Palestine: «The ICSS is a small committee founded after the
Sabra Shatila massacre. We believed it was necessary to
strengthen and broaden the spreading of Palestinian art and
culture. Because of this,we have special relations with Palesti-
nian cultural organizations such as the Writers’ and Jour-
nalists’ Union and the Artists’ Union. For the production of this
series, we have also cooperated with the Palestinian Prison-
ers’ Association. On the other hand, we are trying to develop
close contacts with the solidarity movements abroad. We have
progressed slowly but steadily in this work, and of course we
hope that this process will continue. Prior to this initiative we
have printed posters and sent them to solidarity committees as
well as distributed them here. But, as you can imagine, this is
a heavy financial burden. In this case it was hard for us to set
a price for the postcards. On the one hand, the PLO has to
have other priorities due to the extremely hard life conditions
for the Palestinians under occupation and in exile. On the other
hand, we know, that our supporters all over the world are not
rich. However, we came to the conclusion that people abroad
who support the Palestinian liberation movement, will be able
to pay a little more than the Palestinians, as the price to be paid
for the cards will cover the expenses. And should we receive
more than needed for this, the money will be used to support
those who due to the consequences of imprisonment or mas-

sacres suffer the most.» Asked where the ICSS stands in rela-
tion to the different political groupings in the PLO, the spokes-
man said: «Though some of the people in our committee are
members of different PLO-organizations, the ICSS is not polit-
ically tied to any of them. But we sincerely hope for the success
of the. Aden agreement, as this definitely will strengthen our
work even on the very basic and fundemental level. The situa-
tion of Palestinians in exile in different countries, under occu-
pation or in prison creates in itself difficult conditions for the
distribution of art and culture. We are trying to help distributing
Palestinian culture and art, which is the uncensored voice of
the Palestinian people. This task is difficult, and therefore we
must work hard. Due to our experience, we are sure that the
solidarity movements will not only understand, but contribute
with their efforts. We feel sure, also, that they know how
appreciated their work is among the Palestinian masses. Sol-
idarity is dialectical - 2 ways - the unified struggle against mas-
Sacres, exploitation and war is necessary. Palestinian post-
cards is a small contribution, but the sea consists of drops of
water, and liberation is the result of thousands of people's
small contributions. »
