Re: Report of XIV Congress of the Communist Party of Israel, May 31 - June 3, 1961; Summary Of Speech of Comrade Tawfik Tubi Nevertheless, in accordance with the special conditions of our country and with the history of the relations between the Jewish and Arab peoples, the policy of national oppression of the Israeli Arabs has taken on a Special character and sometimes appears as a racist line of action whose purpose is to liquidate the Arab national group by uprooting and dispersing it. This new stage of that old policy began hardly two months after the conquest of the Arab areas during the years 19481949, when the inhabitants of a number of Arab villages were deported, even by force. These operations were suspended only under the pressure of the struggle initiated against them by the Communist Party (CP), which mobilized both the Arab masses and the democratic Jewish forces. However, the reactionary rulers of Israel refused to give up their aims. They merely changed their ways and means of carrying them out. Ben-Gurion's policy towards the Arabs in Israel is a function of his policy towards the neighboring Arab states. His objective is to create a fait accompli which may enable him to maintain the present status quo and avoid recognizing the Palestinian-Arab peoples! right to self. determination. Uri Lubrani recognized this when he affirmed that the factors ruling the Government's policies towards the Arabs were land and security, which must be understood as land robbery and muzzling the victims to prevent them from protesting. To carry out this policy, the Ben-Gurion clique has set up a special apparatus - the Military Government.
