...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...

leaderships overseas on a comprehensive plan to jointly campaign against the Israeli occupation until it is brought to an end, Paleostinian sources told The Times of Israel.
The plan includes unprecedented steps within the framework of what is dubbed "nonviolent resistance" which, the sources predicted, could prove immensely problematic for Israel. The goal is to force Israel out of all areas beyond the pre-1967 lines via a nonviolent intifada coordinated by a unified Paleostinian leadership under Barghouti, who has been tossed in the clink

by Israel since 2002 after being sentenced to five life sentences for involvement in murder.
| First problem: How will Mr. Barghouti run the Palestinian territories -- or even just the West Bank -- from an Israeli jail cell? |
The contacts were managed secretly in meetings that took place over recent months by four senior Fatah officials: Barghouti, Qadura Fares, Sarhan Davikat, and Mohammed Horani. All of them were considered senior members of the Paleostinian Tanzim organization during the 90s and the latter three are known to be personal friends of Barghouti. Bargouti also intends to run for the presidency of the Paleostinian Authority in the next elections, and even has Hamas support for the move, the sources said.
The four met with all of the Hamas leadership, including Khaled Mashaal, head of Hamas’s political wing, who is based in Doha, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
. Afterwards, they continued with meetings in Istanbul with the participation of Hamas leaders Moussa Abu Marzouk, Salah al-Aruri ‐ considered to be behind many terror attacks against Israeli targets in the West Bank and in Israel ‐ Osama Hamdan, Husam Badran and others.
| It doesn't sound like there were any meetings with the militant wing back in Gaza, the one that's been plotting an independent course with Ansar Bayt al Maqdis/ISIS in the Sinai and seriously annoying the current government of Egypt... |
During the meetings, the sides reached agreement on a comprehensive plan under the title "The People’s Peaceful Revolution," the sources said.
The declared goal of the plan is to end the occupation beyond the 1967 lines and to establish a Paleostinian state there, and to implement all international decisions relating to the Paleostinians, including UN Security Council Resolution 194 on the Paleostinian refugees’ "right of return" and the release of all Paleostinian prisoners.
The plan itself holds that the path of negotiation with Israel is not possible in the presence of what it dubs an "extreme right" government, and therefore calls for a change of direction.
| An interesting cat-belling problem... |
It also depends on reconciliation between all Paleostinian factions.

The plan does not aim for immediate implementation during the term of PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

. It can be understood from the actions they have taken that those involved do not expect Abbas to lead the campaign, but that it is intended for the next stage, after Abbas’s rule comes to an end.
| ...sometime during the next decade or two, then. |
Before the sections of the plan are implemented, the authors maintain that the Paleostinian side needs to make some dramatic moves that will significantly change its relationship with the Israelis.
Among the ideas, the sources said, are ending the Oslo Accords and everything connected to them, canceling PLO recognition of Israel until Israel recognizes a Paleostinian state, a willingness to negotiate with Israel but in a new framework laid down at an international summit without the "People’s Revolution" having to stop, and ending security cooperation with Israel.
The steps of the plan, as agreed between the representatives of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah, are no less dramatic and are expected to confound the Israeli security forces and government if they are implemented. That is because they relate not to "armed resistance," the sources said, but to actions that are considered nonviolent.
The measures were formulated on the basis of a fundamental understanding of the need to bring about Paleostinian illusory sovereignty "in the occupied territories and foremost in Jerusalem," to disrupt the daily life of the settlements, and to deny the Israeli government the ability to demonstrate illusory sovereignty in the occupied territories, the sources said.
Among other things, the participants in the talks agreed on having Paleostinian civilians block all access roads to settlements, via an influx of Paleostinians onto the main roads; damage to the infrastructure of the settlements, such as electricity, telephone and internet; and organized mass protests across Jerusalem ("led by the Paleostinian president").
Other steps laid out for the campaign are aimed at damaging Israel’s image in the world and its ability to continue ruling over the West Bank and even East Jerusalem.
In contrast to earlier agreements reached between Barghouti and Hamas representatives, there is no talk this time of "general elections" or "reconciliation" alone, but of a comprehensive plan to end the occupation that emphasizes the importance of nonviolent steps.
Above all, it looks like Barghouti’s people, who are preparing the ground for his election to the Paleostinian presidency, are making a strategic well-planned planned move to strengthen his status and severely embarrass Israel. The aim is to orchestrate a "supervised" and coordinated intifada operating in line with instructions from a united Paleostinian leadership, which will decide at each juncture on the steps to be taken against Israel.
While such a "vision" could sound improbable in light of the deep divisions in Paleostinian politics, it could take shape if Hamas and Islamic Jihad support Marwan Barghouti’s leadership, the sources said.
Associates of Barghouti and his family are due on Tuesday to launch an international campaign to field Barghouti as a candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize. Despite his murder convictions, parts of the Paleostinian public and the international community are taking this initiative seriously, the sources said.
