It Is True That We Aspire To

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.'

Dreams And Actions Are Not So Different As Usually Thought, As All Actions Of Men Are Founded Upon Dreams, And Their End - Is A Dream Too.

We Shall Try To Spirit The Penniless Population Across The Border By Procuring Employment For It In The Transit Countries, While Denying It Any Employment In Our Own Country .... Expropriation And The Removal Of The Poor Must Be Carried Out Discreetly And Circumspectly.

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.

We Are Organizing Jewry For Its Coming Destiny.
