Israel’s Vice Prime Minister Peres Approves Provision of “Light Weapons” to an Entity at War With Israel.

On December 8th, 1993, then Israel Deputy Foreign Minister Yose Beilin conducted a briefing for the foreign press,in which he said that Israel was going to “experiment” with the idea of providing arms for the PLO, in order that they may “fight terror”. This was based on the assumption that the PLO would ratify the declaration of principles for peace – the D.O.P. -and cancel the PLO covenant of.

“And if the PL0 would use these guns to murder Israelis instead”, a reporter asked. “Then we would see that the experiment did not work”, Beilin replied.

12 years later, following more than 1300 Israeli citizens murdered in cold blood, it would seem that the experiment did not work.

Yet Clause Five of the 2004 “disengagement plan” of the government of Israel mandates that Israel once again train the Palestinian Security Forces, despite the fact that the Palestinian Authority recently honored 600 members of the Palestinian Security Forces who had died while conducting terrorist attacks against Israel ever since Israel began to supply the Palestinian Security Forces with guns.

It is one thing for a government to conduct an experiment, however lethal. You can always give the government the benefit of the doubt, until the experiment could be declared to be a failure.

It is quite another thing to proceed with the same lethal experiment, after it has failed.

Meanwhile, the PLO remains at war with Israel. The PLO covenant was never cancelled and The”D.O,P.” was never ratified.

Yet now the implementation of clause five of the “disengagement plan” for Israel to once again supply weapons to the PLO has become a reality.

Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres, the architect of the Oslo process, confirmed on the Voice of Israel radio newsreel Friday news program that Israel would indeed provide guns to the PLO.
