64. In fact, the problem of refugees in Palestine, which is one of the gravest problems dealt with by the United Nations, is enough to substantiate what I have just said. It was argued that the Jews needed a part of Palestine as they were persecuted and driven out from certain European countries. It may be seen now how the position has been reversed, how the Jews have taken possession of the largest, most important and most fertile part of Palestine, and how the legitimate owners have been driven out of their homes into neighbouring countries to suffer hardships and privations and expose the whole of the Middle East to the gravest material and moral dangers. Was this what was meant by the partition resolution of the United Nations? And is it in this manner that its justice is upheld and the principles of its Charter applied? Is it not clear now that United Nations policy in Palestine has from the start been a flagrant mistake, and that it is imperative and for the best that the United Nations should hasten to admit that mistake and work forthwith to rectify it and remove its grave consequences?
