The new immigrants face many language and cultural difficulties.

In the brief time since this idea was suggested...
Historical coincidence has thrown these two groups together on the same tract of land, limited both in size and in resources. The Arabs, especially the Palestinians, could only see the Israelis in 1948 as foreign intruders. The influx of outsiders promised by the creation of the state of Israel meant that Palestinians would be displaced and a new, foreign polity introduced just at a time when nationalism was awakening in the Third World. As the Arabs were trying to expel the last elements of European colonialism, the Israelis--a new group whose external appearance and way of life seemed largely...
