Re: Report of XIV Congress of the Communist Party of Israel; May 31 ~ June 3, 1961; Excerpts From Speech of Comrade Emile Habibi The international unity of our Party has been fortified. Its fibre has been strengthened under the fire of struggle for the future of Israel itself and for the sake of peace, a struggle which our Party has waged against the triple, treacherous attack on Egypt. The struggle of our Jewish comrades, who, in many instances, have stood alone in an atmosphere filled with chauvinisnand anti-Arab incitement, against the reaction of Ben-Gurion aggressiveness, against the bloodshedding on the borders, against the bankrupt Sinai. campaien, against the plunder of the lands and against every act of national oppression. Their fight was for an Arab-Jewish peace arrangement, for the solution to the Palestinian question on the basis of mutual respect br the just national rights of the Arabs and the Jews. They and they alone proclaimed the right of self-determination of the Palestinian-Arabs and the right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland, This struggle has not only strengthened and fortified the international unity of our Arab-Jewish Party, it has also cast aside the obstacles obstructing the road to peace between the Arab peoples and Israel in the march towards the unity and brotherhood of the peoples of our region. This is a great patriotic service which our Party renders the Israelipeople, its future and its welfare. We have repulsed, and will continue to repulse, all attacks on the international unity of our Party. At a time when the "disreputable affair" revealed its ugly role and it has been exposed how it was staged by Ben-Gurion's "Forces of Darkness," let us remember the concentrated attack which those "Forces of Darkness" Launched against the international unity of our Party in February, 1956. No show of reconciliation can absolve the Ben-Gurion junta from its responsibility for the murder of men, women and children,
