1946

"Twenty-four-year-old Zaki Hashem, for the last three years a legal advisor to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the League of Arab States, spoke up sharply yesterday in defense of Arab rights in Palestine. "The solution to the Jewish refugee problem," he said, "lies in eliminating the Fascist remnants which are driving the Jews out of Europe but not in a mass, immigration to Palestine.

"Packing a country with immigrants when a majority of that country are opposed to it is clearly contrary to the principles of democracy and self-determination. The Arab League is against such mass immigration because it is a political weapon against the Arab people of Palestine."" (thanks Nasir)
