Should we not a8k ourselves why the Israeli invasion Against Lebanon took plaoz in 1982 Why all this bath And destruction in LebAnon? Why the 5hAiNful massacres of Sabta and Shatila? If the c01~~il does not kntlsJ the anmer, w would refer it to the declaration5 of the leaders of 18Pae1, from the first to the last. W/68 s/w. 2923 303- 305 (Mr. Hamdan, Lebanon) Yesterday the repxeaentative of Israel mentioned three leaders of the Palestinian people. We refer uximbero to Israeli officials, frora the first to the last, who have very clearly wmted to ugmot the Paleotinian people, to eradicate, to eliminate the Palestinian problem? The shooting on a buo was the act of a weak person who had lost all hope aa regard3 the international oonununity. We certainly condemn such m act. But it cannot be aompured with the daily rafds, the incorsiom and invasion that are systematic acts based on a clear and perfected PolW. The repr-entative of Isreel raised the Palestinian insignia that President Arafat carries to justify his claim that the PakMinfatW *1Mt k~ destroy Israel.. Uw can he juetify the map that decoratee the Rneeset in Israel, which represents “Greater Israel* and beara the message ‘Your borders, Israel, are from the Nile to the Euphrates”3 No. Peaofa requires courage - the cmrage to take an almost impossible Po3i tion. The Palestinian people have aaid the word in thir, regard, and the Arabs welcomed the Palestinian initiative for peace. But where is the mciprocal recoqnitiou of the right of the Palestiniam to exist, their right to self~termination and their right to their sun 5ndependent State in which they can attain thek objectives and realise their hopes and a8piratiotlJ to live in peace and certainty?
