...that "no answer will be the most effective answer." As for the 1,000,000 refugees, the Arab states would consider nothing less than full restoration of their lost lands in Israel, apparently condemning the refugees indefinitely to their squalid camps, where they subsist on a $30 million annual dole, 70% paid by the U.S. and 20% by Britain...

Leading South Africans, such as Author Alan (Cry, the Beloved Country) Paton, raised $600,000 for a defense fund, hired a brilliant battery of lawyers and kept most of the defendants going on a dole of $30.80 a month.
