Meir 1970 at the UN:
I cannot help but recall that this Organization will always be linked in the mind of our people with the signal role it played in the emergence of modern sovereign Israel, The Organization put the seal of international recognition upon our historic process of return, ingathering, liberation and development-and this we cannot forget.
What the Russian woman did not seem to understand was that Palestine had its own indigenous population and for this Russian woman, the claim was completely based on the delusion in her head that she the white woman was the descendant of the ancient Hebrews but everything about that Russian woman was alien to the Middle East. The Russian woman did not seem to understand that in 1947 there were 43 Christian countries and only 10 Muslim countries deciding the partition of Palestine which was a Muslim country. And the reason why there were so few Muslim countries at the United Nations in 1947 was because too many of the Muslim countries of the world were colonized by Britain, France, Italy, If that partition vote was to take place today, there would be no way for the European news to have a state on Arab land because there are enough Muslim countries at the UN today to reject it!
