The Internet Web site of Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement contains a constitution that supports armed struggle against Israel instead of a negotiated peace. The Fatah Constitution — posted in www.fateh.org — says the movement opposes “any political solution offered as an alternative to demolishing the Zionist occupation in Palestine.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman, David Bar-Illan, said the site is “as clear an indication as any that the PLO has not abandoned its intention to destroy the State of Israel.”
