itself surrounded by peace which it al-
ways rejects.» He said that the relations
between King Hussein and the PLO will
not be affected by the US-israeli con-
spiracies.
King Hussein tried to justify the
criminal Zionist act in Tunis, when he
stated to reporters in Washington D.C.
that «We should be aware that violence
breeds violence.» In another interview
with CBS television, Hussein stressed
that he will pursue ‘Israel’ and US
imperialism despite their aggressive-
ness. He denied that the peace process
in the Middle East had gone back to
square one after the recent events in the
region. Hussein went even further, com-
paring the imperialist and Zionist attacks
on the Arabs with the Arab peoples’ le-
gitimate struggle to gain their rights. He
said: «All extremists on all sides try to
cancel any opportunity available for raa-
lizing a just and lasting peace, awaited
for so long.»
After the Israeli raid and the shoot-
ing of 7 Zionist settlers in the Sinai by an
Egyptian soldier, Husni Mubarak sent a
letter of reassurance to the Israeli minis-
ters, stressing that he still sticks to the
peace path and that the Egyptian autho-
rities are doing everything in their power
to complete the investigation into the kil-
lings in the Sinai. Moreover, Mubarak
reassured Peres by saying that he per-
sonally is following up the case. Then
the US Administration dealt the final
insult by hijacking the Egyptian civilian
plane. Mubarak, worried by the masses’
indignation, initially denounced the US
piracy. However, his rhetoric soon sub-
sided into submission, as when he re-
marked: «| hope that the dark cloud will
blow over... | hope that we will reach a
point where matters will be clarified.»
Thus to him, things are not clear enough,
and he needs to be insulted even more
to see more clearly. Instead of taking a
practical stand against US and Zionist
interests in Egypt, the authorities arrest-
ed over 15 Egyptians who were demon-

The reaction of these regimes can
only be described as humiliating, not
once going further than verbal pussy-
footing.
The Arab masses respond to
US-Zionist piracy
Contrary to the response of the
reactionary Arab regimes and their reas-
surances that relations with imperialism
would not be marred by these events,
the Arab masses rose in indignation at
the aggression.
