“The liberation of Palestine … is a national duty to repulse the Zionist,
imperialist invasion from the great Arab homeland and to purge the Zionist
presence from Palestine.”

“We can forgive the Arabs for
killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their
children. … We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their
children more than they hate us.”
Golda Meir —

“We
must take the battle to the enemy … the only path to safety is the path of

Arabs put down their weapons, there would be no more violence [in Israel]. If
Jews put down their weapons, there would be no more Israel.”

The Levitt Letter
“It
is impossible to defend Jerusalem unless you hold the high ground. … An
aircraft that takes off from an airport in Amman is going to be over
Jerusalem in two-and-a-half minutes, so it's utterly impossible for me to
defend the whole country unless I hold that land” [the Golan Heights].
Lieutenant General (Ret.) Thomas Kelly,
director of operations
for the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Gulf War

“We
reject the definition of Palestinian and Islamic organizations as terrorist
organizations [by the U.S.]. The U.S. and Israel are the source of terrorism
in the world.”

Scholars
[and the PA's appointed Manager of the Nablus Municipal Religious Courts]
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida 10/11/97
“…
History does not remember the United States, but it remembers Iraq, the
cradle of civilization, and Palestine, the cradle of religions. History
remembers every piece of Arab land, because it is the bosom of human
civilization. On the other hand, the murderers of humanity [the USA], the
creators of the barbaric culture and the bloodsuckers of nations, are doomed
to death and destined to shrink to a microscopic size, like Micronesia.”
Hafez Al-Barghuthi, Editor, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida 11/15/97
“[A
PA leader] … expressed President Arafat’s blessings to the brother Iraqi
people and its leadership, since the two people, Iraqi and Palestinian, are
together in the same trench.”

“Yesterday in Hebron a large rally was held in support of the Iraqi people
who are facing the American arrogance. [A speaker said in Arafat's name]:
‘The words of President Sadaam Hussein to President Arafat still reverberate
loudly in our ears: “If you do not win this war, then we will not win, and if
you do win then we shall win.”’”

“…
Everything that happens in Jerusalem is done with America’s blessing, in
spite of the false announcements periodically released by Washington. Whoever
is familiar with the real connection between the bastard entity in our land
and the bastard empire in the new world order, undoubtedly grasps this strong
tie between the American resolution and the Israeli action. We must not
believe the Americans, especially since we have a long history with them,
full of schemes and false promises … perhaps you remember … the plots of the
infamous Jew Henry Kissinger …”

“The aggression against Iraq is aggression against Palestine. Anyone who does
not say "no" to the U.S. is an enemy of Palestine.”
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida 11/12/97
“What ‘Israel’ is trying to do … by way of its control over a number of
institutions in the US, such as the Congress and its allies … reveals the
nakedness of those people and their blind submission to world Zionism. … The
peace equation was somewhat violated, since the Zionists were able to
demonstrate their power in the US … that is the power which was clearly
revealed in the Zionist American Congress which led to the terrorizing of the
American president and the administration, through threats of sex and morals
scandals which are disseminated by the obedient media in the US …”

“Dennis Ross’s mission is finished… This Jewish emissary failed to convince
our president and our national authority to wage war against our brothers the
‘Hamas’ and the ‘Islamic Jihad.’ It was made clear to him that we will not be
the spear in the war of the West and the Jews against the true Islam… Ross …
will return, and with him or in his place will return his Jewish Secretary of
State, Madeleine Albright, when Washington feels Israel is in distress…”

“Ahmad Qurei [Abu 'Alaa], Legislative Council Chairman, said that he is not
surprised by the American resolution [to shut down the PLO offices in
Washington] ...since it appears that the Congress of the number one world
superpower is more extreme and more Zionist than the Netanyahu government,
and even more than the extreme of the extremist right-wing movements in
Israel. Abu 'Alaa pointed to the stupid, irresponsible congressional
resolution on Jerusalem and the settlements.”
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida 08/14/97
“Mr. Ross honors us with his visit today, only after the shattered limbs of
the Jews are scattered throughout Mahane Yehuda.” [Referring to an Islamic
homicide bomber attack at a Jerusalem market in which a number of Jews were
blown to bits.]

“Hollywood movies do not show the violence, torture, and crazy coercion that
the unarmed peace-loving American Indians suffered. These included mass
murder, camp burnings, the expulsion of tribes from their land, the
eradication of wild life, the spreading of contagious diseases, and the
desecration of holy sites. The American administration disregarded the
agreements that it signed with the tribal chiefs and forced the tribes to
live in closed reserves with poor living conditions. Anyone who knows this
subject can recognize the similarity between our Palestinian problems and the
history of the American Indians.” [I would agree with this statement, except
it is the Arabs who inflict this treatment upon Israelis. Ari]

“The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine called to act in every way

“The ‘diseased’ world order and the new racial discrimination in American
policy lead a terror campaign against the so-called ‘Third World.’ The US
uses its hegemony and influence in order to harm ‘The Third World’ by using
Iraqi children, the Iraqi people, and all of the peoples of the region.
Whatever the excuses and outcomes of this policy may be, [the question is
whether] the US could wash its hands of the blood of the innocent? The
stubbornness and despotism [of the US] do not justify its crimes against
humanity, crimes that have reached an intolerable level. We are not
complaining about the [American] fire of oppression and aggression, but draw
strength from it, because the will of Allah is superior to all else. The US
and all those who beat the drums of war with it must understand that he who
draws the sword of oppression from its sheath will die by the sword, and
those who play with fire will be burnt by it, Allah willing.”

“‘… America's aggressive behavior … aims at bringing the Arab nation to its
knees by putting sanctions on Iraq, Sudan, and Libya...’ Ibrahim called on
all the Arab and Islamic forces to take a position of Jihad alongside The
Sudan, Palestine, Iraq, and Libya in order to remove the siege and oppression
from the masses of the Arab nation.”
Haydar Ibrahim, Secretary General, Union of the Workers of Palestine
—

“[The Palestinians must] harm American interests in the Arab world, with all
possible means, in all places, at all levels, because the United States does
not understand the language of logic and wisdom, but only the language of

“The suicide bombers of today are the noble successors of their noble

lesson in [Lebanon]… These suicide bombers are the salt of the earth, the

“[Maher Taher], a member of the political bureau of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, ... said in a press conference in Damascus: “We say
to the Arab nation, ‘Hit American interests and threaten them. United States
is a fundamental enemy which takes part and holds responsibility to the
elimination of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian villages.’ He asked
the Arab countries to take a clear and strict position towards USA, which is
the a fundamental enemy of the Palestinian people and Arab Nation.”
