16. I wish to reiterate at this juncture that the Arab peoples bear no enmity to the Jews as adherents of a religious faith. What we are unalterably opposed to is the divisive fragmentation and despoliation of the Jewish tradition from the mainstream of human integration as a result of international Zionism, in an age which is striving and surging forward towards a universal system in which loyalties and outlook are based upon the brotherhood of man rather than upon the narrow, bigoted, selfish, racial, religious and self-contained cluster which Israel and Zionism, without doubt, represent. Our position and attitude would have been equally vehement and unequivocal if the crime committed against the people of Palestine had been perpetrated by any other race, religion or ideology.
