be taken by announcing a total rejection of this conspiracy, by
closing the Arab airports to the shuttles of Schultz and all other
US envoys. Schultz and all the Arab hirelings would then
understand that the PLO is the only force to approach, because
it is the concerned party and the sole legitimate representative
of the Palestinian people.
- The United National Leadership and the rebelling people
strongly denounce the recent suppressive measures, the seal-
ing off of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the imposition of
curfew on the entire Gaza Strip for three whole days, the isola-
tion of the West Bank by declaring it a closed area to the
movement of residents and journalists, in a desperate attempt
to prevent the people from marking Land Day. We are confi-
dent that all these desperate attempts are bound to fail, because
the will of the uprising will overcome all fascist measures.
- The United National Leadership denounces the occupation
authorities’ decision to ban the Youth Movement and to
dissolve several trade unions and institutions. These measures
violate the most basic human rights and all international con-
ventions and norms. The United National Leadership affirms
that such measures will only make us more determined to con-
tinue the struggle for liberation.
- The United National Leadership highly appreciates the
united stand adopted by the merchants of Ramallah, who
swore in a general meeting attended by 300 merchants not to.
pay taxes and committed themselves to this in practice. This is
an example for all the merchants in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip to follow.
- The United National Leadership and the makers of the
uprising salute the position of those who resigned from village
and municipal councils in compliance with the calls. At the
same time, the United National Leadership warns those who
have not yet resigned that they expose themselves and their
property to danger. In addition, we tell them that the masses of
the uprising will clamp down on everybody who deviates from
the national consensus and fails to comply with the calls of the
uprising.
- The United National Leadership and the masses of the
uprising highly appreciate the collective resignations of the tax
and customs collectors in the Gaza Strip. The United National
Leadership calls upon the workers of the same departments in
the West Bank to follow the step taken by their colleagues in
the Gaza Strip. The United National Leadership also ap-
preciates the mass resignation of the policemen who abided by
the call of the uprising, and demands the rest to resign im-
mediately. The United National Leadership appeals to all of
the national and popular committees to continue the
establishment of the guarding, protection and general order
committees, so as to stop enemy forces from trying to spread
an atmosphere of destruction and chaos. The United National
Leadership also calls upon local industry to cooperate with the
national and popular committees to absorb the policemen and
the tax and customs collectors (who have resigned).
- The United National Leadership urges the agricultural
engineers and experts and orchard owners to offer support and
instruction to farmers, peasants and striking workers, so as to
achieve maximum self-sufficiency for confronting the
economic pressures exerted by the occupiers. Let us improve
and plant the land to meet our needs and to support the
besieged areas. Let us all realize that it is the duty of all the
masses of the uprising to increase production during our long
war. Let us also realize that striking doesn’t mean refraining
from planting our land.
- The United National Leadership, as it persists in the long
and hard struggle to expell the occupation and establish our
independent state, calls upon the masses of the uprising to
carry out the following activities:
1. Declaration of Monday, April 4th, as a day of total strike,
expressing the masses’ rejection of the conspiracy of US im-
perialism’s secretary of state, George Schultz. The United Na-
tional Leadership reasserts the position of the rebelling masses
to boycott any meetings with Schultz or any other US envoy.
2. Declaration of Monday-Wednesday, April 4-6th, as days of
mass activities by the different committees and the strike
forces, to confront Schultz’s visit, and to stand in solidarity
with those detained and injured, by conducting sit-ins and
popular demonstrations.
3. Tuesday, April 5th, is declared a day of national work where
all national establishments and factories should function at full
capacity. The income from this day should be dedicated to
those who have suffered from the uprising, namely, the
families of martyrs, wounded and arrested, besieged areas, the
workers who have boycotted their jobs in Zionist settlements
and establishments, and those who resigned in accordance with
the calls of the uprising. The distribution of this income will
take effect through the popular committees in every city,
village and camp.
4. On the occasion of the International Health Day, April 4th,
the United National Leadership greets all the physicians,
pharmacists and nurses who have carried out their duties by
offering popular care and aid to those injured in the uprising.
The United National Leadership calls upon all of those work-
ing in this field to provide more medical aid.
5. Declaration of Thursday, the commemoration of Al Qastal
battle and of the martyrdom of the Palestinian leader, Abdul
Qader al-Huseini, as a day of fierce confrontation against the
occupation forces and their cowardly settlers. Let us conduct
mass demonstrations in the streets, and transform our camps,
villages and cities into strongholds for the revolution and
uprising.
6. Declaration of Saturday, April 9th, the commemoration of
the first martyrs of the uprising and of the Deir Yassin
massacre and of the uprising entering its fifth month, as a day
of popular rule. The masses will head towards the martyrs’
graves, and sit-ins will be held in municipalities and other
establishments. This is a day of vehement anger against the
occupiers and their repression. Let us turn the ground into a
flaming volcano under their feet.
7. Observing Friday and Sunday, April 8th and 10th, as days
of prayer for the souls of the martyrs of the uprising. Let us
continue the demonstrations, marches and sit-ins in the mos-
ques and churches.
8. Declaration of Monday, April 11th, as a total strike day
where the masses should head towards voluntary work on their
land in order to cultivate it, develop the Palestinian coun-
tryside and develop home economy.
Oh masses of the uprising, go forward
Stone-throwers, go forward
The uprising shall be victorious!
1 Sheikh Izz Al Din Al Qassam organized armed cells in Palestine in the 1930s.
Although he himself was martyred on November 12th, 1935, in an encounter
with the British colonial troops, the armed groups he began are generally
recognized as having sparked the 1936-39 Palestinian revolt against the British
Mandate and the Zionist invasion.
2 Abdul Qader Al Husseini led Palestinians fighting the Zionist forces in the
battle at Al Qastal in 1948, and was martyred there.
