I was expelled from the Party once again, during the period of the Six-Day-War in Israel [46]. In the party meeting the letter from the central committee of the Party was read to us. It was about the termination of diplomatic relations with Israel [47]. I took the floor and said that the Soviet Union had supported the foundation of that state back in 1948 and Israel was the progeny of the Soviet Union. Now the Soviet Union is playing the game to be in favor of the Arabs, the bigger Arabic world. It is historically clear that diplomatic relations with Israel will be regained.
That was my speech and the KGB [48] was informed of it. Again, they wanted to expel me from the Party. I said that I wasn’t willing to be a hypocrite, that I thought our life would be better if we would be able to talk in the party meeting about what we are talking about at home. That was the way I was thinking and expressed myself. Again, I got away with that.
