“The Israeli government’s savage assault on the oppressed Palestinian people and the slaughtering of the uprising Palestinian masses (whose demand is but the attainment of the right to self-determination) together with the American government’s ongoing and outright support of the Israeli government, have created an ever more rage and revulsion in the people of the world….”

These attacks on the Palestinian people clearly demonstrate that the Israeli government neither pursues peace nor intends to return the occupied lands to the Palestinians.
