Will Obama learn from these lessons? Does he want to understand the "Phased Plan"?

A Mideast learning experience for Obama by Vic Rosenthal ...(Netanyahu's speech)...Obama responded that there was a “positive movement”...representatives of Israel’s ‘moderate peace partners’ of the Palestinian Authority (PA) disagreed,...threatening — as always — violence:...There are two interesting questions:* Why these issues? /* Why are they risking exposure as being — shudder — ‘anti-peace’ and rejecting an offer of statehood out of hand? ...
One might well ask why — if we are talking about a Palestinian state — they care so much about the nature of the Jewish one. Why do they continue to argue that there is no Jewish provenance in the Land of Israel, and indeed that there is no Jewish people, if they simply want a state alongside Israel?
Of course the answer is that they don’t,...In 1974 the PLO’s Palestinian National Council, of which Mahmoud Abbas was a member, adopted a program that has been called the “Phased Plan”. It can be summarized as follows:
1. Through the “armed struggle” (i.e., terrorism), to establish an “independent combatant national authority” over any territory that is “liberated” from Israeli rule. (Article 2)
2. To continue the struggle against Israel, using the territory of the national authority as a base of operations. (Article 4)
3. To provoke an all-out war in which Israel’s Arab neighbors destroy it entirely (”liberate all Palestinian territory”). (Article 8)
Shortly thereafter (1977), Abbas became one of the first PLO officials to call for a “two-state solution”....for Abbas, the “two-state solution” is the Phased Plan.
... — why are they so out front about their anger — I think that they believed that Obama is handing Israel to them on a silver platter...convinced that he, too understands and accepts the ‘Phased Plan’ —... they think that there is nothing to lose by showing their hands.
...some Obama advisors understand quite well what the consequences will be of forcing the creation of a Palestinian state under conditions acceptable to Abbas, I believe that Mr. Obama himself actually thinks that he can find a way to end the conflict peacefully and satisfy the aspirations of both sides....Possibly this affair will be a window into the minds of the Palestinians — the kind of learning experience that Bill Clinton had to wait eight years to get.
