Transcribed from the clipping

“Thousands of Israeli Arabs held peaceful demonstrations today against the Government’s land requisition policies.

The protests marked the annual observance of ‘Land Day’… Some 3,500 people crowded a schoolyard in Nazareth for a Communist-sponsored rally at which anti-Government speeches were punctuated by rhythmic chants of ‘In blood and spirit shall we redeem Galilee.’”

Context added by this archive

By 1981 the paper calls it the annual observance. The chant is the same one printed in 1977.
