" The population in the camps is becoming a sort of second nation, a rebellious nation which views us as plu­tocrats. This is incendiary material, eminently useful to Herut and the Com­munists. It's dynamite. . . . The immigrants are in some ways taking the place of the Arabs. There is also a special attitude emerging on our part toward them; we are beginning to harbor an attitude of superiority. "
