Four Million Palestinian Refugees ‘Alienated, Dispossessed, Amputated’

Hatem I. Hussaini, acting director, Palestine Information Office, Washington DC

Transcribed from the clipping

The paper’s own introduction: "Americans generally have heard and heard more about the Israeli point of view than about that of the Palestinians. Supporters of the Palestinians have contended that their side of the story has not been adequately told. In answer to this, The World-Herald sought out the writer, who provided this commentary."

Context added by this archive

The same newspaper Sara Pahl writes to in 2018 asking why it carries no coverage. Forty years earlier it went looking for a Palestinian to write for it.
