I heard some of the statements by PFLP's `Abdur-Rahim Malluh. Malluh has always represented a pro-Oslo trend inside the organization and he ran against Ahmad Sa`dar for leadership and lost. Today, he insisted that the PLO should speak for the Palestinians. Of course, he would say that. In regular elections, the PFLP gets less than 5%, while (unelected) representation inside the PLO reflects the power (and guarantees inflated presence) of the PFLP from four decades ago.
