TRIPOLI JANA IN ARABIC 1850 GMT 31 MAR 85
((TEXT)) TRIPOLI, 31 MAR (JANA) -- THE BROTHER LEADER OF THE
REVOLUTION DELIVERED A SPEECH AT THE FINAL SESSION OF THE MEETING
OF THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND OF THE ARAB REVOLUTIONARY FORCES IN WHICH
THE DECLARATION AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL STATUTE AND DECISION
NO. 1 OF THE PAN-ARAB COMMAND WERE READ OUT. THE BROTHER LEADER
SAID IN HIS ADDRESS:
WE ALL BELIEVE THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MODERN HISTORY OF
OUR NATION THIS NATION'S REVOLUTIONARIES AND STRUGGLERS MEET AT A
PAN-ARAB LEVEL SUCH AS THIS IN ORDER TO DECIDE TO FIGHT AND PURSUE
AND PRACTICE REVOLUTIONARY VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO LIBERATE AND UNITE
THIS NATION. I FEEL THAT THIS MEETING DID NOT COME ABOUT AS A
RESULT OF SENTIMENTAL REASONS OR AS A REACTION TO SOMETHING, BUT
WAS AN INEVITABLE RESULT OF THIS NATION'S PAINS AND THE DIFFICULT
PERIOD OF LABOR IT EXPERIENCED PRIOR TO GIVING BIRTH TO THIS ACTION.
THE BROTHER LEADER ADDED: I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE MOTIVATED BY
AN (?INNER) FEELING ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT REALIZE HOW DEEP IT IS.
THE ENEMY HAS FINALLY CONVINCED US OF THE NECESSITY OF MEETING,
OF TAKING ACTION, AND OF THE NECESSITY OF VIOLENCE. THIS IS
BECAUSE THE PAINS ENDURED BY OUR NATION ARE VERY BITTER INDEED.
SO MUCH SO THAT THIS NATION HAS BEEN HUMILIATED BEFORE ALL NATIONS
OF THE WORLD. THE ENEMY HAS KILLED, MADE HOMELESS, AND CAPTURED
MANY, UP TO TODAY ((WORD INDISTINCT)) 31 MARCH 1985. THE BROTHER
LEADER REAFFIRMED THAT THE ENEMY'S ARROGANCE WILL CONTINUE AND WILL
NOT STOP AT ANY LIMIT UNLESS WE PUT AN END TO IT. DO NOT BELIEVE
THAT THE ENEMY WILL BE SATISFIED WITH HIS OPPRESSION OF THIS
NATION, AND THE FACT HE IS TEARING IT ASUNDER; HE WILL NOT BE
SATISFIED WITH HIS CONTEMPT FOR THIS NATION. HE WILL NOT BE
SATISFIED AND WILL NOT DECLARED A HALT ON HIS OWN. THE FACT IS
THAT THIS ENEMY IS NOT ONE ENEMY BUT A (?TRIPARTITE) ALLIANCE.
THESE THREE ENEMIES WILL NOT STOP FEEDING ON THE FLESH OF THIS
NATION AND WILL NOT STOP REGARDING THIS NATION AS PREY UNDER THEIR
FEET UNLESS WE STOP THEM. IN ACTUAL FACT THE CONFRONTATION
BETWEEN US AND THIS ENEMY HAS GONE BEYOND (?THE VARIOUS) METHODS,
AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR US EXCEPT VIOLENCE. THIS IS BECAUSE
THE ENEMY HAS ESCALATED HIS ACTIVITIES AGAINST US TO THIS DANGEROUS
DEGREE. THE ENEMY NOW USES MASS ANNIHILATION; IN SABRA, SHATILA,
SIDON, BEIRUT, SOUTHERN LEBANON, AT BAHR AL-BAQR SCHOOL ((SCHOOL
IN EGYPT WHICH THE ISRAELIS BOMBED IN THE WAR OF ATTRITION DURING
THE TIME OF ABD AL-NASIR -- FBIS)) IT IS QUITE CLEAR ON EVERY FRONT
THAT THE ENEMY HAS DECIDED TO ANNIHILATE THIS NATION. HES METHOD
HAS BECOME THE METHOD OF ANNIHILATION. IT IS NOT THE METHOD OF
COLONIALISM WHICH SEEKS DOMINATION ONLY. WE HAVE BEEN EVICTED
FROM OUR HOMES IN PALESTINE AND THE ENEMY NOW WANTS TO EVICT US
FROM LEBANON, SYRIA AND JORDAN. HE IS CONTINUING TO DO SO. THE
ZIONIST ENEMY WHO WORKS WITH ASSURANCE UNDER THE AMERICAN UMBRELLA
IS NOW ENTERING INTO A BATTLE AGAINST US IN ORDER TO REMOVE US
FROM OUR POSITIONS IN ORDER TO CONTROL OUR WATER RESOURCES.
OUR BATTLE AGAINST THE ISRAELIS IS A BATTLE TO CONTROL THE WATER
RESOURCES -- THE RESOURCES OF LIFE. HE WANTS TO OCCUPY THE ARAB
RIVERS IN ORDER TO BRING MORE JEWS TO THE ARAB REGION. THIS CAN

ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY DISPLACING THE ARAB POPULATION. THIS IS
THE METHOD WHICH THIS ENEMY USES WITH THE HELP OF HIS AIR FORCE,
MISSILES, WARSHIPS, AND BARBARIC RAIDS.
THE BROTHER LEADER ALSO SAID THAT AFTER THIS BATTLE THE ENEMY
WILL BEGIN A BATTLE AGAINST US IN ORDER TO CONTROL OUR SOURCES OF
ENERGY. DURING THIS BATTLE THE ENEMY WILL ACHIEVE DOMINATION
OVER OUR SPIRITUAL PLACES AND WILL OCCUPY THEM. HIS OCCUPATION
OF JERUSALEM AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE LATTER INTO HIS OWN
CAPITAL IS A GOOD INDICATION OF THIS TREND. IT IS A FACT THAT THE
ENEMY WILL REACH MECCA AND MADINAH AND MANY OTHER HOLY PLACES.
THE BROTHER LEADER POINTED OUT THAT THE ENEMY USES AGAINST US
A STRATEGIC DRAWN-OUT TACTIC WHICH USUALLY RESULTS IN EXHAUSTION.
IT IS KNOWN IN MILITARY TERMS AS THE (?ARTICHOKE) TACTIC AND
INVOLVES CONTINUING ((THE FIGHT -- FBIS)) UNTIL WE ARE TIRED AND
FATIGUED. IN ACTUAL FACT THIS HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITH REGARD
TO SOME (?COUNTRIES) WHICH HAVE BECOME TIRED OF CONFRONTATION
AND HAVE BEGAN TO SEARCH FOR CAPITULATIONIST SOLUTIONS WITH THE
ENEMY. THIS IS WHAT HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO EGYPT; IN OTHER WORDS
EGYPT FELL VICTIM TO THE TACTIC OF ATTRITION. THE ENEMY WANTS TO
APPLY THE SAME THING TO SYRIA. IN YEARS HE WILL BE ABLE TO USURP
SYRIA BY MAKING IT TIRED AND FATIGUED AND ULTIMATELY FORCING IT
TO ASK FOR NEGOTIATIONS OVER THE GOLAN, AS HAPPENED AT STABLE DAVID.
THE BROTHER LEADER SAID THAT THIS MAKES US THINK THAT IT IS
NECESSARY TO CONSOLIDATE SYRIA'S STEADFASTNESS AND RAISE ITS
MORALE AND INCREASE ITS MATERIAL CAPABILITY SO THAT IT WILL NOT
BECOME FATIGUED AND SO THAT THIS ARTICHOKE TACTIC WILL NOT BE
SUCCESSFUL. THE LEADER SAID THAT THE ENEMY WANTS TO CREATE
CONTINUOUS DISTURBANCE AND COLLAPSE WITHIN THE INTERNAL ARAB
FRONT BY INCITING SECTARIANISM WHICH'NOW CONSTITUTES A DANGER THAT
FACILITATES THE TASK OF THE ENEMY. THE LEADER ADDED THAT THE
GOVERNMENTS HAVE FAILED IN THEIR CONFRONTATION; THE TRADITIONAL
ARMIES HAVE FAILED; THE THEORIES OF OPPRESSION, EXPLOITATION,
COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE, AND THE USE OF MERCENARIES HAVE
FAILED. HE SAID WHAT MADE US MEET IN THIS HALL IS THE FAILURE
OF THE THEORY OF OPPRESSION AND EXPLOITATION AND THE ENEMY'S
'METHOD WHICH REPRESENTS SUCH A DEGREE OF DANGER TO THE FUTURE OF
THE ARAB NATION. EVEN THE INDIVIDUAL SUICIDAL OPERATIONS WHICH
TOOK PLACE AGAINST THE AMERICAN, FRENCH AND ISRAELI FORCES IN
LEBANON ARE IN FACT AN EXPRESSION OF THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO
CAPABILITIES AND METHODS OTHER THAN SUICIDE AND DEATH. IT WAS
AN EXPRESSION OF SOME PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO AWAKEN THE SLEEPING
SPIRIT OF THIS NATION. WHEN FIDA'I FROM THE JAPANESE RED ARMY
CAME AND CARRIED OUT THE LOD OPERATION ((IN ISRAEL -- FBIS))
HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO TEACH THE ARABS THE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE.
BY THAT COURAGEOUS OPERATION THAT JAPANESE SAW THAT THE SPIRIT
OF SACRIFICE OF THE ARABS WAS LACKING AND ASLEEP AND WANTED TO
AWAKEN IT.
THE BROTHER LEADER POINTED OUT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL SUICIDAL
OPERATIONS WHICH WERE CARRIED OUT BY OUR BROTHERS WERE AN
EXPRESSION OF THIS METHOD AND THAT WE HAVE REACHED THE STAGE
WHEREBY WE ARE READY TO DIE AS THESE INDIVIDUALS MINED THEMSELVES
AND DIED. HE SAID THAT WE DO NOT SEE THESE AS ONLY HEROIC

INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS BUT ((PASSAGE INDISTINCT)) THE LEADER ADDED
THAT THESE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTORS WHICH (?MOTIVATE US) AND
MOTIVATE OUR WILL, CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY AND HAVE MADE US
MEET AND FIND OURSELVES IN THIS HALL.
THE BROTHER LEADER REAFFIRMED THAT WE HAVE COME HERE AND HAVE
DECIDED WHAT WE HAVE DECIDED AND THAT WAS AN INEVITABLE
OUTCOME; A RIPE FRUIT, AS THIS ACTION HAS COME IN TIME. THERE IS
NO ALTERNATIVE TO CONFRONTING THE ENEMY WITH VIOLENCE. HE SAID
THAT THE ARAB GOVERNMENTS WHICH HAVE ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, AND
SECURITY CONNECTIONS WITH VARIOUS FORCES OF THE WORLD ((WORDS
INDISTINCT)) AND EVEN THE LIMITED CAPABILITIES OF THE PROGRESSIVE
ARAB STATES SUCH AS LIBYA, SYRIA, ETC. STILL PURCHASE ARMS FROM
ABROAD AND CANNOT MANUFACTURE THESE WEAPONS. THEIR ECONOMIC
CAPABILITIES ARE STILL REGARDED AS BEING SMALL REGARDLESS OF
WHAT THEY MIGHT BE. THE OFFICIAL REGIMES AND
GOVERNMENTS IN FACT CANNOT RISE TO THE LEVEL OF REQUIREMENTS OF
THE CURRENT STAGE. HE ADDED THAT THE ROLE NOW IS THAT OF THE
MASSES; IT IS THE ERA OF THE MASSES. OUR TASK IS NOT THAT OF A
TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP; OUR TASK IS TO INCITE THE MASSES IN ORDER
TO MAKE THEM ENGAGE IN THE BATTLE OF THEIR DESTINY.
