Despite claims to the contrary, the Palestinian Liberation Organization has never changed its charter declaring Israel has no right to exist, the PLO's "foreign minister" Farouk Kaddoumi said in an interview today.

Speaking to the Jordanian newspaper Al-Arab, the PLO official also said when Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat talks about the need to pursue the "struggle" against Israel, he is referring to the "armed struggle," the Jerusalem Post reported.

In addition, Kaddoumi revealed the PLO has given him the "portfolio" of supporting the Iraqi resistance against the U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq.

"There is no doubt that the Palestinian revolution supports the Iraqi resistance and we have seen demonstrations in the occupied Palestinian territories in backing the intifada and resistance in Iraq," he said. "I'm in charge of this issue and I condemn the American position."

He noted the establishment of an armed group in Iraq named after slain Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin as an "excellent phenomenon" that would increase pressure on the U.S.

Asked about U.S. and Israeli demands to halt terror attacks as a condition for resuming the peace process, Kaddoumi replied: "They can go to hell!"

Kaddoumi said though it is widely believed the PLO now recognizes Israel's right to existence, in fact the charter was never changed.

"The Palestinian national charter has not been amended until now," he explained. "It was said that some articles are no longer effective, but they were not changed. I'm one of those who didn't agree to any changes."

The armed struggle, he said, was the only way to force Israel to accept the demands of the Palestinians.

Kaddoumi was asked what Arafat means when he talks about the continuation of the struggle.

He responded, "Yes, the national struggle must continue. I mean the armed struggle. In the past we abandoned our political parties in favor of the armed struggle.

Arafat's Fatah movement, he continued, "was established on the basis of the armed struggle and that this was the only way to leading to political negotiations that would force the enemy to accept our national aspirations. Therefore there is no struggle other than the armed military struggle."

Kaddoumi commented on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

"If Israel wants to leave the Gaza Strip, then it should do so," he said. "This means that the Palestinian resistance has forced it to leave. But the resistance will continue. Let the Gaza Strip be South Vietnam. We will use all available methods to liberate North Vietnam."

Israel does not recognize the palestinians' right to exist, Israel deserves the same treatment. For the palestinians to recognize Israel's right to exist then Israel should recognize the palestinians right to exist.

Israel deserves what's coming to them.

10000%- wrong
