March 7, 1966 President Al-Atassi of Syria

President Al-Atassi of Syria:

“Through their past experience in the struggle, and in their fight against all imperialist forces, our people have become convinced that the all-out people’s war of liberation is the only road to the liberation of Palestine and the smashing of imperialist and reactionary plans.”

“The Palestine question is the basic subject in the revolution’s programme.  The liberation of Palestine has been the cornerstone in the revolution’s plan and national policy…

“The Palestine battle is a liberation war in the complete sense of the word.  The revolution believes that delaying the battle only increases the enemy’s power.”
