 Encyclopedia: Palestine Liberation Organization
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) (Arabic Munazzamat al-Tahrir Filastiniyyah منظمة تحرير فلسطينية) is a political and paramilitary organization of Palestinian Arabs dedicated to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state to consist of the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, with an intent to destroy Israel.
The Palestine Liberation Organization is considered the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and holds a permanent observer seat in the UN General Assembly.
The PLO's Rejection Front opposed Arafat's growing calls for diplomacy from the mid-1970s, perhaps best symbolized by his support for a UN Security Council resolution proposed in 1976 calling for a two-state settlement on the pre-1967 borders and his Ten Points Program, which was denounced by the Rejection Front (and vetoed by the United States).

 The Palestine Liberation Organisation: Return to unity : SF Bay Area Indymedia
It is dangerous to overstep the role of the PLO, hinder it, or disregard the rules for comprehensive democratic reform within the Palestinian Authority (PA) set in accordance with the conclusions of the Cairo Declaration of 17 March 2005.

The second condition is that the relationship between the PLO and the PA be redefined, for the PLO provides the political and national authority for the PA. The overlapping of PLO and PA institutions must be reversed.

While the scope of the PA's political power is structurally determined by its relationship with the Israeli state and financially it is ultimately dependent upon international aid from the imperialist powers and the Arab bourgeoisie, the PA also claims to represent the national aspirations of the Palestinian people.

But the difference between 1982 and 2002 is that the Palestinians have wounded their enemy; that their struggle is now inside Israel and on Palestinian land that Israel' s governments seem unable to contemplate relinquishing, not a threat over a frontier; that a peaceful solution has been tried, and has failed.
