From the introduction:

This Dossier on Palestine strives to clarify:

* Why and how Palestinians have been dispossessed as a people from their mother soil, and why Israel continues to occupy their land and attack their sovereign government in explicit oppostion to every norm of morality, justice and law:

* Why Israel lives outside of and places itself above the rule of law, and the principles on which it is based, including opposition to the use of force to settle conflicts within nations and between nations;

* Why the United States has proclaimed the Middle East a sphere for its own national interest and anextension of its own territory; and

* Why so many conflicts have takenplace in this oil-rich region in such a relatively short period.
