A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on February 3, 2005. |
To-do list for Palestine Liberation Organization: Rectify the PLO page with the PLO EC page. The PLO page says 15 people are elected to the PLO EC. The PLO EC page says 18 people. In the Palestine Liberation Organization article, an author named Smith is quoted twice. Can you tell me the author's full name and the work cited? Thanks and regards, Richard Herman

Citation Needed - Citation Found (Paragraph Lebanon and the Lebanese Civil War)
[edit]https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09592296.2022.2062127 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." and: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-189673/ (UN Security Council [UNSC], S/11940 (23 January 1976).) --Koma Kulshan (talk) 11:13, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
It must not be omitted though, that this draft only states, what Israel has to do (it only states that Israel has to retreat to the borders of June 1967 and that Israel has to accept Palestinians returning to their homes or to compensate them. It doesn't mention compensation for the Massacre of Hebron in 1929 for example) --Koma Kulshan (talk) 11:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- 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)
Discrepancy in founded date
[edit]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. Dotyoyo (talk) 12:45, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Listed sources not verifying the content for the Infobox.
[edit]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)
The PFLP-GC is back in the PLO
[edit]According to the PLO's website, the PFLP-GC has returned to the PLO. Do I need additional sources to verify this before I update the article? Charles Essie (talk) 16:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Links with the Algerian National Liberation Front
[edit]Not one mention of this, either in ideology, history, strategy or tactics in this article. Worth noting that sheer dereliction of duty by ‘historians’ by not even mentioning the word ‘Algeria’ in this article.
I’m happy to write up a new section over the weekend about both the deep and complicated links between the PLO and NLF, but also the way that the PLO as a model of Palestinian ‘resistance’ modelled itself on the Algerian resistance, despite the vast differences betetween the Pied Noirs and Israeli Jews, e.g. that while the Pied Noirs had somewhere to go, Israeli Jews do not.
If someone else would like to pre-empty my weekend addition, by all means go ahead. If nobody does, the necessary historical information will be added this weekend under a new subsection.
