ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews certain conditions in the Arab view for the problem created by Zionist aspirations. The Arabs are irrevocably opposed to political Zionism, but in no way hostile to the Jews as such nor to their Jewish fellow citizens of Palestine. Those Jews who have already entered Palestine, and who have obtained or shall obtain Palestinian citizenship by due legal process, will be full citizens of the Palestinian state, enjoying full civil and political rights and a fair share in government and administration. The Cairo Pact of March 1945 provided for the representation of Palestine on the Council of the Arab League even before its independence should be a reality; once it was really self-governing it would participate fully in all the work of the League, in the cultural and economic no less than the political sphere.
