_ Re: Report of XIV Congress of the Communist Party of Israel, May 31 - June 3, 1961; Summary of Speech of Comrade Tawfik Tubi The cultural aspect of Arab policy of the ruling Ben-Gurion, clique is just as bad as every other one. Ben-Guridiuses every possible chance to boast of how he has brought the Arabs of Israel a higher standard of living particularly if education.as compared with the standards enjoyed by the Arabs of neighboring states. This is a lie ag Statistics will prove. Whereas, in 1960, the proportion of high school graduates to the population of iraq and Syria was one to 1,000 inhabitants and in Lebanon one to 700, in Israel there was one high school graduate to 2,360 inhabitants. As a natural result the total number of Arab students at the Hebrew University did not even reach the 100 mark, One should not wonder at such a state of affairs, in view of Lubrani's declaration that it would be easier to manage the Arabs if they remained woodcutters and water carriers, It is absolutely clear that the end to this situation can only be brought about by means of an active and relentless struggle. For this, we must extend and strengthen the unity and solidarity of all Arab and Jewish progressive forces, in the light of our Marxist-Leninist conception. Among the Arabs an important part may be played by the popular Arab Front which we must support and fortify. The Arab masses consistently stand against imperialism and for the forces of freedom wherever ‘the struggle may take place: Egypt in 1956; Iraq in 1958, and the Congo, Taos, Cuba and Angola today. ‘They are against Ben-Gurion here in israel Since he is the servant of imperialism and they are against his aim for Israel to be used by his masters as the instrument of those masters. One of our main tasks 1s to fight against Arab bourgeois nationalism, whose upholders are precisely Ben-Gurion lackeys among the Arab masses. We must increase our efforts to bring about their downfall sliiultaneously with the struggle of the Jewish progressive forces, which has made Ben-Gurion's position more and more precarious, ~ 5 - My-emeni
