In Palestine as of Right and Not on Sufferance…

“When it is asked what is meant by the development of the Jewish National
Home in Palestine, it may be answered that it is not the imposition of a Jewish
nationality upon the inhabitants of Palestine as a whole, but the further
development of the existing Jewish community, with the assistance of Jews in
other parts of the world, in order that it may become a centre in which the
Jewish people as a whole may take, on grounds of religion and race, an interest
and a pride. But in order that this community should have the best prospect of
free development and provide a full opportunity for the Jewish people to display
its capacities, it is essential that it should know that it is in Palestine as of right
and not on sufferance.”
