1959

93. We cannot understand the paralysis of the United Nations in the fact of decisions which seem to have been taken at a certain moment, in a sudden desire for justice, but which are being increasingly distorted, possibly in the hope that they will finally become meaningless or that the settlement of the Palestinian Arabs within the border of other brother States may pave the way for their complete integration. The head of the Lebanese Government stated from this rostrum [811th meeting] that it would be in vain to count on any kind of weakening of the determination of the refugees to return to their homeland. In the name of what justice did the Polish or German Jew, however worthy of respect his sufferings in his own country might have been, establish himself on the soil and in the home of the Palestinian Arab, who becomes in his turn "the wandering Arab"?
