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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The great question of our day is whether we, the Jewish people of Israel, can find within us the will to survive as a nation.
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.
The Jewish journey started in the land of Israel, and it always strove to return there against all odds and all limitations.
The evidence of a Jewish civilization going back more than two millennia is overwhelmingly borne out in the archaeology of the region. The heritage of the Jews in Palestine is documented.
I realized that we have to do everything we can to preserve the Jewish race. I'm very proud of it, and I think it's wonderful.
All of the land of Israel is ours.
Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.
We must see what in the Israeli identity - in the Israeli - we can give to other people rather than speaking so often of taking, expanding territory.
The Old City of Jerusalem is in our hands.
It goes without saying that the Jewish people can have no other goal than Palestine and that, whatever the fate of the proposition may be, our attitude toward the land of our fathers is and shall remain unchangeable.
