This summer we received the following letter from
an Irish Prisoner of War:
By good fortune | have come upon a copy of your
magazine called «Democratic Palestine» which | have enjoyed
reading very much. | was delighted to see your interview with
Gerry Adams the President of Sinn Fein, the political wing of
the IRA (Irish Republican Army). | would very much like to
receive your magazine on a regular basis and any other prog-
ressive, revolutionary literature you may have. As you can see
from my address, | am at present a Prisoner of War so | hope
you will be able to help me; political hostages have plenty of
time on their hands and there is much to be learned. Victory to
the Irish and Palestinian people.
We have received two telexes from Japan, relating
protest events against Israeli Foreign Minister
Shamir’s visit there:
The Japanese Committee to Protest Shamir's Visit to
Japan has submitted an appeal to the Japanese Foreign Minis-
try, expressing outrage over the decision to officially invite him.
Citing Shamir’s role in the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, his
past involvement in terrorist activities and his support for anne-
xation and colonization of the occupied territories, the commit-
tee opposed Shamir’s visit to Japan as contrary to the interests
of peace in the Middle East.
The committee is composed of specialists on Middle East
affairs, university professors, authors and.artists. They have
indicated that they will continue to speak out against the plan-
ned visit: «We are very much disturbed by the news that
Shamir will visit Japan on September 6-10th. He was foreign
minister at the time of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.
This invasion left 20,000 people dead, 30,000 injured and
600,000 homeless. It also brought with it the massacre of over
1,500 Palestinians in Beirut. Shamir bears primary responsibil-
ity for this tragic war, as confirmed by the International
People’s Tribunal held in Japan in 1983. With regard to the
massacre of Palestinians, even Israel’s own investigation
committee indicated that responsibility lay with the Israeli gov-
ernment. .
«During the 1930s and 40s, Shamir was a leading
member of a Jewish terrorist group in Palestine and involved in
terrorist training. It was also reported that his group was
responsible for the assassination of Britain’s High Commis-
sioner Lord Moyne in Cairo in 1944, as well as the assassina-
tion of UN Mediator Count Folke Bernadotte in Jerusalem in
1948, and for the massacre of 200 Palestinians in Deir Yassin
in the same year.
«Shamir is also leader of the Likud coalition in the Israeli
government. This coalition has suppovied a policy of annexa-
tion and colonization of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which
were brought under Israeli occupation following the 3rd Middle
East war in 1967, and expelling Palestinians from these areas,
along with annexation of East Jerusalem and the Golan
Heights...»
Demonstration vs. Shamir visit
On September 6th, Japanese people in Tokyo
demonstrated in protest of Shamir’s visit. The demonstrators
were wearing the Palestinian black and white scarf (hatta) and
shouting slogans of solidarity with the struggle of the Palesti-
nian people under the leadership of the PLO, and condemning
Israel and Shamir as an internationally known terrorist. The
demonstrators gathered at a rally where speakers from the ten
groups organizing the event spoke.
