[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - The Palestinian Authority is planning to mark Israel's 60th anniversary by calling on all Palestinians living abroad to converge on Israel by land, sea and air. The plan, drawn by Ziad Abu Ein, a senior Fatah operative and Deputy Minister for Prisoners' Affairs, calls on Palestinians to return to Israel on May 14, 2008, with their suitcases and tents so that they could settle in their former villages and towns. Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq are requested to facilitate the return of the Palestinians by opening their borders and allowing them to march toward Israel. The plan stresses that the Palestinians can no longer expect to achieve the "right of return" at the negotiating table with Israel.
