But I Am Convinced That

It Is True That We Aspire To Our Ancient Land. But What We Want In That Ancient Land Is A New Blossoming Of The Jewish Spirit.

Realists Are, As A Rule, Only Men In The Rut Of Routine Who Are Incapable Of Transcending A Narrow Circle Of Antiquated Notions.

I Incline To An Aristocratic Republic. This Would Satisfy The Ambitious Spirit Among Our People. We Shall Learn From The Historic Mistakes Of Others In The Same Way As We Learn From Our Own; For We Are A Modern Nation And Wish To Be The Most Modern In The World.

But We Wish To Give The Jews A Homeland. Not By Dragging Them Ruthlessly Out Of Their Sustaining Soil, But Rather By Removing Them Carefully, Roots And All, To A Better Terrain.

I Will Give You My Definition Of A Nation, And You Can Add The Adjective 'jewish.' A Nation Is, In My Mind, An Historical Group Of Men Of A Recognizable Cohesion Held Together By A Common Enemy. Then, If You Add To That The Word 'jewish' You Have What I Understand To Be The Jewish Nation.
