IT IS difficult for us to conceive the reality of the circumstances, under the military rule of the Israeli regime, in which the Palestinian people are now forced to live.
Prior to the second world war, Jewish settlers had managed to acquire only 6 per cent of historic Palestine — the land to the west of the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Now Palestinians are confined to 7 per cent of land within Israel — living there as second-class citizens. In the rest of the land, occupied by Israel since 1967, they live under the diktat of military orders, not subject to legal or democratic control but instead the sole prerogative of the Israeli military commander.
