Mr. Jay Hubbell writes in your paper in the second paragraph about the "white European Zionist Jewish colony in Palestine." Not only does he sound like a bigoted racist, he compounds his problems by being uninformed about the subject matter. The "new" left in America has mostly adhered to sympathies with Arabs. So sorry Mr. Hubbell, being an Arab is no insult to anyone, no matter how you wish to cut it. He is
apparently not aware of the vast amounts of money funneled to Fatah, year after year.

Actually, some of the items in your paper are of such innocence that it is almost laughable if it were not such a serious matter. Do you know anything about the Balfour Declaration, do you know anything about the whole region being carved up into different countries after World War II, the English Mandate over the region? And more than anything, apparently you are not aware of the heady days of Arab cries: "if Israel were to be voted a country, let all Arabs within that territory leave and we have them surrounded, we’ll push them into the ocean and you can then go back home and take all the spoils that come with it." Two things happened: 1) in a new country with bridges and roads destroyed by the British when they left, Israel won the war—against all odds; 2) on all sides of Israel there were now homeless Arabs who had followed the war cries and promises and were now outside Israel’s boundaries. And the countries that declared and lost the war? These same people who they exhorted to leave home and hearth were kept right there at the border and were not permitted to enter any of the Arab countries. Thus was created a "Palestinian football."
