On November 25, 1929, Einstein wrote to Chaim Weizmann, future first President of Israel, in part, "If we do not succeed in finding the path of honest cooperation and coming to terms with the Arabs, we will not have learned anything from our two thousand year old ordeal and will deserve the fate which will beset us." 爱因斯坦1929年11月25日写给未来以色列首任总统哈伊姆·魏茨曼的一封信中说:“如果我们无法找到与阿拉伯人正当合作和真诚对话的途径,那么我们就没有从过去2000年的痛苦当中学到任何东西,而我们经历的一切痛苦也是咎由自取。”
