Grim, "is to go ahead and deny that story about the offer to buy the Dome of the Rock.

You Zionists have got the most efficient publicity bureau on earth.
You can reach the public ear any time you want to.

Deny the story, and keep on denying it." "Ah! Who will believe us?
To be a Zionist is to be a person about whom anybody will believe anything; and the more absurd the lie, the more readily it will be believed! Meanwhile, the Moslems are sharpening their swords against us from one end of this land to the other!" I suppose that what Eisernstein really needed more than anything was sympathy, not good advice.

Grim's deliberate coolness only irritated the passion of a man, whose whole genius and energy were bent on realizing the vision of a nation of Jews firmly established in their ancient home.

A people that has been tortured in turn by all the governments can hardly be expected to produce un-nervous politicians.
