[Text] On 16 July, during a meeting with Libyan Arab military students who are studying
abroad, the leader of the revolution stressed the need to purge Arab soil of all absurdities
and evil influences through a popular revolution, the basis of which should be the revolu-
tionary committee movement. This movement must spread everywhere and it must mobilize
the new generation with awareness and proper knowledge so that it will not fall victim
to deception and [word indistinct].
He pointed out that as a result of the absurdities and evil influences existing on Arab
soil and because of the absence of popular revolution and the revolutionary committee
movement, we today see the capital of Lebanon besieged by the Zionists while the Arabs
are pretending to weep as they watch powerlessly. This is a very good example of the
Arab state of decline and retreat. The Israelis know that they are the faithful guardians
of [passage indistinct].
The leader warned the students about the hostile forces engaged in a frenzied attack on
the Arab nation, seeking to devour its flesh. Libya has become a target because it is the
moving force in the Arab homeland and the hostile forces know that if Libya succeeds in
its struggle, colonialism and Zionism will lose because through Libya's revolutionary
revival a civilized and scientific solution was found for its problems and for the first
time man was liberated and his humanity, power, wealth and fighting spirit were restored.
Libya does not rely on a traditional army but on its militarized people. This represents
a great danger to its enemies because a militarized people is not likely to accept defeat.
It must triumph or die.
The leader explained that for the first time the fear of the masses has been eliminated
in the Arab homeland. In other revolutions, those who staged the revolution were raised
to their position by the masses but as soon as they established a firm foothold they became
a curse on the masses, its enemies and fascist oppressors. In Libya, however, the masses
have become allies of the leaders, everything is decided in their favor and they are being
invited to seize power and encouraged to practice it.
The opposite is true of other regimes. The masses are dominated, kept under close watch
and oppressed so they will not acquire power. The Arab compatriots remain oppressed,
subdued and banished from power. They remain outside the battle and are not allowed to
engage in politics or to acquire arms. They are required to submit, surrender to and kneel
in front of the enemy when the ruler himself is submitting to the enemy.
The brother leader spoke about the barbaric Zionist invasion of Lebanon and the current
Arab siutation. He explained that the revolutionaries have drawn their conclusions from
events: Because of the lack of a unified and firm Arab stand, the Zionist invasion could
be extended to any other Arab capital. He noted that the Zionist enemy seeks to secure
its borders in occupied Palestine and to subjugate the entire Arab area along its security
zone so that it can build a Zionist, racist and clerical empire at the expense of the
underdeveloped Arabs. The brother leader noted that the Great 1 September Revolution
warned the Arabs time and again about the dangers of Zionism. The Arab rulers, however,
did not heed the revolutionary warning about the expansionist plans of the Zionist enemy.

The brother leader affirmed that imperialism, Zionism and reaction are today planning to
hand over Lebanon to the isolationists, to expel the Palestinians and to replace them with
a multinational force just as they did in the Sinai. This is what will happen in other Arab
countries in the future. The brother leader also explained that failure to convene the Arab
summit means the Arab rulers have rejected the idea of repelling Zionism in Lebanon while
affirming that they are in agreement with the United States, the Zionists and the isolationists
over what is happening there. He described the attitude of the Arab rulers toward the events
in Lebanon as defeatist and premeditated and noted that this greatly endangers Arab survival.
