Summary
This document appears to be a page from a House Oversight report detailing political divisions within a legal 'guild' (likely the National Lawyers Guild) during the 1970s regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. It describes a delegation trip organized by Abdeen Jabara and funded by the PLO, which produced a report highly critical of Israel while allegedly ignoring PLO terrorism. The text also references controversial statements made by Daniel Berrigan and the resulting schism among left-wing lawyers, including William Kunstler.
