Additional Details

"Nowadays we know that there is no basis for comparing us with the Crusaders. The Christian adventurers of the Middle Ages had no real connection with this land, or even with each other, and their takeover of this land was artificial from the beginning, whereas we have been rooted in our land for thousands of years and our return to it is natural and understandable."
