Weizmann speech 1937:

“I have told the British Royal Commission that the hopes of Europe’s six million Jews were centered on emigration. I was asked, “Can you bring six million Jews to Palestine?” I replied, “No.” … The old ones will pass. They will bear their fate or they will not. They were dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world. … Only a branch shall survive. … They had to accept it … If they feel and suffer they will find the way – beachareth hajamin – in the fullness of time … I pray that we may preserve our national unity, for it is all we have.”
