April 6, 1950 Arab Refugees – Fifth Column

 

Arab RefugeesLebanon weekly “Al Ziyyad” suggested that the Arab States should recognize the State of Israel “de facto”, since as a result of such recognition a “Fifth Column” of Arabs would love Israel.

“…the return of all the refugees to their homes would be secured. Thereby we should, on the one hand, eliminate the refugee problem and, on the other, create a large Arab majority that would serve as the most effective means of reviving the Arab character of Palestine WHILE FORMING A POWERFUL FIFTH COLUMN FOR THE DAY OF REVENGE AND RECKONING.”
