We have talked about Palestine. I, an Arab
tell you that the Arabs created the Palestine
problem.
Who but the Arabs called for their
conferences, raised their clamor and preached
and prated about Palestine? And who were these
Arabs?
There were three types: the man who sought
to make a worldly reputation for himself and win
fame in men's mouths; the adventurer who had no
stake in Palestine and Syria; and the greedy man
who sought to enrich himself.
Let the Arabs of
each country look to the improvement of their own
country first.
Ibn Saud, king and founder of Saudi Arabia, when
speaking to the top British representative to his
country in 1943.
