Database of Palestine colonization quotes
PALCIT is a database of quotes on the Zionist colonization of Palestine. Quotations do not replace History, but there is no History without quotations. Those in PALCIT come either from recognized historians or from media that have shed light on the news. Their authors are most often people who have played a direct and important role of political power. This choice is intended to give a raw material to understand the ideology that has guided the decisions taken since the birth of Zionism to lead to today's Israel.
The authenticity of the quotations and their sources have been carefully verified.
Authentic quotations are accessible:
- by searching for exact phrases.
- by date or period. This is the date of the quotations and not the period evoked by them.
- by author.
- by theme.
The quotations may be downloaded at the bottom of the QUOTATION page.
This site is a tribute to all past and present source persons and sites that have provided well-controlled data, especially Palestine Remembered.

" ... As for Weizmann and Palestine, I entertain no doubt that he is out for a Jewish Government, if not at the moment then in the near future … What all this can mean except Government I do not see. Indeed a Commonwealth as defined in my dictionary is a 'body politic' a 'State' an 'independent community' a 'republic'. I feel tolerably sure therefore that while Weizmann may say one thing to you, or while you may mean one thing by a national home, he is out for something quite different. He contemplates a Jewish State, a Jewish nation, a subordinate population of Arabs, etc. ruled by Jews; the Jews in possession of the fat of the land, and directing the Administration. He is trying to effect this behind the screen and under the shelter of British trusteeship. I do not envy those who wield the latter, when they realize the pressure to which they are certain to be exposed. "
