UN General Assembly

113. Second, Israel has no intention whatsoever of allowing the displaced and dispossessed Palestinians to return to their homes and property, although such return is in accordance with their inalienable, natural rights, with their clearly-stated wishes, and with the numerous resolutions adopted by the competent organs of the United Nations. 114. Israel, nevertheless, is prepared to call for a conference on the refugees; but the true purpose of that conference is to consecrate their displacement, and its principal function is to bestow legitimacy upon what Israel has already accomplished in its programme of emptying Palestine of the Palestinian people and refilling it with transplanted aliens. Apart from its purpose and intended function, that proposed conference is noteworthy also for its composition. It is Israel’s design that neither the United Nations, nor the Palestinian Arab people, should participate in that conference.
