Chaim Weizmann

Palestine must be built up without violating the legitimate interests of the Arabs.. Palestine is not Rhodesia... 600,0000 Arabs live there, who before the sense of justice of the world have exactly the same rights to their homes as we have to our National Home.

A law is something which must have a moral basis, so that there is an inner compelling force for every citizen to obey.

Independence is never given to a people, it has to be earned; and, once earned, must be defended.
