"For me, Zionist considerations take precedence over Jewish sentiments, and I only heed Zionist considerations in this matter — that is, what is required for Eretz Israel. And even if my Jewish feelings urge me to go to France, I shall not do so, and I think we should act according to Zionist considerations and not merely Jewish considerations, for a Jew is not automatically a Zionist.
