“It also became perfectly clear that America could under no circumstances act as an intermediary and that America and Israel were one party in a colonialist campaign against the Arab nation and the Palestinian people. The events of the last few days in New York have revealed the bitter truth and illustrated the Zionist domination even of the American people itself. This great people is suffering from zionism just as we suffer from Zionism in our part of the world. That reminds us of the remarks of a loyal diplomat representing his country in Cairo—I think his name was Ness—who said that the-bonds linking Washington and Tel Aviv were stronger than those between Washington and Hawaii or Alaska. Time magazine has mentioned that every Israeli obtains $600 from the United States of America annually.”

“But the ink had hardly dried on that document when an American communiqué was issued stating that the words "national rights" had not been mentioned because that would imply the right to self- determination and statehood. Mention of that was deliberately omitted because the Americans do not endorse the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. Then came the American-Israeli statement of 5 October 1977, which cancelled and completely nullified the intention and meaning of the Soviet-American statement. That was after the statement by President Carter himself in which the solidarity and the alliance of the United States with the enemy was revealed.”

“It can only be attained by the restoration of what has been usurped, by preventing the usurper from continuing in his criminal acts, by enforcing justice, by recognizing rights and by opposing aggression. Such a solution lies in the solidarity and unity of the Arab nation, for in the final analysis that nation is on the side of justice. 100. The events that have taken place in New York in recent days in connexion with what has been called a solution are somewhat comical when evaluated in terms of the actual state of affairs regarding such a solution. The Soviet-American statement issued on 1 October 1977, which some considered contained positive elements, mentioned for the first time the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”

“Up to now there has been no official map for what is called the State of Israel, as there is for every other State in the world. The map of Israel, according to the expansionist plans of international zionism that were endorsed several decades ago, extends from the Nile to the Euphrates. 99. The lesson learned from the struggle of peoples has proved the truth of the views of the late leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser, namely, that what was taken by force can only be restored by force. We in the Arab world hate war more than do any other peoples, but when war is in the cause of liberation and in the cause of human dignity, it is legitimate. The Holy Koran says: "Warfare is incumbent upon you, yet it is hateful to you." The solution of the so-called Middle East problem cannot be reached by communiqués and conferences.”

“It is the Zionists who reject all efforts aimed at achieving a genuine peace. The racist- Zionist regime has best expressed its aggressive nature and its racist practices by proclaiming the occupied Arab territories as "liberated lands". The Zionists continue to establish racist settlements in occupied Arab territories. It is not I alone who say this; this was said by the representative of the terrorist gang when he spoke here two days ago. Israel's racist policies are based on continued expansion and aggression against the Arab nations and against the Palestinian people. Its efforts to achieve the objective of zionism-namely, of establishing a Zionist entity encompassing the entire area between the Nile and the Euphrates-is becoming more obvious every day.”

“Human rights cannot be sacred in some parts of the world and ignored in other parts. No State, whether Arab or non- Arab, has the right to proclaim itself a guardian of the Palestinian people or its revolution. 98. In their efforts to divide the Arab nation, the imperialists refer to some Arab States as rejectionist and to others as non-rejectionist and moderate. But what is it that is being rejected? In our opinion, the Arab peoples are all in agreement on rejecting efforts to dictate the terms of surrender to them and to perpetuate the effects of aggression. There are no differences between the States of the Arab nation with regard to this point. We all reject the dictation of the terms of peace. It is the Zionist enemy that rejects the decisions of the United Nations and of other international organizations.”

“But the peace that we seek is a genuine peace; not a peace based on the endorsement of injustice and the legitimization of aggression. 96. We need a humanitarian peace based on the supremacy of law over aggression. We want a genuine peace not based on racial supremacy or the legitimization of aggression. 97. We do not have to look far to see the racist nature of the Zionist regime. We have recently seen the expulsion of many American blacks of the Jewish faith from Israel, which is a further proof of what we say and reminds us of the past. Peace can only be attained by allowing the people of Palestine to fulfil their aspirations for freedom in their homeland and by restoring to them their right to return to their homeland and that same right to self-determination which is enjoyed by other nations of the world.”

“He spoke very distinctly in the name of the United States about the legitimacy of the settlements that have been created in defiance of the United Nations. I would ask that intransigent representative of the terrorist State, the representative of Menachem Begin, that great terrorist well known in Deir Yasin: what was the fate that befell Hitler? What was the fate of nazism? What was the fate of Italian fascism? 94. We in the Arab nations went through the experience of colonialism long ago, at the time of the so-called Crusades. There can never be peace unless the nature of racist Zionism, of which its representative boasts, is changed. 95. These assertions we make carry no implication that we are opposed to peace. No one is more in favour of peace than we are.”

“The desperate colonial attempts to divert the course of the Arab revolution by bestowing legitimacy on the occupier will definitely not succeed in the long run, and if they do succeed in dividing the Arab nation and obstructing its unity and solidarity, such success will only be temporary. The Arab nation is a creative force which is capable of overcoming setbacks and of achieving victories. Those who know the history of our nation will not find it difficult to understand the present circumstances in the area and what the future of the area will be. 93. Two days ago the terrorist Dayan saw fit to threaten even the United Nations. Sometimes we find him speaking in the name of the United States, saying that that country will oppose any move to change the Security Council resolution.”

“Without American aid and its support of the Zionist aggressors, the situation in the area would never have reached such a degree of deterioration. 91. It is rather strange, but not surprising, that colonialists should suffer from a lack of logic. Thus we note that the United States of America denounces the establishment of settlements; but who provides Israel with the financial means to establish those settlements? And who provides Israel with arms to impose those settlements by force? Regrettably this is the nature of imperialism and of aggressors. The situation poses a threat to peace in the territory. I repeat, without American imperialist support, the Zionist enemy would not have been able to flout the Charter of the United Nations and Its resolutions and disregard human rights and values. 92.”

“Therefore, it is absurd that the imperialist forces should be attempting to trample on the rights of the people of. Palestine and to undermine their resistance and their national aspirations. 90. I have stated that the Arab nation seeks peace. But what is peace? It is not the kind of peace that imperialist forces seek to impose on the Arab nation and on the people of Palestine. It is not the peace of the imperialist Powers which are seeking to pose as arbitrators. How can an aggressor be an arbitrator? How can the United States of America be an arbitrator? Israel is nothing but a fortress for colonialism, for world imperialism and for the United States of -America. The organic interrelationship between the masters and their agents is deep-rooted.”

“What is described as the Middle East question is in fact a question of racist colonialism, a colonialism that has uprooted the people of Palestine from their homeland, has occupied Arab territories and continues to perpetuate aggression against the Arab nation. 88. We in the Arab world seek peace and we also cherish freedom. We believe that peace cannot be attained unless the nature of the racist regime in occupied Palestine is radically changed. The Arab nation as a whole, and the people of Palestine in particular are the victims of the imperialist Zionist aggression. There is an aggressor and there is a victim. If we seek a genuine peace, then it must be realized that no solution can be reached unless the aggression is eliminated and the victim is assisted. 89.”

“That interrelation was best described in the historic General Assembly resolution equating Zionism with racism and a form of racial discrimination. 86. We in the Arab world, like those on the African continent, are involved in a struggle against inhuman racist regimes, representing a small alien white minority. These regimes were created by colonialism. The Smith regime and the racist regime in South Africa were created by the same colonialism as that which handed over Palestine to the racist minority now ruling it. The imperialism that supports the racist Zionists in occupied Palestine is the same imperialism as that which supports the racist regimes in southern Africa. As imperialism has tried to divert the course of revolution in Africa, it has tried to divert the course of revolution in occupied Palestine and the Arab nations. 87.”

“From past experience we have learned that the United Nations should be careful lest it be used as a means to obstruct the struggle of the people of Zimbabwe. 84. Some parts of our continent remain occupied. The continued occupation of the island of Mayotte, which is an indivisible part of the Comoro Islands, constitutes a violation of the sovereignty of a State Member of the United Nations and of the OAU. 85. The situation on the African continent, including the struggle against racist regimes, cannot be separated from the situation in the Arab world and the struggle of the Palestinian and Arab peoples against the racist and aggressive regime in occupied Palestine and other occupied Arab territories. The racist regimes in occupied Palestine, in South Africa and in Zimbabwe are fundamentally interrelated.”

“The leader of our great First of September Revolution, Colonel Muammar Al-Qaddafi, explained our strategic policy regarding the cause of liberation on the African continent when he said: "We do not consider ourselves independent as long as other parts of our continent suffer colonialism and racism." 83. The delegation of the Jamahiriya has described our country's position concerning the question of the people of Zimbabwe in recent days in the Security Council. We are in favour of any initiative aiming at the elimination of the racist regime of Smith. By this we mean that we completely support and endorse the struggle of the people of Zimbabwe, under the leadership of the Patriotic Front, to overthrow the racist regime.”

“As Africans, we are the peoples of the world most capable of appreciating peace, because we have struggled for many years, sacrificing millions of lives. We, more than others, value peace; this love of peace makes us more committed and resolute in the cause of freedom-genuine and indivisible freedom. The people of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, having fought for scores of years against Italian Fascist colonialism and imperialism, for the liquidation of foreign bases in our country and for the control .of foreign monopolies, have supported the peoples of Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa in their struggle for freedom. Our people has extended assistance and will continue to extend assistance to these peoples in the cause of the achievement of their freedom, which is also our freedom.”

“Therefore they have resorted to subterfuge—instead of opposing the liberation movement, they go along with it, seeking to divert its course to serve their interests and the interests of their racist puppets. We wonder: since when has American and British colonialism been known to support the peoples' causes? Was it not Britain, aided by America, that created the regime of Ian Smith, the racist regime in South Africa and the Zionist regime in Palestine? These colonial Powers are the ones which supply the regimes of Vorster and Smith with weapons. These colonialist Powers also extend their political support of the racist regimes, illegitimately deploying a privilege which they have accorded themselves, namely, the privilege to veto the fulfilment of the aspirations and hopes of the peoples in those areas. 82.”

“The racist regimes there, supported by imperialism and colonialism, persist in pursuing their inhuman policies, in total disrespect of the whole world. The peoples of those areas, however, supported by progressive forces in Africa and in the world, have been able to inflict severe blows on these racist regimes despite the fact that they are supported by the forces of colonialism and imperialism. 81. The victories won by the peoples of Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia are also victories over colonialism and imperialism, which are the arch-enemies of the independence, freedom and aspirations of the peoples. The forces of evil and the imperialist supporters of racism were overwhelmed by the victories achieved by our peoples in Africa.”

“Yet, despite these efforts, tension continues to prevail in some parts of the world, and the forces of injustice, colonialism, Zionism and racism continue to perpetrate aggression and continue in their attempts at domination and manipulation in obstruction of the efforts of our Organization. 80. The straggling peoples of Africa, to which we are proud to belong, have been able to achieve magnificent victories against the forces of colonial domination in recent years—in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, and Djibouti. However, certain parts of the continent which are dear to us still suffer from the worst forms of racism and colonialist manipulation: namely, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia.”

“The delegation of my country is also happy that the Republic of Djibouti, having joined the OAU and the League of Arab States, has joined the international community The independence of Djibouti and its admission to membership in the United Nations represents a victory for the African peoples against the forces of imperialistic domination and the liquidation of one of the bastions of colonialism on our great continent. We are confident that the presence among us of the Republic of Djibouti will enhance our efforts to fulfil the common hopes and aspirations of our peoples. 79. The United Nations has devoted considerable efforts to the cause of peace and towards achieving freedom and prosperity for the peoples of the world.”

“The admission of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam to membership in the United Nations constitutes a victory for the forces of peace and justice—a victory for the peoples of the third world against the forces of terrorism and domination. The great people of Viet Nam have achieved the greatest victory in modern history against the largest imperialist Power. They have now again won a political victory over the very forces which tried, by illegitimate means, to obstruct their revolutionary progress. With a wealth of experience obtained over 30 years of struggle, the people of Viet Nam, in joining this international Organization, will constitute an effective force enhancing its efforts to ensure the interests of the peoples and to eliminate domination, manipulation and monopoly. 78.”

“Waldheim, continuing in his post and performing his responsibilities with the same high standards and indefatigable commitment to serving our Organization, which, we are sincerely confident, will be able to fulfil the hopes and aspirations of all peace-loving and freedom-loving peoples. We were also happy that the Secretary-General visited the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya on 23 August last. The visit provided a favourable opportunity for the exchange of views on particularly important issues, and I should like to emphasize the support and co-operation of the Jamahiriya for his efforts in the interest of freedom and justice. 77. The delegation of my country is extremely happy that two new States, namely, the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam and the Republic of Djibouti, have joined the international community.”

“Our pleasure is the result not only of our awareness of your personal ability and qualifications, which we are confident will be an important factor in the success of our deliberations, but also the result of the brotherly and strategic relations that bind our two friendly countries and our countries' leaders, who both struggle, side by side, within the framework of the non-aligned movement for the achievement of freedom, justice and international peace and security. 75. It is also my pleasure, Mr. President, to express the appreciation of the delegation of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to your predecessor, Mr. Amerasinghe, the representative of Sri Lanka, for the services he rendered to the international community during the last session. 76. We are also gratified to see the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr.”

“73. In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful and the Compassionate, allow me first, on behalf of the delegation of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, to express our condolences to our brothers in Yemen for the tragic death of their late leader, President Al-Hamdi, who was a victim of betrayal by the enemies of progress. At this time, when we present our condolences to the brotherly peoples of Yemen, we hope that this shedding of innocent blood will give those people an impetus forward for their own benefit and that of the Arab nation. 74. Mr. President, allow me to express, on behalf of the delegation of the Socialist' People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, our pleasure on your election to preside over the thirty-second session of the United Nations General Assembly.”
