			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>August 08, 2011: Top officials of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas&#8217; Fatah Party issued a report contending that former Gaza strongman Mohammed Dahlan sent poison disguised as medicine to Yaaser Arafat, poisoning him while he was in a Paris hospital. Arafat died in November 2004 under mysterious circumstances in France<br />
They offered no evidence to back up their claim, other than to say Dahlan ordered Arafat guards to burn the vials in which the alleged poison was stored. The report also says, without providing evidence, that Dahlan stole $300 million the U.S. sent the Palestinians to build a security force.</p>
<p>Dahlan was widely blamed by colleagues for the 2007 loss of Gaza to Fatah&#8217;s rivals, the militant Hamas group, when he was the security chief in the seaside strip. He and Abbas have been feuding for months. Dahlan has accused the Palestinian president of being a weak leader and of allowing his sons to benefit financially from his rule. Fatah expelled Dahlan from the party in June because of his repeated criticism of Abbas, and Palestinian police recently raided his West Bank home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jordan [trans-Jordan meaning the east side of the Jordan River] was created in 1922 as a kingdom to serve British imperialist colonial interests according to the British Mandate of the League of Nations Resolution of 1920; and after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire. British Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill took 77 percent of Palestine, the historic homeland of the Jewish people, and created a colonialist kingdom where today over 90% of the population identify themselves as Palestinian Arabs. If Jordan were to allow democratic elections, the world would be forced to recognize it as both the de jure and de facto Palestinian Arab state.</p>
<p><strong>Judea and Samaria were illegally occupied</strong> by the Hashemite Kingdom of Trans-Jordan for 19 years following its British-led invasion into the nascent Jewish state until being won back by Israel during the Six Day War of 1967.</p>
<p>Jordan is already the Arab Palestinian state and that the only factor allowing the international community to continue ignoring this reality is the lack of democratic elections in the Hashemite kingdom. The Western powers and Arab countries today are attempting to extort these lands now to be used for the creation of a new Arab state to be run by the <strong>Arab Fatah-led PA</strong>.</p>
<p>Hashemite King Abdullah of Jordan [trans-Jordan] assumes that the creation of another Palestinian Arab state in portions of Israel will ease pressure on his kingdom. However, analysts have pointed out that the Jordanian monarch has an interest in the speedy establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria as he fears a repeat of &#8220;Black September&#8221; led by Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah and other factions with the same goal to succeed this time around.</p>
<p><strong>The &#8220;Black September&#8221; group&#8217;s name derives</strong> from the Black September conflict which began on 16 September 1970, when King Hussein of Jordan declared military rule in response to a fedayeen coup d’état to seize his kingdom; resulting in the deaths or expulsion of the PLO to Lebanon and thousands of Arab Palestinians from Jordan in July 1971. The BSO began as a small cell of Fatah men determined to take revenge upon King Hussein and the Jordanian army. Recruits from the PFLP, as-Sa&#8217;iqa, and other groups also joined.</p>
<p><strong>In his book Stateless, Salah Khalaf (Abu Iyad</strong>), Yasser Arafat&#8217;s chief of security and a founding member of Fatah, wrote that: &#8220;Black September was an auxiliary unit of the resistance movement, at a time when the latter was unable to fully realize its military and political potential. Abu Iyad&#8217;s claim was contradicted by <strong>Mohammed</strong> <strong>Daoud Oudeh, also known as Abu Daoud</strong>, a BSO operative and former senior PLO member, who, according to a 1972 article in the Jordanian newspaper Al-Dustur, told Jordanian police: &#8220;There is no such organization as Black September. Fatah announces its own operations under this name so that Fatah will not appear as the direct executor of the operation.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Other actions attributed to Black September include</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>28 November 1971</strong>: the assassination of Jordan&#8217;s prime minister, Wasfi Tel, in retaliation for the expulsion of the PLO from Jordan in 1970-71;<br />
<strong>December 1971:</strong> attempted assassination of Zeid al Rifai, Jordan&#8217;s ambassador to London and former chief of the Jordanian royal court;<br />
<strong>6 February 1972:</strong> sabotage of a West German electrical installation and gas plants in Ravenstein and Ommen in the Netherlands and in Hamburg in West Germany;<br />
<strong>8 May, 1972:</strong> hijacking of a Belgian aircraft, Sabena Flight 572, flying from Vienna to Lod.<br />
<strong>September and October 1972:</strong> dozens of letter bombs were sent from Amsterdam to Israeli diplomatic posts around the world, killing Israeli Agricultural Counselor Ami Shachori in Britain.<br />
<strong>1 March 1973:</strong> attack on the Saudi embassy in Khartoum, killing Cleo Noel, United States Chief of Mission to Sudan, George Curtis Moore, the US Deputy Chief of Mission to Sudan, and Guy Eid, the Belgian chargé d&#8217;affaires to Sudan<br />
<strong>2 March 1973 1973</strong> New York bomb plot<br />
<strong>5 August 1973:</strong> two Palestinian militants claiming affiliation with Black September open fire on a passenger lounge in an Athens airport, killing 5 and wounding 55. A Lufthansa Boeing 737 is hijacked in December to demand that the gunmen be freed from Greek custody.<br />
<strong>19 September 1972</strong> letter bomb attacks and assassination of Ami Shachori. Dr. Ami Shachori was the agricultural counselor in the Israeli Embassy to the United Kingdom in the London district of Kensington.  At the age of 44 he was assassinated in a letter bomb attack on September 19, 1972, perpetrated by Black September.Eight bombs were addressed to embassy staffers. Four were intercepted at a post office sorting room in Earls Court, but the other four letters made it to the embassy. Three of the letters were detected in the consulate post room but Ami Shachori opened his, believing it contained Dutch flower seeds he had ordered. The resulting blast tore a hole in the desk and fatally wounded Shachori in the stomach and chest. In Shachori&#8217;s memory an annual memorial lecture on agriculture in London was established.<br />
The Hashemite Kingdom, which is itself an artificially created state, has a majority population that defines itself as ethnically Palestinian.</p>
