It is very possible that, in the light of America's new policy of halting further Russian expansion, the Arab threat to raise Middle East havoc as an answer to Jewish immigration is no threat at all. But despite all speculation, UN failure to deal with the refugee problem at once will convict it of its greatest weakness to date-a disregard for humanity...
