The Committee for Black Americans for Truth about the Middle East (1970): “We stand with the Palestinian people in their efforts to preserve their revolution, and oppose its attempted destruction by American Imperialism aided by Zionists and Arab reactionaries… Zionism is a reactionary racist ideology that justifies the expulsion of the Palestinian people from their homes and lands, and attempts to enlist the Jewish masses of Israel and elsewhere in the service of imperialism to hold back the Middle East revolution” ( The Committee for Black Americans for Truth about the Middle East ,”An Appeal by Black Americans Against United States Support for the Zionist Government of Israel”, The New York Times, 1 November 1970 and quoted in Black for Palestine, “An Appeal by Black Americans Against United States Support for the Zionist Government of Israel”, 1 November 1970: http://www.blackforpalestine.com/1970-black-nyt-statement.html ).
