Were I To Sum Up The Basle Congress In A Word- Which I Shall Guard Against Pronouncing Publicly- It Would Be This: 'at Basle, I Founded The Jewish State. If I Said This Out Loud Today, I Would Be Answered By Universal Laughter. If Not In 5 Years, Certainly In 50, Everyone Will Know It.'

Let Sovereignty Be Granted Us Over A Portion Of The Earth's Surface Large Enough To Satisfy Our Rightful Requirements As A Nation. The Rest We Shall Manage For Ourselves.

The Jewish Question Exists Wherever The Jews Live, However Small Their Number. Where It Does Not Exist It Is Imported By Jew Immigrants. We Naturally Go Where We Are Not Persecuted, And, Still Persecution Is The Result Of Our Appearance...by Persecution We Cannot Be Exterminated...the Strong Jews Turn Proudly To Their Race When Persecution Bursts Out. Entire Branches Of Judaism May Disappear, Break Away; The Tree Lives.

When I Remember Thee In Days To Come, O Jerusalem, It Will Not Be With Pleasure. The Musty Deposits Of 2,000 Years Of Inhumanity, Intolerance, And Uncleanliness Lie In The Foul-smelling Alleys... The Amiable Dreamer Of Nazareth Has Only Contributed To Increasing The Hatred... What Superstition And Fanaticism On Every Side!
