I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.

I have no secret methods. I know no diplomacy save that of truth. I have no weapon but non-violence.

The land is ours. I will do everything in my power, forever, to fight against a Palestinian state being founded in the Land of Israel.
