I just came across a quote from Einstein in a magazine I'm reading. This comes from a speech he gave before the National Labor Committee for Palestine, April 17, 1938, in New York:

"My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure if temporal power... I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain- especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our ranks, which we have already had to fight strongly even without a Jewish state... A return to a nation in the political sense of the word would be equivalent to turning away from the spiritualization of our community that we owe to the genius of our prophets."

You know, they don't call this man a genius for nothing. He's a prophet himself!
