The PLO’s goal is equal rights, say Palestinians in America

Transcribed from the clipping

“Those who support Palestinian hopes for a homeland wonder why… could work out an existence where all had equal social and political rights.” The piece counts “about 732,000 in the West Bank and about 400,000 in Gaza” and notes that “about half of all Palestinians are now under Israeli rule.”
