Transcribed from the clipping

“About 10,000 Israeli Arabs, along with scores of Israeli Jewish supporters, gathered today in this village in northern Galilee to protest the Israeli Government’s policy of expropriating Arab-owned lands… A number of speakers accused the Israelis of overreacting to the demonstration last year and deplored the Government’s seizure of Galilee lands for a housing project.”
