55. Among these problems which cry out for solutions and which are still pending, is the question of Palestine, a problem which was created by the United Nations itself. The present instability and explosive tension in the Middle East are the outcome of the creation of Israel by the United Nations. This Organization must admit that the establishment of an alien, artificial State on the Arab soil of Palestine, in the way in which that State was established, was the greatest error ever committed by the United Nations. The hundreds of thousands of Arab inhabitants of Palestine who were driven out of their homeland by the terror of the Israelis and dispersed, or crowded into camps as destitute refugees, are living symbols of what this world Organization has done to an innocent nation and of what it is unable to do to restore right and justice.
