Arab states insisted on a different definition for Palestinian-Arab refugees of the Israeli War of Independence — and a different agency to care for them.

Concern already raised in 1966, over funds for UNRWA ending up at terror:<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=o7hdAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA4 What's U.S. Role in Mideast?], "'The Victoria Advocate'', Dec 13, 1966 (4).<blockquote><small>
... The American contribution is made through the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) which handles Arab refugee aid. But Middle Eastern diplomats have long been aware that many of the dollars are eventually diverted, directly or indirectly to Ahmad Shukairy's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Specialists on Arab affairs estimate that about 100,000 refugees are secret members of the Palestine Liberation Army, the mlitary wing of the PLO. The majority of them are on UNRWA's elief rolls.

But Shukairy, the PLOs 58- yearold chief, apparently had other political fish to fry. Last March he visited Peking where he announced, among other things, that he agreed to send Arab guerrillas to Viet Nam to fight alongside the Comnunists.</small></blockquote></ref>

NEW YORK — In a letter to the editor published in Wednesday's New York Times, Dr. Albert Simard, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of World War Three warns of the "dangerous" background and activities of Ahmed Shukairy, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization who, he said, had expressed hatred of the West.
Recalling the pro-Hilter activities "highest levels of government" of Shukairy when he was associated with the notorious Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

Noting the PLO's announced purpose of "organizing international guerilla..." Dr. Simard cited the organization's close relationship with Communist China...
In an article published in the latest issue of the society's magazine, "Prevent World War Three," the society called on the United States to withdraw all support from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees if the UNRWA does not adjust its relief operations to ensure that no PLO guerillas are beneficiaries.</blockquote>
