Vladimir Jabotinsky – The Iron Wall – 1923
What need, otherwise, of the Balfour Declaration? Or of the Mandate? Their value to us is that outside Power has undertaken to create in the country such conditions of administration and security that if the native population should desire to hinder our work, they will find it impossible.
Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a Power that is independent of the native population – behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach.
Today, that Power that is making it impossible for the indigenous people of Palestine to remove the foreign invaders from Europe who occupied their country by force is America.
