Side A:
Al-Qadhāfī believed that Arabs, Africans and other third world peoples should have merged with the USA to form an effective lobby in US elections like the Jews did. So that they could be a recognized political pressure power by American presidents. Al-Qadhāfī commented on the Bosnia and Herzegovina issue in terms of the Yugoslavian war. This issue should not occupy minds of Arabs because Muslims of Bosnia are not Arabs but ethnically Slavic, al-Qadhāfī says. He expresses his objection on the Arab leaders’ who support the American situation in the Yugoslavian war obediently to the western desire. At the same time, he shows his sentiment with Muslims and asserts his refusal to expelling any groups out of their lands either Serbs, or Muslims, where they have been emerged and cannot get ethnically separated. Al-Qadhāfī criticized NATO for what al-Qadhāfī considered as bad endeavors to control the world, and refer to the probability of forming an alliance among the third world countries; the African, Arabs, and Yugoslavians to resist NATO imperial ambitions.
A big number of workers have been deported from Libya due to the chaos they caused and diseases they have brought into Libya, al-Qadhāfī argues, but they would be allowed to go back again after their legal and health conditions had been verified. Furthermore, he encourages the civil relations Libya and Egypt have and that Egyptian workers should go back to Libya.
Side B:
The United States has relocated its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Al-Qadhāfī wondered how the USA can do that while it requires Libya to obey to the Security Council decisions. Subsequently, Rabin (Prime Minister of Israel) allegedly declared he will never let Jerusalem turn into another Berlin and be divided, while Security Council resolution 242 stated that Israel would have to go back to 1967 borders, which prevent Israel from controlling the whole Jerusalem. Al-Qadhāfī resumed asserting on Palestinian rights of establishing the Palestinian state from the sea (Mediterranean Sea) to the river (Jordan River). Al-Qadhāfī states that it would be better for Palestinians to stay in the sea than going to shelters in other countries, till the world realizes that their problem has still not been solved.
Additionally, the US has built a maritime military base close to Bahrain and that is, according to Al-Qadhāfī, a new kind of colonization in the region. In his response to a journalist's question on how relevant these military bases are to Israel, he explained that this is a part of a bigger sustainable strategy aiming at creating a new Middle East, where Israel can be the dominant power over the region. Then, he went back to criticize the Barcelona conference which will impose its control over the Arab west region. He compares it to the Bagdad pact.
