Call No.9
This is the text of Call no.9 as it was distributed, in English translation, in the occupied territories:
NO VOICE IS LOUDER THAN THE VOICE OF
THE UPRISING
ISSUED BY THE PALESTINE LIBERATION
ORGANISATION / NATIONAL UNIFIED
COMMAND FOR THE UPRISING
We swear to escalate the popular uprising until the indepen-
dent state.
Shultz! return to the PLO - there is no other choice.
To our struggling people:
Your glorious uprising continues and your heroic confron-
tation of the occupying army and the cowardly settlers in-
creases. You have cost them great losses while at the same time
you have daily made new accomplishments. The Zionist
slaughterer Rabin can only indirectly admit the failure. He has
finally admitted that our people are fighting a popular war.
The occupation, oh heroes, has been defeated politically and
only the imperialist Americans are trying to save them from a
sure defeat. The occupation has been defeated economically.
The official figures about the direct losses in the stock ex-
change, and in productive projects, as a result of our heroic
workers’ strike, has passed $2,000 million. The occupation has
lost militarily. The military machine has been incapable to
confront the stones, molotovs and the will of a revolting peo-
ple. Their soldiers and fascist settlers don’t know what security
means. Two-thirds of the soldiers who step on our homeland
have to go to mental infirmaries for treatment.
You, the heroes of the uprising, are daily raising the cost of
the occupation. You are increasing their losses. You are mar-
ching with confidence towards the establishment of your in-
dependent Palestinian state, led by our sole and legitimate
representative, the PLO. Your steps don’t know the meaning
of retreat. This is your will, the will of the people of the upris-
ing and the will of our leadership, the PLO, and its political
and struggling wing, its natural organic extension in the oc-
cupied territories - the Unified National Command of the
Uprising. This is the only will and the only decision - maker in
our Palestinian land. We as a single and whole body are bury-
ing together the American imperialistic conspiracy. We are
burying it from its birth. The [conspiracy’s] hero Shultz will
only reap failure in his attempt to sell the Camp David goods
which our Palestinian people have rejected. The agents of the
imperialists are hiding in their holes after the heroic uprising
has defeated them. The occupiers and their supporters were
defeated by the uprising.
From a position of daily struggle against the fascist oc-
cupiers, we take this opportunity to greet our brothers in the
occupied Golan Heights. We greet their hands which inflicted
painful blows to the occupation authorities. More power to
you in your effort to end the occupation.

The Unified National Command of the Uprising calls on all
the Arab countries, especially Syria, to correct its relationship
with the PLO, the sole and legitimate representative of our
heroic people. [We cal! on Syria] to start dialogue on the basis
of the unified struggle against imperialism and Zionism, and
on the basis of mutual respect and the respect of [the PLO’s]
independent decisions.
To the heroes of the glorious uprising, to our vanguard
students and academicians:
One of the pillars of Zionist policy is keeping our people ig-
norant and denying them the simplest rights that are engraved
in international conventions and laws. The right of learning.
The Israeli occupation authorities have thus closed all our
educational institutions from colleges to schools. This policy
has denied one-third of a million Palestinians from learning.
The Unified National Command of the Uprising has decided
to challenge this reacist occupation law by breaking the order.
[We] call on our students, teachers and educational institutions
and administrations to challenge, in unified way, and in all
places, this law by organizing the educational process on a na-
tionalist basis; thereby you can defeat the policy of keeping our
people ignorant. The Command also calls on international in-
stitutions and organizations to support our people’s struggle to
defeat this policy.
To our merchants and technicians:
In compliance with the programs of the uprising and the
comprehensive popular revolt, let us cut off the economic veins
of the occupiers. Let us announce it loud and clear. No to all
forms of taxes. [The taxes] are the channel that has provided
for the occupiers their repressive machines and invading army.
We repeat that the battle of the taxes has begun and all of you
have to organise yourselves and your unified positions and all
the people of the uprising are with you. The accountants have
an important role in this battle. Let March be the month in
which our money, that was stolen from us in the past, stops
flowing into the treasuries of the occupiers. We are certain that
your unity in refusing to bay taxes will produce one more
defeat for the occupiers, to be added to the other defeats.
To our people:
In order to produce our goals from the uprising and regar-
ding the boycott of Zionist products that we have an alter-
native to, and after discussions regarding many important
issues, the Unified National Command of the Uprising has
decided:
1. Keeping the same arrangement for opening shops between
2-3 hours daily as agreed to in every locality.
2. Our productive factories have to work at full capacity,
with all the workers, so that we can produce the biggest
amount of products, replacing the boycotted Zionist products. - هو جزء من
