Mus­lim Brotherhood’s reaction to Britain’s decision to refer the Palestinian problem to the United Nations: “AS FROM TODAY WE DECLARE OUR CONDEMNATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS AS LONG S IT IS LED BY A BUNCH OF ELDERLY COLONIZERS.  WE DECLARE THAT ARAB PALESTINE SHALL ACCEPT NOTHING SHORT OF COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE, AND WITH THE JEWS BEING CONSIDERED A WORTHLESS MINORITY AND A COMPLETE END TO IMMIGRATION.” Source: Majallat al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, April 12, 1947
