'The Third Intifada has already begun'

from your link...

Like President Clinton, Israel and the Likud party now formally agreed that the objectionable clauses of the charter had been abrogated, in official statements and statements by Prime Minister Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Sharon, Defense Minister Mordechai and Trade and Industry Minister Sharansky.[13][14][15][16] With official Israeli objections to the Charter disappearing henceforward from lists of Palestinian violations of agreements,[17] the international legal controversy ended.


Its a matter of opinion in the end. I doubt if I am going to convince anyone who is committed to the "not amended" case.

The very next paragraph, after the one you quoted says:

Despite President Clinton's optimism, the events of 1998 did not entirely resolve the controversy of the Charter. A June 1999 report by the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Information on the status of the Charter made no mention of the 1998 events and leading Palestinians continue to state that the Charter has not yet been amended.

Sections "Israeli views" and "Palestinian views" both claim the charter has not been amended.

In reality though, the point is moot. It's up t PLO to prove beyond reasonable doubt they have amended the charter. This really isn't something that has any sort of excuse to have any ambiguity whatsoever, it's a document they can amend, and we do know how the document can be amended. If there is any room for reasonable doubt - and there is plenty - then the only reasonable conclusion can be that they have not, in fact, done anything.

Seeing as you are never going to accept that the damn thing was amended do you think there is any real point in continuing on with this current rerun of the charter diversion?

Then give us a link to the revised charter. I'll believe it when I see it.
