text: 11. It has been said-indeed, it was said in this Chamber yesterday--that from the complaint to the Security Coun- cil one would think that we had turned to the Council because hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had been expelled. Let me make it very clear that this was done upon the initiative of the,collective Arab Group. All the Arab States met and decided to come to the Security Council. Of course, we know that the expulsions, the res- trictive measures, the deportations and the coercive meas- ures that have been undertaken in the occupied Palestinian territories are part of a pattern. The measures taken in the last few weeks are probably the latest manifestation of an unfolding process. 12 For us, the question has been: Do we arrest this pro- cess? Can we invoke the authority of the Security Council and the United Nations and its machinery to arrest Israel’s continued arrogation to itself of the right not only to undertake the demographic and geographic mutilation of the West Bank and Gaza, but also to deny the people in these areas a territory within which they can articulate their national identity and their political -rights? 13. The question is much more profound than mere acts of deportation-than mere acts of destroying houses. It reveals a situation which is pregnant with great dangers for the future. We see today a growing polarization, with colonial settlers in the West Bank and Gaza undertaking militaristic activities. Not only are they seeking to annihi- late the integrity of the territory on which the Palestinians can express self-determination, but they are also proceed- ing to establish new facts. ,14. 7 I should like to call those facts a “Kahanization” of the Israeli body politic. Of course, at this moment some Israelis would deny that Kahane represents anything more
