Transcribed from the clipping

“Surely not every group of Arabs everywhere is unconditionally entitled to the right of self-determination.”

Context added by this archive

An op-ed, from Oberlin, Ohio, arguing the position in its own headline. Kept in the archive precisely because it is explicit: the denial of Palestinian self-determination was not a subtext in the American paper of record in 1980, it was a byline.
