apri bene gli occhi e leggi con attenzione. Era il 1958, e questo e' un 
discorso di Abba Eban. Vediamo se sei cosi' gonfio di odio da chiamare 
estremista persino lui.

  The Arab refugee problem was caused by a war of aggression, launched 
by the Arab states against Israel in 1947 and 1948. Let there be no 
mistake. If there had been no war against Israel, with its consequent 
harvest of bloodshed, misery, panic and flight, there would be no 
problem of Arab refugees today.
     Once you determine the responsibility for that war, you have 
determined the responsibility for the refugee problem. Nothing in the 
history of our generation is clearer or less controversial than the 
initiative of Arab governments for the conflict out of which the refugee 
tragedy emerged.
     The origins of that conflict are clearly defined by the confessions 
of Arab governments themselves: "This will be a war of extermination," 
declared the secretary-general of the Arab League speaking for the 
governments of six Arab states, "it will be a momentous massacre to be 
spoken of like the Mongolian massacre and the Crusades."
     The assault began on the last day of November 1947. From then until 
the expiration of the British Mandate in May 1948 the Arab states, in 
concert with Palestine Arab leaders, plunged the land into turmoil and 
chaos. On the day of Israel's Declaration of Independence, the armed 
forces of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, supported by 
contingents from Saudi Arabia and the Yemen, crossed their frontiers and 
marched against Israel.
     The refugee problem was not created by the General Assembly's 
recommendation for the establishment of Israel. It was created by the 
attempts of Arab governments to destroy that recommendation by force. 
The crisis arose not, as Arab spokesmen have said, because the United 
Nations adopted a resolution eleven years ago; it arose because Arab 
governments attacked that resolution by force. If the United Nations 
proposal had been peacefully accepted, there would be no refugee problem 
today hanging as a cloud upon the tense horizons of the Middle East.
     Apart from the question of its origin, the perpetuation of this 
refugee problem is an unnatural event, running against the whole course 
of experience and precedent. Since the end of the Second World War, 
problems affecting forty million refugees have confronted governments in 
various parts of the world. In no case, except that of the Arab refugees 
- amounting to less than two percent of the whole - has the 
international community shown constant responsibility and provided 
lavish aid.
     In every other case a solution has been found by the integration of 
refugees into their host countries. Nine million Koreans; 900,000 
refugees from the conflict in Vietnam; 8.5 million Hindus and Sikhs 
leaving Pakistan for India; 6.5 million Muslims fleeing India to 
Pakistan; 700,000 Chinese refugees in Hong Kong; 13 million Germans from 
the Sudetenland, Poland and other East European States reaching West and 
East Germany; thousands of Turkish refugees from Bulgaria; 440,000 Finns 
separated from their homeland by a change of frontier; 450,000 refugees 
from Arab lands arrived destitute in Israel; and an equal number 
converging on Israel from the remnants of the Jewish holocaust in Europe 
- these form the tragic procession of the world's refugee population in 
the past two decades.
     In every case but that of the Arab refugees now in Arab lands, the 
countries in which the refugees sought shelter have facilitated their 
integration. In this case alone has integration been obstructed.
     The paradox is the more astonishing when we reflect that the 
kinship of language, religion, social background and national sentiment 
existing between the Arab refugees and their Arab host countries has 
been at least as intimate as those existing between any other host 
countries and any other refugee groups. It is impossible to escape the 
conclusion that the integration of Arab refugees into the life of the 
Arab world is an objectively feasible process which has been resisted 
for political reasons.
     Recent years have witnessed a great expansion of economic 
potentialities in the Middle East. The revenues of the oil-bearing 
countries have opened up great opportunities of work and development, 
into which the refugees, by virtue of their linguistic and national 
background, could fit without any sense of dislocation. There cannot be 
any doubt that if free movement had been granted to the refugees there 
would have been a spontaneous absorption of thousands of them into these 
expanded Arab economies.

Vero, se gli Arabi non fossero sbarcati in Ebreolandia dall'europa in
numeri sempre maggiori non ci sarebbe stata guerra.
La riprova la si ha oggi, un pugno di Arabi Palestinesi criminali,
tiene in ostaggio l'intero popolo Ebraico dietro un muro, gli nega
rifornimenti, liberta' di spostamento e commercio.
Nahum prendi le pastiglie ogni sera mi raccomando.

 Vero, se gli Arabi 
bravo Diego, grazie di aver isolato un paragrafo significativo. Stiamo a 
vedere ora se per il Logi anche Abba Eban era un pericoloso estremista.

Abba non prendeva le pastiglie lo sai.
Non era estremista, era suonato.
