101. UNRWA is the only remaining link between the 1,200,000 Palestinians and the United Nations. The responsibility of preserving this Agency lies on the shoulders of the United Nations, and especially on those big Powers which played a decisive role In the colonial plot which created the refugee problem. It is, therefore, the duty of the United Nations and those big Powers to strengthen the Agency and oppose the sinister attempts aimed at liquidating it. No wonder Israel is striving to liquidate it, as its presence is the terrifying ghost and lasting evidence which indicts the crime of Zionism and condemns the very existence of Israel. 102. Everyone will agree that the funds of the Agency are insufficient for the bare subsistence of the Palestine refugees. We therefore expect the United Nations to take all possible measures to protect Arab property in Palestine and the income derived therefrom. The Palestine refugees who look forward to the day of their return to their usurped homes and country reject all attempts aimed at destroying their identity and liquidating their rights.
