Flyer given out on July 7, 2006THE SOURCE OF THE CONFLICT
Here are declarations made by Palestinians leaders on Arab television. You can see and hear those declarations here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-7kid5yFhw
It is clear that when Palestinians speak of the Israeli "occupation", they don't speak of the disputed territories of Gaza and the West Bank. They speak of ALL OF ISRAEL! They want to destroy Israel, a legitimate country created in 1948 by the United Nations. That is the source of the conflict.
- Nizar Riyan, Hamas Leader in Gaza, Al Jazeera TV (Qatar), 30 December 2005:
"We shall return! Despite the borders, despite the obstacles, despite the Jews. We will regain Safed*, we will regain Beit Shean*. We will regain Tiberias*. We will regain Ashkelon*. We will regain Lod*, we will regain the entire country. Dear Bashar (president of Syria), destroy Tel Aviv*!"- Khaled Mash'al, Hamas Leader in Damascus, Al Jazeera TV (Qatar), 30 December 2005:
"Who can tell, my brothers and sisters, when we will celebrate on this podium, the liberation of the West Bank? When we will celebrate the liberation of Jaffa*, Haifa*, Safed* and the Negev*? When we will celebrate the departure of the last Zionist from our land? Yes, some people ask when will this happen. I say: it could be soon. Such is our faith in Allah. We have no doubt that victory will come. And just as we liberated Palestine from the Crusaders (the Christians) and the Mongols, we will regain it, pure and purified from the Zionist occupiers."- Senior Hamas Official, Marmoud Al-Zahar, Al Manar TV (Lebanon), April 13, 2005:
"We are convinced that the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine, from the (Mediterranean) Sea to the (Jordan) River (meaning Israel), from Rosh-Hanikra* to Raffa*, is a Koranic truth in which we believe as sure as I see you on this screen."- Hamas Friday Sermons in Gaza. Al Jazeera TV (Qatar), September 16, 2005
"We have come here in multitudes to proclaim that Hirbya* and Ashkelon* will be taken by the mujahideen. We have come here to say that the weapons of the resistance that you see here will remain, Allah willing, until we liberate Palestine, all of Palestine, from the (Mediterranean) Sea to the (Jordan) River (meaning Israel), whether they like it or not. With the blessings of Allah, our land will be liberated and we will walk in Tel Aviv*, Haifa* and Jaffa *."- Hamas Rally in Ramallah, Al Jazeera TV (Qatar), September 23, 2005. Voice of Bashir Al-Kheiri, member of the FPLP leadership
"Gaza is not all of Palestine. Palestine is still occupied. Haifa*, Jaffa*, Lod*, Ramla*, the Galilee* and the Negev* are also Palestine. And without liberating all of Palestine, the occupation will not be defeated."* Cities and areas in Israel proper, inside the pre-1967 borders.
