David Ben-Gurion War Quotations

We must assist the British in the war as if there were no White Paper and we must resist the White Paper as if there were no war.

The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war.

A Christian state should be established [in Lebanon], with its southern border on the Litani river. We will make an alliance with it. When we smash the Arab Legion's strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight on, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo.... And in this fashion, we will end the war and settle our forefathers' account with Egypt, Assyria, and Aram.
