* But what? The Arab leaders want to take power into their own hands, not only in Syria and Iraq and Egypt and other countries, but also in the Land of Israel.... I ask: What nation is there in the world that has one hundred percent of its people concentrated in its national state? How many millions of Germans, French, Italians and even English are there in the world who are scattered throughout all countries, and why is it forbidden for a small part of the Arabs to live as a minority in a country neighboring them? There is no other answer to this than the old rule: for one nation – everything, and for the other – nothing.

* Even the Arabs, who are so insistent on their rights in the land, do not have an Arabic name for the Land of Israel. They use the name of the Philistines. Some have tried to call the Land of Israel by the name of southern Syria – but they do not have a special name in the Arabic language. And at the same time, they abuse us and do not want to acknowledge the Hebrew name of the land – Eretz Israel.
