UN General Assembly
1964

204. If the main objective of the United Nations is to preserve international peace and security, and to see to it that human rights should be observed; if, furthermore, the objective of the United Nations is to defend the high principles and lofty purposes of the United Nations Charter, would it not be appropriate to ask by what right is one permitted to uproot a people from their own homeland so as to make room for another people to replace them? All this happened in Palestine under the aegis of the United Nations. 205. The people of Saudi Arabia cannot divest themselves of the Palestine problem. The whole world knows that until 1948 the overwhelming majority of the native population of Palestine was Arab, with a maximum of 50,000 to 60,000 native Jews. Where are the people constituting this overwhelming majority now? They were expelled by force and intimidation, and driven out of their own country on the grounds that over 2,000 years ago there were Jews in Palestine.
