...hijacking of one El Al airliner, the shooting up of two others, the bombing of the Tel Aviv central bus station and a Jerusalem supermarket, and the blowing up of the Aramco pipeline-its most recent exploit. It is led by left-leaning Dr. George Habash, 44, a Palestinian Arab from Lydda who long ago turned from medicine to the violent practice of Palestine politics. Last week, in a rare interview, TIME Correspondent Lee Griggs talked with Habash in PFLP headquarters in Amman and heard a typical fedayeen voice-fanatical, boastful, uncompromising. Some questions and answers...

...Palestinian, and this phrase shocked me: "The Palestinian children were being taught as their primary subject hatred for Israel." It's not true. I am 20 years old now, and from the time my father left Tiberias in 1948 until the 1967 war, we never spoke of Israel in our house.

...imperialism. Some diplomats believe that it would help if the Israelis at least stated their willingness in principle to withdraw from the occupied territories, provided that their other legitimate security needs were met.

...REFUGEES. Jordan's King Hussein conjectures that few Palestinians are willing to return to a Jewish state. Nevertheless, the U.S. urges a plebiscite offering a choice of return or compensation. The fedayeen would doubtless make the outcome meaningless by turning out a sizable yes vote in order to prove that the Palestinian issue is still volcanic, and threaten to overwhelm Israel with Arabs...
