By ABBA S. EBAN
Ambassador of Israel to the
Limited States


The Middle East attracts much
scrutiny in these anxious times
by those concerned for its secur-
ity and progress. Modern Israel
stands at the heart and center of
this ancient region. The land
masses of Europe, Asia and AT
RIGA are all within our neighbor-
ing gaze. The Mediterranean, chief
artery of the western world, and
the Red Sea looking toward the
further East are united in Israel
and in Israel alone by short
bridge of land friendly to free
dom. Our central place in the
world of geography reflects cor,
responding centrality in the realm
of ideals. The far-flung Jewish
dispersion gives us a sense of uni
versal mission in space, which is
further deepened in time, by long
and continuous historic memories
Our democratic heritage, which
we cherish with ardent passion,
inspires a concern, which we
share with others, for the strength
and unity of democratic civiliza
ton.
From this point of vantage,
now come to reState ISraePS posi-
ton on the major political prob.
lens of our region.
The Arab World, Israel and
The West
Anybody coming upon the tur'
bulent Middle Eastern scene en-.
counters vehement expressions OF
Arab resentment against the west
ern world, and especially the us.
by reason of their support of Is
raePs independence. The point is
not whether this resentment eX-
lists; but whether it is just griev-
ance deserving to be allayed-or
an unreasonable neurosis to be re-
futed and denied.
The modern history of the Mid
die East is predominantly the pro-
cess of swift and sudden Arab
emancipation. A traveller to our
region today traverses the boun-
daries of eight sovereign states
The Arizona post., 1953-09-18
The West The East and The Arabs

Our present boundaries rest
upon valid treaties, and contracts
approved by the United Nations
and concluded at its behest. The
Arab governments are themselves
mainly responsible for the proc
esSes whereby these frontiers
were cryStaliZed.
Refugees
World opinion continues to con-
Solidate itself in favor of settling
the Arab refugees in Arab coun-
tries. Progress towards the frank
and full acceptance of this idea
has not yet fully developed, but
the movement is swift and favor
able. (FirSt, it was the Arab gov
erLlments who created the prob
lem by their frank decision to
launch the war out of which this
tragic misery arose. Second, the
Arab governments possess the
full capacity to solve it; for they
alone command the resources of
land and water with which to un-
dertake this reSettlement.)
If Israel with its small area and
limited resources could create
homes for 100000 destitute immi-
grants, it is at least one hundred
times more possible for the Arab
states, so much more laViShly en-
doWed, to find homes for an equi-
Valent number of kinSmen, if only
the will exists.
It would be tragic if the abun-
dant international aid made avail
able in recent years and still con-
tinuing were to be diSsipated on
measures not leading towards a
final settlement. The Israel gov
ernment, for its part, is willing to
cooperate to the fullest possible
extent in such projects of reSettle-
ment in neighboring countries. A
third element of Arab responsible
ity is this: Un addition to their
initial responsibility and their
clear ability to solve it, the Arab
states alone have the ability, aris-
ing from their kinship and ma
tiOnal identity with the refugee
population, to provide conditions
for a full refrigeration, not only

rot one Cf which had its freedom
four decades ago. The Arab peO-
pie has inherited all this OppOr-
tunity after an era of Subjection,
squalor and foreign conquest last
ing for five full centuries. (The
western powers have been the
main architects of this Arab En-
pire. Their sacrifices in two world
wars, and their international ac-
ton i'm recent years, have brought
the Arab peoples with relatively
little sacrifice on their own part,
into this vast political empire.)
Within this majestic process of
Middle Eastern liberation, Israel
at the cost of blood and toll has
achieved it's birth of freedom In
small country less than a hun
dreth of the Arab domain, and
half of that has been reduced by
human neglect to arid desert.)
Look at the Arab map with its
endless stretches of fertile land,
it's huge rivers yet embarrassed,
it's oil wells brimming with wealth
and power, it's manifold sovereign
ties and strong international rep
reSentation. Then look at Israel
developing within the smallest
possible margin of territorial and
economic resources available to
any State - and ask yourselves
frankly: Does the world owe an
apology to the Arabs; or do they
owe gratitude, forbearance and
moderation to the world?
Not even at the height of its
power in the days of the Caliphate
did the Moslem world possess
such elements of power, status
and prosperity as those which the
western world has now put into
it's hands. Because we cherish
national liberty for ourselves and
others we do not begrudge them
their fortune. But unless you de-
cree that national liberty is the
divine right of the Arab people,
and something which non-Arabs
can do without, you cannot con-
done the indignant, plaintive ran
cor which the Arab leadership
shows to the world. IsraePs in
dependence, though deeply pre-
ciOus to us, is no just grievance
The Arizona post., 1953-09-18

of body, but of mind and spirit, of
Iang Lage, loyalty and natiC.laI
sentiment. All these factors rep
resent reasons for expecting Arab
governments to Iiberate their re-
giOn and the world from the pit
eOus impact of this suffering
and grief.)
Regional Security
(The Arab states made war up
on Israel, not we upon them. Yet
it is they who profess to fear our
aggression. The Arab states re-
fuse to recognize IsraePs sover-
eighty or integrity, while we are
fully prepared to recognize theirs.
Yet it is they who pretend to need
assurances of protection against
us. Israel OfferS-and the Arab
states refuse - a lasting peace
which would constitute the most
effective guarantee against un-
lawful encrOachmentS. Yet, it is
thev who proclaim every day and
night that the present situation
does not offer them adequate Sec
urity. They are great ocean of 40
million in wide expanse, advan-
tageOusly poised to converge upon
us from every side as they have
already done. Yet, it is they who
conjure up the morbid and fan
taStic image of Israel, turning
aside from it's constructive pre-
occupations, in order to resume
the war which we never wanted,
which they began and which end
ed differently from their caIcuIa-
tiOnS.)
American-IsraeIR Relations
The American-Israel partner
ship has been the central pillar
in the edifice of our international
friendship, and it so remains.
President EisenhoWer's express
sion of hope to see this friendship
develop "at full tide" in the years
ahead strikes a responsive echo in
our hearts. We are at one on the
need for peace, and we are told on
their behalf that there is no basic
difference in the general charac-
ter of the peace which they and
we should like to see.

The President who used to

he did not believe that the
troubles of the declining pipe in

but rather a shift in consumer
preference away from pipe smok-
