Quote: "Curiously omitted from this debate is the PLO’s striking decision to support a January 1976 draft United Nations [UN] Security Council resolution explicitly calling for a two-state settlement along June 1967 borders, an initiative ultimately killed by an American veto."

replies: text: Why don't the Palestinians come out & put the blame on Hamas for starting all this killing? I remember when PLO went around highjacking airliners to bring publicity to their issue. I have no sympathy for any of you since Arafat passed you have gone back to your terrorist idealisms. YOU WILL NEVER BE RECOGNIZED AS CIVIL PEOPLE UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IN PEACE! 2600:1702:5B80:7530:C07C:BABC:1A0:3C89 (talk) 19:32, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation Needed - Citation Found (Paragraph Lebanon and the Lebanese Civil War) 

message: hello, 
this sentence needs an immideate update!:
"and now only seeks Arab statehood in the Palestinian territories (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) that have been militarily occupied by Israel since the 1967 Arab–Israeli War"
please ADD the fact that: Israel had taken out it's Military forces from the Gaza strip on 2005.
it happend in the "Israeli disengagement from Gaza" - you have a topic about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_Gaza. 147.235.196.59 (talk) 13:11, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done. The majority of sources regard Gaza as occupied regardless of the Israeli disengagement. Selfstudier (talk) 13:16, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I would argue that the sources in that article are outdated and inaccurate today. However, for the purposes of THIS article, it would be far easier to avoid debate entirely by making the clearer and more specific statement that the PLO "now only seeks Arab statehood along pre-1967 borders."

thread_title:  Update - Isral had left Gaza in 2005 

message: This article contains two citations to "Smith, op. cit.,", but never expands on the precise book being cited or which Smith wrote it. I tracked down the edit that added these and it is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Palestine_Liberation_Organization&diff=prev&oldid=10734671. As you can see, these citations came from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_Civil_War page, where the citations are appropriately attributed to:
Charles D. Smith, Palestine and the Arab Israeli Conflict
Could someone add this source into the first of these two citations?
* Smith, op. cit., p. 357 
* Smith, op. cit., 376
Additionally, could someone add to the Bibliography section:
* Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict, fourth edition, Charles D. Smith (2001) (ISBN 0-312-20828-6) (paperback)

thread_title:  I found a missing source -- can someone with edit privileges for this article add it for me? 

message: The infobox gives a founding date of 28 May 1964, yet the "Founding" section gives the date 2 June 1964. Could someone resolve this discrepancy? I suspect that the organization was planned in May, and went into effect in June, which I believe would make its founding date 2 June 1964.

thread_title:  Discrepancy in founded date 

message: I investigated some of the sources and contents of the "ideologies" segment in the infobox and found some of the entries are not supported by the stated sources. For "Secularism" in the ideology segment, this book is listed as a source. The linked page doesn't make any mention of what one would expect to find there and given sentences in the article like "Under President Arafat, the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority adopted the 2003 Amended Basic Law, which stipulates Islam as the sole official religion in Palestine and the principles of Islamic sharia as a principal source of legislation", it seems very strange to claim that this group had any secularist agenda. Searching for Secularism in this book lists two book titles in footnootes and one mention of the French revolution. In a similar manner, the listed source for the mention of "antiimperialism" simply doesn't support this. The same applies for the mentioning of "Marxist". While i couldn't access the whole page in the listed source, i'm highly sure that it refers to the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine which actually appears to Marxist-Leninist. I therefore suggest removing "Marxist", "Anticolonial" and "Secularist" from the infobox in accordance with WP:Verifiability. -- Liberaler Humanist (talk) 07:42, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
