Republican Senator Ralph E. Flanders of Vermont said this week-end that Communism threatened the Middle East, but “the Zionistic expansion of Israel is the other active threat of aggression.”
In a Senate speech, Flanders called for limitation of immigration into Israel. Unrestricted immigration into Israel, Flanders said, must be “labelled as a menace to the Arab world.” He said immigration should be limited to Jewish refugees from Egypt. Any “expansion of the limits of Israel must be treated in the eyes of the United Nations and of the nations individually as an act of aggression. It must be so treated by our own government. Only when this is done can the Arab nations feel any security against this menace.”
