Dear Mr. Jason Greenblatt,

This is in response to your statement today

“Jason Greenblatt: I Think We Could Put Forth a Palestinian State that Does Not Endanger Israel’s Security” – Jerusalem Post, June 26, 2020″

The Arabs whom the US government have entrusted to establish a Palestinian State remain loyal to the PLO, the Palestine Liberation Organization, which remains in a state of war with Israel, which has never ratified the Declaration of Principles of Peace from the Oslo accords, and which has never cancelled the PLO Charter of war with Israel.

Please consider the effort that our think tank has taken to film and document PLO education over the past 20 years.

We initiated this study, because the panacea of the peace process was supposed to occur when the PLO would print its own school books.

For that reason, we met Arafat and asked to examine new PLO school books when they would be issued on August 1, 2000, with updates every few years.

That permission was granted and we have engaged Arab and Jewish experts ever since to carry out this comprehensive inquiry.

We have examined every school book which the PLO uses and supplies to UNRWA.

Our conclusion, after twenty years:

The PLO has radically transformed their schools into war indoctrination centers.

The US peace plan would bolster that very school system.

In that context, please reconsider your statement that an independent Palestinian state would convey no endanger to Israel.
