At the same time scores of Israeli settlements have already been established on the West Bank Gaza and the Golan The process of colonisation of Arab lands goes rapidly ahead in disregard of objections from nearly every Government in the world including even the American Government These actions of the Israeli Government are in clear defiance of the Resolution 242 They constitute an open rejection of the policy so widely supported in 1967 They are in effect an endeavour to annex all the Arab lands of East Jerusalem the West Bank and Gaza in an expanded Israel and to condemn the Palestinian people to permanent subjection or exile It is a policy which perpetuates injustice and enmity and if pursued further will lead to disaster for everyone including Israel I do not retract the phrase I used long ago about the Israeli settlements in Arab land They are indeed signposts to destruction So when I come to speak of the future I shall consider what chance there can be for a reversal of the present Israeli policy of expansion and domination I believe that there are encouraging signs of a change in Israeli opinion But first I wish to go back to Resolution 242 to review those criticisms which have been made and to suggest additions of major importance I look forward to a day when we shall have two Resolutions Resolution 242 setting out the agreed principles and the second complementary Resolution also unanimous I trust setting out the means and methods of putting the accepted principles into practical effect Now what we need is not a retraction of the principles unanimously agreed thirteen years ago but a clear lead to end the drift and show the way to a secure peace
