 BE WARY OF DEADLY CORAL SNAKES

 SARI NUSSEIBEH IN THE NEW YORKER: RAGE AND REASON
Sari Nusseibeh, the Palestine Liberation Organization's chief representative in Jerusalem, is perhaps the most moderate adviser in the councils of Yasir Arafat.
Sari's grandfather was a top city official under the pre-1948 British Mandate, and Sari's father, Anwar, was, at various points in his career, a Palestinian warrior, the Jordanian minister of defense, the governor of Jerusalem, and Amman's Ambassador to the Court of St. James's.
Sari was a sort of aristocratic kid, beautifully groomed and with great charm." Anwar Nusseibeh, who had been badly wounded in the war of 1948, sensed in his son a decidedly more pacific and private temperament.

 Sari Nusseibeh Biography
Nusseibeh describes the Palestinian experience of the first twenty years of Occupation as one of being torn between, on the one hand, the possibility of immersion in Israeli society (with the hope of equality in a single state), and on the other the nationalistic hope of independence in a separate Palestine.
Nusseibeh helped to author the "inside" Palestinians' declaration of independence issued in the first intifada, and to create the 200 political committees and 28 technical committees that were intended to as an embryonic infrastructure for a future Palestinian administration.
Nusseibeh's aim was to strengthen Fatah in the Occupied Territories, by creating a link between the academic negotiating class and the activists in the streets and refugee camps.

Nusseibeh is touted as the Arab 'moderate of the moment' based primarily on him saying he's waiving the right of return to Israel for Palestinians.
Nusseibeh was unquestionably guilty of complicity with Saddam Hussein's attempt to destroy Israel, and was arrested by Shin Bet and detained for several weeks.
Despite Nusseibeh's crime ten years ago, far from having his entire career trashed, or being barred from anything, this man is touted by his Leftist loyalists as a moderate up and coming leader.

Nusseibeh's office at Al Quds University in east Jerusalem was closed on Tuesday by orders issued by Internal Security Minister Uzi Landau, who said it was being used in violation of previous interim peace agreements.

 Middle East Report 222: Opening the Debate on the Right of Return, by Sari Hanafi
Nusseibeh, the Palestinian Authority’s diplomatic representative in Jerusalem, started an enriching debate when he declared that, in the framework of a two-state solution, the Palestinians cannot demand the return of refugees to homes now inside the state of Israel.
While Sari Nusseibeh’s declarations open up debate over the right of return and its meaning in the Palestinian polity, on the Israeli side he is used by his “peace partners” as evidence that Palestinians will yield their rights.
Nusseibeh believes that such an influx would change the “character” of the Jewish state within the framework of a two-state solution, and hence cannot be contemplated.

Sari Nusseibeh, a soft-spoken and mild-mannered academic, is the current 'moderate', the proffered partner for dialogue.
Nusseibeh has been charged with renewing Palestinian diplomatic activity in Israel's capital, after the government acted vigorously to forestall it - in accordance with the law and the diplomatic agreements - by closing institutions (first and foremost, 'Orient House') and preventing Palestinian Authority- or PLO-sponsored diplomatic conferences.
Nusseibeh is, therefore, clearly loyal to the PLO's 'stages doctrine', and in his words: 'We are at a crossroads today, and in my opinion, we must take what we can get.'
