These lyrics from the album recently released by the Clash unequivocably advocate acts of sedition and treason. The group attempt to evade responsibility for its actions by stating "warning--do not read these words while listening to this record," but we know what they want.

Sometimes their fate is terrible. In A Distant Episode, a linguistics professor studying North African dialects stumbles foolishly into...

...first aerial clash between Syria and Israel in five years, and it had frightening overtones; similar clashes preceded the start of the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli wars. The U.S. expressed its "serious concern" to Jerusalem over the use of the sophisticated F-15s, which were given to Israel with the proviso that they be used for defensive purposes only. Premier Menachem Begin rejected the protest, arguing that the aerial attacks on suspected terrorist positions were "only done for the sake of legitimate national defense...
