It is an exaggeration to call the Hamas and Islamic Jihad announcement a military alliance. It is rather a message that our people are united in the face of Israeli aggression.

Gaza has 1.2 million Palestinians living in crowded places and the resistance will be strong.

Resistance in Palestine will continue until the final liberation of all the Palestinian lands.

There are many resistance movements in the world, like the IRA for instance. But it is only Islamic resistance movements that are put on the terrorist list. This is what I am saying.

Hamas' battle is against the Zionist occupation in the Palestinian land. Hamas has no desire to change its battlefield.

Where are the Muslim people's sponsors? Where are its kings? Where are its leaders? The Muslim people is calling upon you, Jerusalem is appealing to you, will anyone answer?

The so-called peace path is not peace and it is not a substitute for jihad and resistance

Israel, as the Jewish state, must disappear from the map.

We did not fight the Americans or the Europeans. We fight only the Israeli enemy that took our homes and homeland.

The attacks inside Israel are operations we carry out in response to Israeli crimes against our people.

I think Israel will think one thousands times before invading Gaza.

Time vanquishes even the strongest of strongholds.

We have to always hope in humanity that people will make the right choices.

Great problems that face the world today in both the private and the public sphere cannot be solved by women – or by men – alone. They can only be surmounted by men and women side by side.

That whose existence is necessary must necessarily be one essence.

The tougher the job, the greater the reward.

It is like visiting one's funeral, like visiting loss in its purest and most monumental form, this wild darkness, which is not only unknown but which one cannot enter as oneself.

I believe that cunning is not only morally wrong but also politically expedient, and have therefore always discountenanced its use even from the practical standpoint.

Nonviolence abhors fear and therefore, secrecy.

My basic political posture is "what a shame the human race did this to earth." What we have done environmentally, politically, culturally.

Small minds just like light winds can never create giant waves.
