Abstract:For the United States and the Palestinians, 1977 was a diplomatic opportunity due to the election of President Jimmy Carter and changes within the Palestine Liberation Organization. While Carter aimed for a comprehensive peace to solve the entire Arab-Israeli conflict, Israel balked. Instead of blocking the process entirely, however, Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin proposed Palestinian "self-rule." While it enabled a separate Egyptian-Israeli peace process, the self-rule proposal was an obfuscation intended to continue Palestinian political exclusion and prevent Palestinian statehood.

烟幕外交：按自我规则排除巴勒斯坦人

摘要：对于美国和巴勒斯坦人，1977年是一个外交的机会，由于总统吉米·卡特和巴勒斯坦解放组织内改变的选举。卡特旨在实现全面和平以解决整个阿以冲突时，以色列却退缩了。但是，以色列总理梅纳赫姆·贝宁并没有完全阻止这一进程，而是提出了巴勒斯坦“自治”的建议。这项自我规则提案虽然使埃及-以色列的和平进程得以分开，但却是一种混淆，旨在继续将巴勒斯坦政治排斥在外并防止巴勒斯坦建国。
