The report does not minimize the restrictive measures under which the Israel Arab must live and which are necessitated by the continuing expressed hostility against Israel by Arab states surrounding it. Mr. King. however. attributes the basic difficulty in integrating the Arab citizen to the refusal of many to accept western progress and industrialization. Despite all the benefits of political and economic democracy which Israel makes available. many of Israels Arabs apparently still hope for the liquidation of the Israeli state. The obstacles which Mr. King reports that Israel officials are trying to overcome are so great as to lend great weight to Israels belief th.t largescale repatriation of Arab refugees is impossible in the interests of the security of Israel.
