A lot has happened since 1974 (if I believed everything the U.S. government said 1974, I would be very unhappy now - which is the case).
Step 3 - To provoke an all-out war in which Israel's Arab neighbors destroy it entirely..
We are getting close to the all-out war part - which will result in major world upheaval no matter who "wins". Israel seems to be co-operating with this plan quite well.
"Since the decision of the Palestinian National Council at its 12th meeting in 1974, the PLO has adopted the political solution of establishing a National Authority over any territory from which the occupation withdraws."
- Yassir Arafat, in the Palestinian Arab newspaper Al Ayyam, January 1, 1998

"Within five years we will have 6 to 7 million Arabs living on the West Bank and in Jerusalem....We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. Jews will not want to live among Arabs. I have no use for Jews....We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem."
Yassir Arafat, Stockholm, 30 January, 1996, as reported by an attendee of the closed meeting, and printed in the Washington Times, March 3, 1996, by Cal Thomas

- "The Oslo accord was a preface for the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Authority will be a preface for the Palestinian state which, in its turn, will be a preface for the liberation of the entire Palestinian land." (Emphasis added.)
· Abdul Asis Shaheen, Arafat's Minister of Supplies in the official Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida on 4 January 1998

Question: Do you feel sometimes that you made a mistake in agreeing to Oslo?
Arafat: No... no. Allah's messenger Mohammad accepted the al-Khudaibiya peace treaty and Salah a-Din accepted the peace agreement with Richard the Lion-Hearted."
