• We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai.

• Se construyeron aldeas judías en lugar de aldeas árabes. Ni siquiera sabéis los nombres de estos pueblos árabes, y no os culpo, porque estos libros de geografía ya no existen; no sólo no existen los libros, los pueblos árabes tampoco están allí. Nahalal surgió en el lugar de Mahalul, Gevat - en el lugar de Jibta, Sarid - en el lugar de Haneifs y Kefar Yehoshua - en el lugar de Tell Shaman. No hay ningún lugar construido en este país que no haya tenido una antigua población árabe.

• I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?

• It has been estimated that of the world Jew population of approximately fifteen millions, no fewer than five million are in the United States. Twenty-five percent of the inhabitants of New York are Jews. During the Great War we bought off this huge American Jewish public by the promise of the Jewish National Home in Palestine, held by Ludendorff to be the master stroke of Allied propaganda as it enabled us not only to appeal to Jews in America but to Jews in Germany as well.
