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.
David Ben-GurionThe Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war.
David Ben-GurionIsrael will not discuss a peace involving the concession of any piece of territory. The neighboring states do not deserve an inch of Israel's land. . . . We are ready for exchange for peace.
David Ben-GurionWe 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.
