From Joseph Shellim: Jewish Palestine. The following is a part of the U.S. Congressional Record of 1922 by the members of Congress in favor of re-establishing a Jewish national home in the land of Palestine: Palestine of today, the land we now know as Palestine, was peopled by the Jews from the dawn of history until the Roman era. It is the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. They were driven from it by force by the relentless Roman military machine and for centuries prevented from returning. “At different periods various alien people succeeded them, but the Jewish race had left an indelible impress upon the land. Today it is a Jewish country. Every name, every landmark, every monument, and every trace of whatever civilization remaining there is still Jewish. And it has ever since remained a hope, a longing, as expressed in their prayers for these nearly 2,000 years. No other people have ever claimed Palestine as their national home.” - Mr. Appleby, representative of New Jerseys 3rd Congressional district in the United States House of Representatives; 1922.
