The continuous Jewish presencein Israel for over 3,000 years Who can challenge the rights of the Jews in Palestine? Good Lord, historically it is really your country. - Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, Mayor of Jerusalem, 1899. It is, indeed, not the birth of a nation, for the Jewish nation through centuries of oppression and captivity have preserved their sentiment of nationality as few peoples could...it is the rebirth of a nation. - Lord Robert Cecil, 1918 We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement...We will wish the Jews a hearty welcome home... Our two movements compliment one another. - Emir Faisal, a leader of the Arab world, 1919 Extracted from Israel101 material. It is manifestly right that the scattered Jews should have a national center and national home and be reunited, and where else but in Palestine, with which for 3,000 years they have been intimately and profoundly associated? -Winston Churchill, 1920Tuesday, May 17, 2011 7Statements about The continuous Jewish presence in Israel for over 3,000 years-Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi-Lord Robert Cecil-Emir Faisal-Winston Churchill 21.
