"We want a Jewish state, even if not in the whole country. Who is 'we'? The Zionist movement and the great majority of the Yishuv and the great majority of the Pioneer Movement and fighters and soldiers and those who shed their blood! They fought for it!... When the question arose of the integrity of the land without a Jewish state or a Jewish state without the integrity of the land, we chose a Jewish state without the integrity of the land. Quoted by Nadav Eyal at ynet"
