Mahmoud Abbas will be giving what is billed as an important speech tonight, marking the 45th anniversary of the "start of the Palestinian revolution."
What momentous event happened 45 years ago?
Yasir Arafat co-founded Fatah in 1954 along with a number of other people, mostly Palestinian Arabs who were working in Gulf states and who went to college in Cairo. The PLO was founded in May,1964 and Fatah did not join it until 1967. There were other, mostly small, Palestinian Arab "liberation" groups that formed in the 1950s and 1960s.
So what, in Mahmoud Abbas' mind, was the seminal event that occurred 45 years ago?

A failed Fatah attack on Israel. And in 1965, Israel was NOT occupying Gaza and Yesha. Then as now the real Palestinian objective has been to seek Israel's destruction.
