34. Today it is still necessary to redress the historic wrong done to the Palestinian Arabs who were forced into exile by a deliberate campaign of terror, the sole aim of which was to ensure the establishment and maintenance of an exclusive Zionist State, whatever the cost in terms of human suffering. The problem created then will not fade away and disappear. The Palestinian people have not, and never will, allow themselves to be swept off the stage of history in order that the supposed wrongs of a people lost in the mists of antiquity should be redressed. The Palestinians are not ghosts from the old past. They are physically with us today; we see their sufferings; we hear their anguished voices; we cannot, and should not, turn a deaf ear to their demands for justice.
