"There will be no recognition of Israel and there will be no security for the occupation and colonization forces. Resistance will remain our strategic option."
"As a Palestinian today I speak of a Palestinian and Arab demand for a state on 1967 borders. It is true that in reality there will be an entity or a state called Israel on the rest of Palestinian land. This is reality but I don’t deal with it from the point of view of recognizing or admitting it."

"Before Israel dies, it must be humiliated and degraded. Allah willing, before they die, they will experience humiliation and degradation every day."
"Resistance will continue as long as the occupation and aggression continues. There is no recognition of Israel, no matter what the cost is."
"I bring good tidings to our beloved Prophet Muhammad: Allah's promise and the Prophet's prophecy of our victory in Palestine over the Jews and over the oppressive Zionists has begun to come true."
"We are living like brothers, Christians and Muslims. Also the Jews lived in peace with us before the occupation began."
"It is Israel that must recognize Palestine's rights. We cannot believe in empty statements, twiddle our thumbs and watch our children getting killed. Israel must end occupation and aggression, and our actions won't take much longer after that."
