Fourteenth Friday Sen11011 Feb 22, 1991 Four million Palestinians are wandering about listlessly, stateless, without a country, like lost souls. The Jews have been grafted in the land of the Palestinians. Day by day their numbers have been made to increase. Despite all these upheavals it is said that today there are still 1,500,000 Palestinians to the 2,500,000 Jews in Palestine and their number is increasing. It is Israel's aim to populate the West Bank with more Jews and then claim more land. Their strategy is that first they settle down, then add to the population, then further expand residential facilities and thus further increase their strength. So Israel goes on increasing Jewish settlements and bringing in Jewish immigrants, pushing out the native Palestinians who have been living there, born and bred on that soil for centuries. The Palestinians have no right now to live and reside on their own ancestral land and are told that they have no land, no country. We refuse to recognize you, they say. In the face of this Israeli policy, it is difficult lo understand what considerations still motivate the U. S. to carry on its flirtation with Israel. The action of the U. S. in allowing Israel a free hand in the Middle East is similar to some one letting a bull loose in a crop field. A bull only eats the crops in the field but Israel is sucking the blood and devouring the flesh of the people while there is none lo stop this brutality. THE FATE OF THE UNITED NATIONS R ESOLUTIONS AGAINST ISRAEL You have heard about the resolutions against Iraq. It was resolved that unless Iraq complies in full with the various Security Council resolutions, the bombing, destruction, and battering of Iraq will continue even after Iraq was driven out of Kuwait. The pounding of Iraq shall continue till it is made sure, that for scores of years none shall be able to muster the strength lo challenge these powers. In contrast lo this stem and implacable implementation of the Security Council resolutions by the United States of America and the West during the Gulf War, whenever the Security Council has proposed resolutions demanding that Israel should stop perpetrating cruelties, the U. S. vetoes such a resolution. It was 27 times that the Security Council branded Israel as an aggressor and asked it to vacate the forcibly occupied territories and desist from acts of aggression. All such resolutions were vetoed; in many cases the U. S. was the lone country that cast its negative vote to kill such resolutions. I have 264
