“The Jews might have had Uganda, Madagascar, and other places for the establishment of a Jewish Fatherland, but they wanted absolutely nothing except Palestine, not because the Dead Sea water by evaporation can produce five trillion dollars of metaloids and powdered metals; not because the sub-soil of Palestine contains twenty times more petroleum than all the combined reserves of the two Americas; but because Palestine is the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, because Palestine constitutes the veritable center of world political power, the strategic center for world control.” WorldTwoMightWantedAmericaPoliticalWaterPowerFiveSeaProduceEuropeTwentiesDollarsJewSoilMetalsEstablishmentReservesAsiaPalestineStrategicAbsolutely NothingPolitical PowerCrossroadsZionistFatherlandPetroleumUgandaHoly LandSea WaterMadagascarEvaporation Author:Nahum Goldmann
