• The international community...cannot simply call on Palestinians to abandon violence in the face of Israeli occupation and remain silent when the nonviolent activists are politically repressed. This only reinforces the idea that the use of force reigns supreme and that Palestinians have no choice but to accept hardships at the hands of their Israeli lords.

• Nunca he visto una sola manifestación en Pakistán, en las calles de Gaza, en Cisjordania, en la que la gente haya salido con pancartas que dijeran: "Por favor, dennos mejores carreteras. Por favor, dennos nuevas clínicas prenatales. Por favor, dennos un nuevo sistema de alcantarillado". Estoy seguro de que les gustarían esas cosas, pero no es lo que exigen en las manifestaciones. En las manifestaciones hablan de justicia, hablan del fin de la ocupación israelí.

• Israeli occupation exposes us very young to the extremes of our emotions, until we cannot feel except in the extreme.

• Toughness found fertile soil in the hearts of Palestinians, and the grains of resistance embedded themselves in their skin. Endurance evolved as a hallmark of refugee society. But the price they paid was the subduing of tender vulnerability. They learned to celebrate martyrdom. Only martyrdom offered freedom. Only in death were they at last invulnerable to Israel. Martyrdom became the ultimate defiance of Israeli occupation.

• So long as there is an Israeli occupation in Palestine and so long as U.S. policy is biased, the so-called terrorism that the United States fears will escalate because the mistakes of U.S. foreign policy are pouring oil on fire.

• Lo que me resulta... inquietante es que muchos de estos legisladores proisraelíes formen parte de la Comisión de Relaciones Internacionales de la Cámara de Representantes a pesar del evidente conflicto de intereses que sus vínculos emocionales con Israel provocan... La ocupación israelí de todos los territorios debe terminar, incluido el Congreso.

• Saying that the origin of the Islamic State (IS) is within the Muslim Brotherhood organisation only strengthens IS. This is what the Israeli government asserts when claiming that Hamas and IS are the exact same thing. By saying so, the historical resistance [against the Israeli occupation] is viewed as unlawful, called extremism and terrorism.

• I hope that the Palestinians don't make the mistake of unleashing a new intifada. They've tried it twice before, and the consequences were bad for both sides. But I don't think the forces are there (that could carry out) an uprising against the leadership. The people that could initiate it are in Israeli prisons. And what could they hope to achieve? In the end, they're too weak to end the Israeli occupation.

• Resistance is a holy right for the Palestinian people to face the Israeli occupation. Nobody should forget that the Palestinian people negotiated for 10 years and accepted difficult and humiliating agreements, and in the end didn't get anything except authority over the people, and no authority over land, or sovereignty.
