Ben Gurion stated:
?No Jew is at liberty to surrender the right of the Jewish Nation and the Land of Israel
to exist. No Jewish body is sanctioned to do so. No Jew alive today has the authority to
yield any piece of land whatsoever. This right is preserved by the Jewish people
throughout the generations and cannot be forfeited under any circumstance. Even if at
some given time there will be those who declare that they are relinquishing this right,
they have neither the power nor the jurisdiction to negate it for future generations to
come. The Jewish Nation is neither obligated by nor responsible for any waiver such as
this. Our right to this land in its entirety, is steadfast, inalienable and eternal. And until
the coming of the Great Redemption, we shall never yield this historic right.?
