As long as we are under occupation then it is our right to resist. |
I say to the American administration and to the Europeans and to the international community who are asking us to stop the resistance -- or as they call it, terrorism -- that if they don't like the way our armed groups look, we are ready to unify them with the consensus of all Palestinians and make them an army like any other country. |
In our opinion, the problem is not in the position of the Palestinian people, but in the occupation. We are for peace in the region, which may become possible only after the end of the occupation. |
Talking to Israel is a waste of time as long as there is no talk about withdrawing from Palestine. |
The Israeli state is the aggressor and the occupier. The Palestinians are the victims. So who should recognize whom? |
The world raised the slogan of democracy, and now it should respect the results of democracy. If you want to punish the Palestinian people for practicing democracy, then the American administration should punish Americans for choosing President Bush. |
We are realistic and we know things are done gradually. Being against the occupation does not mean that I can eliminate Israel in mere seconds. |
We hope after Turkey to go to other countries. Maybe it is the first step to Europe and the West. |
We've received the same support from friendly Turkish authorities as Arab countries. We've received very useful advice. This is very important advice for Palestine, its people and its future. We're taking this advice very seriously. |
With respect to the challenges that we have ahead of us, Iran's role in the future of Palestine should continue and increase. |
