demands and wishes to impose a solution whereby these frontiers would pass somewhere through Egyptian national territory, through Syrian national territory and through Jordanian national territory. This is not only a challenge to international conscience, to our Charter and to our insti- tutions. It is a provocation. 68. Israel seems to be in no hurry to abandon so unjust and so intransigent an attitude. Other calculations have given it reason to suppose that with the passage of time it can improve still further on its conquests. Meanwhile Arab Jerusalem continues to be occupied. The holy places of Islam and the holy Christian places remain in captivity, despite the wounded sensibilities of hundreds of millions of Muslims and Christians the world over. 69. Throughout this time the Palestinian people, shuttled between ghettos and camps that are scarcely any better, are being transformed into a phantom people no longer referred to except in terms of “refugees”, stripped of personality, identity and even territory. 70. During this period Israel, so sensitive to the intro- duction of a single rifle in the region, continues its policy of arming itself from all possible sources, in the name of declared solidarities, the reliability of which will be demonstrated in the near future, or through shady deals which always come to light in the end. The Arab peopIes will thus distinguish between their friends and those who let pass good opportunities to become or to remain such. 71. The assertion that Israel must, among other things, enjoy permanent military superiority over all its neighbours combined indicates better than any other argument the nature of the Zionist military rCgime and how much confidence it has in the justice of its cause, and in any event leaves no doubt as to the instrument it means to use once
