The PLO: Background Briefing

We are assembling documents and information about the Palestine Liberation Organization and other terrorist groups. New materials will be added as they become available.


Now available:

  • Who’s Who among Palestinian Terror Groups. A brief background with official emblems from the PLO and Hamas through the PFLP, PFLP-GC, DFLP, etc.

  • The PLO Charter. The full text of this infamous document which negates Israel’s right to exist and calls for its destruction through violence.

  • As the independent watchdog group Peace Watch has explained, the PLO’s vote on 24 April 1996 did not satisfy its legal obligation to amend the Charter; it merely expressed an intention to do so at some future date, and it set up a committee to discuss it. It remains to be seen how much, if any, of the Charter will be repealed, not to mention what new clauses will replace it.

  • The Phased Plan for Israel’s destruction. The current Israel-PLO agreements fit in perfectly with the PLO’s master plan for eliminating Israel. The full text of the 1974 resolution is here, along with comments demonstrating its continued relevance.
