MY friend and I were on a cross-country flight from San Diego to Washington, DC on Saturday, September 18, 1982.
We arrived at our friends’ home with gleaming smiles, but were received with dejected expressions.
“Haven’t you heard the news?” they asked. “What news?” we replied.

The Israeli usurpers have systematically stolen land from the native Palestinians, killed them, brutalized them, and pushed millions into exile or into squalid ghettos.
