What a boon [blessing] to mankind it would be if the Jews and the Arabs of Palestine were to strive together to make their Holy Land into a thriving, peaceful Switzerland situated at the heart of this ancient highway between East and West.
Why do we struggle in Palestine? And why do the Arab peoples push thousands of their youth into the abysses of combat? .. The answer to this question is that we strive to repel the calamity of injustice and aggression, and to protect our being from the danger of oppression and imperialism. The truth is that the Arab nation has not faced in its long history a danger more terrifying in its horror than the danger to which it is exposed today
If from the very beginning, in our striving to establish a settlement of our own, we turn to the world seeking help, no blessing will rest upon us. We have not yet offered anything, and already we demand too much. If we wish others to believe in us, if we wish to believe in ourselves, we must accomplish everything by our own strength; we must trust in nothing but our own self-reliance.
Return the land of Israel to us, and after a few generations there will be 8 million Jews and 2 million Arabs living there, with room to spare — and there will also be peace

Hey NorthernWinds, Thanks so much for all the great sources you’ve added on the Zionism page! You’ve not only pointed me to some places I want to look into more, but you’ve also added extremely helpful information that I wouldn’t have been able to find on my own...
