I am defending the Jews to prevent them from becoming extinct, because they are doomed to become extinct if they continue this way....

This is the fundamental solution, or else the Jews will be annihilated in the future, because the Palestinians have [strategic] depth. View quote

I refused this evening at Oxford University to debate with an Israeli, a supporter of the apartheid state of Israel. The reason is simple: no recognition, no normalisation. Just boycott, divestment and sanctions, until the apartheid state is defeated. I never debate with Israelis nor speak to their media. If they want to speak about Palestine – the address is the PLO.

all our moves are based on four general principles: continued use of the rifle, no waiving of historical rights, no peace, and no negotiations...

Today too, the most important issue in the world is Palestine. If a war breaks out in Iraq, we believe it is due to the provocation of the Zionists.

We consider all the arrogant, colonialist schemes to be inspired by the Zionists. View quote
