As a Zionist youth leader in the 1940s, I was among those who called for a binational state in Mandatory Palestine. When a Jewish state was declared, I felt that it should have the rights of other states - no more, no less.

The murderers are supposed to have been Jewish revisionists, an extreme party that want to be rid of the English and set up a Jewish state. I don't know how long they think the Arabs would suffer a single Jew to exist once the English went."

Jerusalem, Palestine, 7 September 1933

People who criticize power in the Jewish community are regarded the way Ahab treated Elijah: You're a traitor.

If you are Anti-Zionist, you are Anti-Jewish even if another Jew agrees with you.

I don't think the area of Jerusalem should be part of a Jewish state; it belongs to all people, to Christians and Muslims and the Jewish people.

I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.
