"In all actions, and endeavors of the Zionists,
there is no hint of the future redemption..."

[the Zionist idea] "carries no note whatever of the idea of redemption, nor does it in any way touch anything that relates to it. In all the actions and endeavors of the Zionists, there is no hint of the future redemption..." and "Ramban did not intend to say that conquest [of Eretz Yisrael] by war is a positive command, for the people of Israel stand under oath through all the days of exile to keep far from a planned rebellion and trespass, heaven forbid..." (Sharei Orah veSimchah, pp.12-13, p.36)

"Where are the religious Jews?...do they not see the Finger of God? Let us imagine a small cloud being seen after two thousand years without rain. Will not everyone say with great excitement: 'Perhaps...perhaps after all?' Is the Mandate not at least such a cloud?"
(as reported by R. Y. Breuer, Moriah, p.191, I think)
