164. In the Near East, in Palestine, in the very heart of the Arab world, an incontestable denial of justice, whose inhumanity and all-embracing character escapes nobody, has deprived more than a million Arabs of their hearth and home and condemned them for the last thirteen years to crowded refugee camps and reduced them to living on international charity. Furthermore, this denial of justice has resulted in the creation of what is in fact an imperialist base, a constant threat to peace and stability in this area of the world and a jumping-off point for colonialist enterprises of all kinds. No piecemeal solution of this or that aspect of the problem can put an end to this perpetual threat. On tile contrary, only a radical attack on the roots of the evil can wipe out the problem and thus restore security and re-establish stability in this sector of the world.
