“When Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand.” by Canada's PM Harper

Three quotes

Goals: Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence. Method: Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic… in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished.... Opposing any political solution offered as an alternative to demolishing the Zionist occupation in Palestine.
– Fatah Constitution

Israel will exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it…. Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement…. The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight [kill] the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.
– Hamas Charter

When somebody says they want to kill you, you should believe them.
– A Holocaust survivor

In fact they don't need any comment, do they? Yet I will add few points:

  • in 1947 the proposed by UN resolution dividing former British mandate between Arabs and Jews (with Jewish territory far smaller than it was after the 1948 war) was accepted by Jews and by UN and rejected by Arabs who didn't want ANY Jewish state,
  • the day Israel was declared she was attacked by 5 Arab armies - far from attacking anybody she was under constant attack
  • there were in aftermath of Independence War (1948) over 1 million Jewish refugees from Arab countries (expelled as they stood, quite often, with all their belongings requisited) versus some 700.000 Arab refugees (I will write about it more closely some time in the future)
  • Organisation of Liberation of Palestine calling for "liberation from occupation" was founded in 1964, 3 years BEFORE 6 Days War meaning that what today is West Bank and PA territory was under Jordanian rule, still, the movement was NOT anti-Jordanian but calling for destruction of Israel
  • even after Oslo records Fatah never removed from its constitution calling for destruction of Israel
  • at least 3 times Palestinians could have their country (starting in 1948) but it was never the main goal - the main goal was and remins destruction of Israel
  • the best way to cease hostilities is to allow people have friendships, relationships, common interests, businesses together, educate their children together yet even in West Bank (no to mention Gaza) people who befriended Israelis - in a normal way, to have coffee together and so on - were often accused by authorities for treason and punished
