"The land of Israel is not small at all, if only the Arabs will be removed, and if its frontiers would be enlarged a little; to the north all the way to Litani [River in Lebanon], and to the east including the Golan Heights . . . . while the Arabs be transferred to northern Syria and Iraq. . . . From now on we must work out a secret plan based on the removal of the Arabs from here . . . to include it into American political circles. . . . today we have no other alternative. . . . We will not live here with Arabs."
Yosef Weitz, head of the 'transfer committies' wrote in his diary, quoted by Benny Morris in 'The Expulsion Of The Palestinians', page 134.
