Ismail Haniyeh

“השנה אנו מציינים את היום הזה עם תקווה גדולה לשים סוף לפרויקט הציוני בפלסטין.”

“הקיום שלה לא לגיטימי.”

“המשך של המדיניות האמריקאית המבוססת על דיכוי ושפיכת דם ערבי ומוסלמי. חיסול של לוחם ערבי קדוש.”

“נקבל מדינה פלסטינית עם חזרה לגבולות 67' כשהבירה היא ירושלים, שחרור כל האסירים הפלסטינים ופתרון בעיית הפליטים. חמאס יכבד את התוצאות, גם אם הן יהיו שונות מהאידיאולוגיה והעקרונות שלנו.”

“ניצחנו ניצחון גדול, הדפנו את המתקפה ולא השגתם את מטרותיכם.”

“מאות טונות של הפצצות הורדו על עזה, על ילדים, על נשים. זוהי מלחמה שמטרתה לפגוע בכל מה שנמצא על האדמה, אפילו במסגדים ובאוניברסיטאות... הילד הפלשתינאי ינצח את המטוס הנושא אלפי טונות של פצצות, והעם הפלשתינאי ינצח את הטנקים שממתינים לאישור על מנת לבצע מעשי טבח נוספים נגד הפלשתינאים.”

“אני מודה לאללה על הכבוד הזה שבו העניק לנו את מות הקדושים של שלושת בני וכמה נכדי.”

“The increasing mistrust between the Arab-Muslim peoples and the western world is rooted in the conflict in Palestine.”

“I know that many in Europe are unhappy with their governments' policies toward the Palestinians.”

“We repeat today that we are with the establishment of a Palestinian state on any liberated part of Palestinian land that is agreed upon by the Palestinian people, without recognizing Israel or conceding any inch of historical Palestine.”

“The victory of Hamas is not only based on the corruption of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas has a vision and a program, and this is the reason why the Palestinian people chose Hamas. However, there is no doubt that the corruption helped Hamas's victory.”

“When the Israeli leaders launched their expansionist war in June 1967 they never envisaged that 40 years later they would still be haunted by the consequences.”

“Doesn't the world see the suffering of millions of Palestinians who have been living in exile around the world or in refugee camps for the past 60 years? No state, no home, no identity, no right to work. Doesn't the world see this injustice?”

“I hope that Americans will give careful and well-informed thought to root causes and historical realities, in which case I think they will question why a supposedly 'legitimate' state such as Israel has had to conduct decades of war against a subject refugee population without ever achieving its goals.”

“Which Israel should we recognize? The Israel of 1917; the Israel of 1936; the Israel of 1948; the Israel of 1956; or the Israel of 1967? Which borders and which Israel? Israel has to recognize first the Palestinian state and its borders and then we will know what we are talking about.”

“Today three-quarters of the Palestinian people are displaced: there are 5 million Palestinian refugees throughout the world.”

“Getting rid of Bin Laden is good for the cause of peace worldwide but what counts is to overcome the discourse and the methods - the violent methods - that were created and encouraged by Bin Laden and others in the world.”

“I ask the American administration not to participate in any resolution that will double the suffering of the Palestinian people. I am convinced that the American people would not want to see the Palestinians suffer the way they do.”

“Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away.”

“Every Palestinian family feels the effects of the international embargo. But the more the pressure on the government grows, the more support we receive, both from the Palestinian street and from the Arab and Islamic world.”
