For 20 years Israel has lived with commando raids and terrorists acts knowing that only her strength prevented her destruction. The Arab States are so bent on destroying Israel that they have even undertaken acts contrary to their own selfinterest. One and threetenths million refugees are deliberately kept in a state of degradation and agitation because of the promise that they will one day return to Palestine. To the half million who have never seen Israel. home is the refugee camp. and resettlement is not accomplished. Refugee commando groups. such as the "Palestine Liberation Army." have been created. In 1955 a plan to develop cooperatively the waters of the Jordan. which was agreed to by Israel and Arab technicians. was rejected by the Arab governments. only to spite Israel. In 1964 an Arab summit meeting sought to divert the Jordan. which would have retarded both Israeli and Arab development.
