-kairy's name, but referring to
him as "the gentleman from
Saudi Arabia," Mrs. Meir ac-
cused him of having been a
Collaborator of a Hitler asso-
ciate, of uttering 'outright lies
and of representing a country
which not only condoned but
practiced slavery.
In her address, Mrs. Meir also
took an open stand against Mongi
Slim of Tunisia, - president of the
Assembly, who had permitted
Shukairy to use the Assembly
rostrum for a speech which
Israel had already termed
"vicious and obscene."
Opening her remarks,. Mrs.
Meir told the Assembly: "It is
with a feeling of abhorrence at
the statement made here yester-
day by the delegates of Saudi
Arabia, and surprise that this
vicious speech, with its racial
incitement, its direct personal
offense, and its outright false-
hoods, was allowed to continue
unchecked, that I come to this
rostrum to make some com-
ments."
Pointing out that Shukairy had
equated Israel with Nazism, Mrs.
Meir said: "Such an equation
can be made only by someone
who is either totally ignorant of
what Nazism was or by someone
who- is indifferent to it." She
cited the fact that Shukairy as
a member of the Arab Higher
Committee during the Second
World War was "a close asso-
ciate of the Committee's leader,
the notorious ex-Mufti of Jeru-
salem." The ex-Mufti, she said,
had "spent the war years in
Germany_ and collaborated with
the Nazi leaders in connection
-with their extermination pro-
gram of the Jews."
1- Mrs. Meir challenged Shukairy
to point to any statement, ever
made by him in condemnation
of Hitler during the war. "When
did the delegate from Saudi
Arabia," she asked, "begin . to
denounce Hitler and Nazism —
when they were occupying one
European country after another?
Or only after Hitler was de-
feated?"
Mrs. Meir quoted from Arab
newspapers in Jordan, Damas-
Mrs. Meir went briefly into
the history of Israeli-Arab dis-
putes and warfare from the time
the Assembly voted Palestine
partition in November, 1947 to
the a t t a c k s against Israel
launched by seven Arab states
within minutes after Israel had
proclaimed its independence in
1948. She recalled that it was
the Arabs themselves who cre-
ated the refugee problem by tell-
ing the Arabs in Palestine to
leave, promising them they
would be able to return "after
total victory against Jews within
a few weeks."
The Israel Foreign Minister
once again challenged the Arab
leaders to refute Israel's asse
tions that the 235,000 Arab
Israel enjoy more freedom
greater economic and so
vantages than the Arabs
Arab states. '
Mrs. Meir pointed to

Mrs. Meir called Shukairy's
assertions that Israel seeks to
expand its territory at the ex-
pense of the' Arabs as totally
"baseless." She also termed as
"baseless" the story of "an al-
leged attempt to assassinate Dag

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
sharpest condemnation of an
Arab leader probably ever heard
at the United Nations was deli-
vered i'n' the General Assembly
of the United Nations Oct. 18
by Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's
Foreign Minister, when she at-
tacked Ahmad Shukairy of
Saudi Arabia and his govern-
ment in reply to Shukairy's dia-
tribe against Israel voiced the
previous day.
