Begin expounds on the need for the existence of the state of Israel in order for the Jewish people to have the right of self determination. He compares our 3600 year claim to the 18 year claim of the Arabs of Israel and the existence of 20 Arab states to one sovereign Jewish state. Begin states that an Arab inhabitant can be a citizen of Israel if he is loyal to the state, and thereby the integrity of the Jewish state will be maintained.
