“Israeli occupation exposes us very young to the extremes of our emotions, until we cannot feel except in the extreme.”

“شعبنا لم يترك بلاده بإرادته، شعبنا طُرد من بلاده، ليس على اللاجئين ولا على أبنائهم أن يشعروا بمسؤولية الهرب من أوطانهم، إسرائيل هي المسؤولة.. هم طُردوا طرداً. لذلك حينما أتحدث عن تجربة جيلي فإنني أقصد هذه الأمور، مررنا على هذه المأساة نفسها. أنا وجيلي، رأينا هذه المأساة وعليكم أن لا تكرروها.”

“The bottom line is this: Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens--and honor its own previous commitments--by accepting its legal borders. All Arab neighbors must pledge to honor Israel's right to live in peace under these conditions. The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.”
― Jimmy Carter, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid

“We can not fight for our rights and our history as well as future until we are armed with weapons of criticism and dedicated consciousness.”
