Striking Palestinian education
The Zionist authorities have once
again ordered the closure of Najah Uni-
versity in Nablus, this time for four
months. The order was issued with the
excuse that the university houses publi-
cations and art work which oppose the
occupation. The closure order came
after Israeli army forces stormed the uni-
versity and confiscated Palestinian
national art work and publications that
were exhibited as part of the university's
Palestine Week celebration. The
Zionists conducted a thorough search of
the university and the offices of student
committees. Many of the books confis-
cated concerned the history of Pales-
tine. While the search was in progress,
not only the university campus but the
whole area were encircled by Zionist
troops who blocked off the main roads.
More than twenty students were
arrested.
Arrests and trials
In another incident the Zionist occu-
pation forces arrested the Palestinian
citizen, Saed Farid Abu Rub as he was
returning from Jordan via the Amir
Muhammad Bridge on July 17th. He was
accused of making contact with the PLO
office in Amman. Also three youth from
the village of Maghir in the Ramallah
area were arrested on the charge of «de-
meaning and belittling the Israeli flag».
Collective punishment was imposed on
both Kalandia and Fawara camps near
Nablus, whereby the residents were
denied their right to travel.
In a trial by the Zionist military court
in Lod (Lydda), Redda Hussein
Qadoura, age 18, was sentenced to
thirty years imprisonment on charges of
conducting the military operation in
Jerusalem on February 18th, attempting
another operation and DFLP member-
ship. Qadoura was tried in absentia,
having been dismissed from the court-
room when he refused to stand for the
military judge's entry.
Racism on the rise
The above mentioned acts of re-
pression are only some of the more
recent measures against our people.

They bear evidence to the escalation of
Zionism’s racist practices in line with
Zionism’s steady march rightwards. In
recent years Zionist aggression and
racism have become more blatant with
the increased prominence of ultra-right
tendencies. The increased terrorist
activities of extreme right groups and the
acts of the official forces, like the murder
of the two Palestinian commandos after
the Askelon bus operation are no coinci-
dence but true expressions of Zionism
and its stategy.
The Israeli elections showed that
the Zionist entity's move towards the
right is not a passing phenomenon, but a
deeply entrenched trend. This enabled
the relatively small rightist religious par-
ties to attain a decisive position in the
formation of the new government. This
also enabled the openly fascist terrorist
Meir Kahane to gain a Knesset seat.
After his election, Kahane declared that
he will establish a bureau to kick all
Palestinians out of Palestine. The ongo-
ing repression of the official terrorists,
i.e. the Zionist army, provides fertile
ground for such attempts. @
