While one could argue that prime blame rests with the Israeli government which waged an illegal war and occupation of that country for so many years, at least some must be shouldered by Arafat.

In his famous speech at the UN in 1974, Arafat had told the international community that he had a gun in one hand and an olive branch in the other.

The development of production in the Donets Basin shows a considerable general improvement over last summer’s catastrophic position; and this is largely due to the improvement of production in small mines, to their being exploited along the lines of state capitalism.
