It might be more useful to be specific when you make such accusations.
Please give us some examples of those representatives that were
assassinated by the PLO.  I hope you are not getting confused with the
attempts on the lives of some of the elected Arab mayors in the West
Bank by "Israeli gorillas" (sic).

Just as an example, Mayor Bassam Shak'a had both his legs blown off,
and the mayor of Ramallah Karim Khalef was seriously injured by bombs.
After these attacks on their lives, the Israeli government actually
dismissed and deported them from the West Bank.  It seems that it is
the Israeli Government that is dismissing anybody that is popular in
the West Bank or the Gaza Strip.
