israel politically." | | | In late 1968, Ahmed Jibril, a former Syrian engineering corps officer, left the "Habash Front." He and his companions established a new organization--the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine--General Command (PFLP-GC), and made commitment to armed struggle against Israel their motto. | | | Because of its opposition to any compromise with Israel, the leadership of the "Habash Front" has often found itself cooperating with Syria and the pro-Syrian organizations in the diplomatic and military domains. |
