Table No. 3 is another official report, covering the
period 1946-1965, it shows that the total amount of U‘S.
Government aid to Israel (excluding military aid) equals
1045.8 million dollars, whereas the total amount of aid
received by the thirteen Arab States equals 3219.9 million
dollars. From these figures we can deduce that Israel
receives 1/3 of the total amount of economic aid offered
to the Arabs. In order to have a more complete picture
of the situation we should compare the population of Israel
with that of the Arab states (See Table No. 4). This table
shows clearly that the population of Israel in 1964 num-
bered 2,510,000, while the total population of the 13
Arab States numbered 99,680,258. Thus, the inhabitants
of the Arab States are 40 times more than those of Israel.
If we refer back to table No. 3 and compare the total
amount of aid offered to Israel on the one hand and to the
Arab States on the other (after taking into account the
difference in population), we can conclude that the Israeli
citizen receives 13.5 times more than an Arab citizen.
Besides this, table No. 3 points out that the economic
aid offered to Israel is of a vital nature since it is directed
towards the development of the country concerned. This
cannot be said about most of the aid received by the Arab
countries. For example, the aid in surplus food (an un-
productive form of aid) covers more than 50% of the
economic aid offered to the Arab States, whereas this
kind of support covers less than 33% of the total amount
of aid received by Israel. The disproportionate allocations
of aid to Israel and the Arab States was recognised in a
