As the current U.S.-Israel assault raged, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman explained that Israel's tactics in the current attack, as in its invasion of Lebanon in 2006, are based on the sound principle of "trying to 'educate' Hamas, by inflicting a heavy death toll on Hamas militants and heavy pain on the Gaza population." That makes sense on pragmatic grounds, as it did in Lebanon, where "the only long-term source of deterrence was to exact enough pain on the civilians - the families and employers of the militants - to restrain Hezbollah in the future."10 And by similar logic, bin Laden's effort to "educate" Americans on 9/11 was highly praiseworthy, as were the Nazi attacks on Lidice and Oradour, Putin's destruction of Grozny, and other notable educational exercises. ~ Noam Chomsky
Gaza quotes by Noam Chomsky
We should demand his blood not from the Arabs of Gaza but from ourselves. Let us make our reckoning today. ~ Moshe Dayan
Gaza quotes by Moshe Dayan
I am a physician, and as a consequence I see things most clearly in medical terms. I am arguing that we need an immunization program, one that injects people with respect, dignity, and equality. One that inoculates them against hatred. ~ Izzeldin Abuelaish
Gaza quotes by Izzeldin Abuelaish
The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind ~ Theodorus Gaza
Gaza quotes by Theodorus Gaza
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come. ~ Michael Franti
Gaza quotes by Michael Franti
Art as activism. Like Banksy?"
"Man, Banksy's some white-ass bullshit. Sorry," he apologizes hastily, as though he might've offended my white-ass feelings.
[...]
"A'ight, so the dude flew out to Gaza to spray-paint a kitten on a house that'd been destroyed in an air strike. Like, the fuck? Talk about insensitive. Then our white savior has the audacity to call it art, to demand folks listen to his views on the atrocities of war, rather than the Palestinians who lived through it." He shakes his head, his hand tensing and untensing in mine. "Sorry. Shit drives me crazy sometimes. ~ Laura Steven
Gaza quotes by Laura Steven
Each time there is a conflict between Israel and Gaza, accusations fly over who started it, each side blaming the other. ~ Richard Engel
Gaza quotes by Richard Engel
The truce brokered by Egypt between Israel and Hamas depends, above all, on the borders between Egypt, Gaza and Israel. ~ Elliott Abrams
Gaza quotes by Elliott Abrams
Where were the calls for a no-fly zone when Israel attacked Gaza ~ George Galloway
Gaza quotes by George Galloway
What to tell you? Gaza is frustrating these days - well, these years. It's a good exercise in patience, at least. ~ Refaat Alareer
Gaza quotes by Refaat Alareer
The situation in the West Bank and Gaza involves a military occupation amid urban guerrilla warfare, analogous to the British security measures in Northern Island, that hopefully will end with a cease-fire. ~ Jack Schwartz
Gaza quotes by Jack Schwartz
Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I'd sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, 'Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.' It really made me think about the importance of happy music. ~ Michael Franti
Gaza quotes by Michael Franti
The one thing that I'm absolutely sure about is that the people of Gaza aren't going anywhere. And neither are the people of Israel. ~ Ross Kemp
Gaza quotes by Ross Kemp
The U.S. should support the historic Gaza withdrawal as a first step toward a final settlement: a permanent Palestinian state in Gaza and nearly all of the West Bank. ~ Lee H. Hamilton
Gaza quotes by Lee H. Hamilton
Every week 10,000 tons of food, medicine, and other humanitarian supplies are sent by Israel to Gaza. ~ Charles Krauthammer
Gaza quotes by Charles Krauthammer
But blaming Islam is a simple answer, easier and less controversial than re-examining the core political issues and grievances that resonate in much of the Muslim world: the failures of many Muslim governments and societies, some aspects of U.S. foreign policy representing intervention and dominance, Western support for authoritarian regimes, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, or support for Israel's military battles with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. (p. 136-137) ~ John L. Esposito
Gaza quotes by John L. Esposito
The economy in Gaza is declining because Gaza is controlled by a terror regime. ~ Ayelet Shaked
Gaza quotes by Ayelet Shaked
I've noticed that 'news' is not what's happened. It's what's happened on camera. If a herd of tigers runs amok in a remote Indian village, it's not news. If a gang of wide-eyed rebels slaughters the inhabitants of a faraway African village, it's not news. But if it's a bit windy in America, it is news. Because in America everything that happens is recorded. I find myself wondering if last week's Israeli raid on a Turkish ship in a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza would have had the coverage it did if the battle hadn't been captured on film. And likewise the racing driver who broke a leg after crashing in the Indy 500. It only became a big deal because we could watch the accident from several angles in slow motion. ~ Jeremy Clarkson
Gaza quotes by Jeremy Clarkson
A great means to preserve continual peace and tranquillity of soul is to receive everything from the hands of God, both great and small, and in whatever way it comes. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
There is something very consistent about governance in the Arab world. Among the Arab countries today in which there is a modicum of internal stability, each is controlled by an Arafat-type figure - an anti-democratic strongman who is able to crush all challenges to his authority. Likewise, among those Arab countries that aren't ruled by a despot, the political dynamic is also consistent: In Lebanon, Iraq, and now Gaza, sectarian violence is the dominant form of political expression. ~ Michael Totten
Gaza quotes by Michael Totten
cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of q Aven, [4] and him who holds the scepter from r Beth-eden; and the people of s Syria shall go into exile to t Kir," says the LORD. 6Thus says the LORD: k "For three transgressions of u Gaza, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because v they carried into exile a whole people ~ Anonymous
Gaza quotes by Anonymous
And the PRCS [Palestinian Red Crescent Society] had not lost just one hospital: thirteen clinics and nine hospitals all over Lebanon had been destroyed in this way. Only Gaza Hospital, for a reason I was to discover three years later, was still standing. At the height of the air raids, when the Palestinians found out that every single PRCS hospital and clinic was a bomb target, they put three Israeli soldiers captured in south Lebanon on the upper floors of Gaza Hospital, and radioed a message to the Israeli Army saying that any further military action on Gaza Hospital would result in Israeli lives being lost. That saved Gaza Hospital from further destruction. ~ Ang Swee Chai
Gaza quotes by Ang Swee Chai
A man who prays without ceasing, if he achieves something, knows why he achieved it, and can take no pride in it ... for he cannot attribute it to his own powers, but attributes all his achievements to God, always renders thanks to him and constantly calls upon him, trembling lest he be deprived of help. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
Imagine that the world is a circle, that God is the center, and that the radii are the different ways human beings live. When those who wish to come closer to God walk towards the center of the circle, they come closer to one another at the same time as to God. The closer they come to God, the closer they come to one another. And the closer they come to one another, the closer they come to God. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
One wonders what exactly Israel did to earn Arab enmity between 1948 and 1967, when Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordan controlled Judea and Samaria. ~ Ben Shapiro
Gaza quotes by Ben Shapiro
I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon. What happened is that Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and Gaza. I do not think that's justified, no. ~ Jimmy Carter
Gaza quotes by Jimmy Carter
Imagine urself waking up & finding urself inside that roar of rockets, bombardment & death symphony played by the howling of weepings. ~ Bela Anĝelo
Gaza quotes by Bela Anĝelo
I saw no evidence during my week in Gaza of Israel's accusation that Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields. ~ Jeremy Bowen
Gaza quotes by Jeremy Bowen
Gaza will become part of sovereign Israel and will be populated by Jews. This will also serve to ease the housing crisis in Israel ~ Moshe Feiglin
Gaza quotes by Moshe Feiglin
The militarization of the police leads us to think about Israel and the militarization of the police there - if only the images of the police and not of the demonstrators had been shown, one might have assumed that Ferguson was Gaza. I think that it is important to recognize the extent to which, in the aftermath of the advent of the war on terror, police departments all over the US have been equipped with the means to allegedly "fight terror. ~ Angela Y. Davis
Gaza quotes by Angela Y. Davis
Gaza has 1.2 million Palestinians living in crowded places and the resistance will be strong. ~ Ahmed Yassin
Gaza quotes by Ahmed Yassin
Israel attacked Gaza solely in response to hundreds of rockets sent by Hamas to kill as many Israelis as possible. ~ Dennis Prager
Gaza quotes by Dennis Prager
If you cannot be merciful, at least speak as though you are a sinner. If you are not a peacemaker, at least do not be a troublemaker. If you cannot be assiduous, at least in your thought be like a sluggard. If you are not victorious, do not exalt yourself over the vanquished. If you cannot close the mouth of a man who disparages his companion, at least refrain from joining him in this.- St. Isaac the Syrian ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
We of course will say we claim sovereignty of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza district. Others will come, and they will say we claim sovereignty. What can be the outcome? ~ Menachem Begin
Gaza quotes by Menachem Begin
Half the published articles on Gaza contain a standard reference to its resemblance to a vast open-air prison (and when I last saw it under Israeli occupation it certainly did deserve this metaphor). The problem is that, given its ideology and its allies, Hamas qualifies rather too well in the capacity of guard and warder. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Gaza quotes by Christopher Hitchens
We can never totally return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders, ... We simply cannot afford to make Israel 14.48 km (9 miles) wide again at its center. We can't allow the Palestinians to be a couple of [miles] from [Tel Aviv's] Ben-Gurion Airport in the age of shoulder-fire missiles with the capacity to shoot down jumbo jets. But that doesn't mean we must remain in every corner of the West Bank or in Gaza, where fewer than 10,000 Jews, living next to 1.3 million Palestinians, have been protected by twice as many soldiers. ~ Ehud Olmert
Gaza quotes by Ehud Olmert
My message to the international community is that our silence and complicity especially on the situation in Gaza shames us all. It is almost like the behaviour of the military junta in Burma ~ Desmond Tutu
Gaza quotes by Desmond Tutu
I hear all the time that peace activists are naive, that it is impossible to talk to extremists--people who have no regard for the lives of innocents... But in my experience in conflict zones the world over, there are always people to talk to. From members of Hamas in Gaza to Baathists under Saddam's Iraq to the Taliban in Afganistan to government officials in Iran, it is a major blunder to label all our perceived enemies as extremists incapable of rational conversation. People join militant groups for many reasons--religious, family, social pressure, revenge for some wrong they experienced, political ideology, poverty. With such diversity of motives, the are always some people who can be enticed to talk about peace. Our goal should be to seek them out, to strengthen the moderates. Unfortunately, our actions have only served to embolden the extremists. ~ Medea Benjamin
Gaza quotes by Medea Benjamin
Oh, Brethren, what is the result of pride? Oh, see what humility can do? What was the need for all these sufferings? For, if from the beginning Man had humbled himself, obeyed God, and kept the commandment he would not have fallen. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
Hamas thinks they can kill the will of people by intimidation. Most of those who are killed in the Gaza Strip for the suspicion of collaborating with Israel, have nothing to do with Israel. ~ Mosab Hassan Yousef
Gaza quotes by Mosab Hassan Yousef
The area occupied by the Christians in Syria and Palestine, called Outremer because of its location beyond the Mediterranean Sea, was a thin coastal strip extending from Armenia in the north to the borders of the Fatimid caliphate of Egypt in the south. By 1109, the Christian territory was divided into four large states: the Kingdom of Jerusalem, extending from Gaza to Beirut; the County of Tripoli, from Beirut to Margat; the Principality of Antioch, from Margat to Alexandria; and the County of Edessa, which stretched northeast all the way to present-day Urfa. These Latin states were governed by noble courts in much the same way as their counterparts in Europe. They were often rocked by dynastic disputes, which, together with the scarcity of available troops and the latent threat of Muslim attack, put the security of the Christian population in a constant state of uncertainty. ~ Barbara Frale
Gaza quotes by Barbara Frale
Sources of economic growth are all completely destroyed – the airport (runways demolished, totally closed); the border for trade with Egypt (now with a sniper tower in the middle of the crossing); access to the ocean (completely cut off in the last two years ). ~ Rachel Corrie
Gaza quotes by Rachel Corrie
Israel will not and should not leave until it is clear that the West Bank can be policed by Palestinians and that the region will not be a source of terrorism against Israel, as Gaza and South Lebanon became when Israel left there. ~ Elliott Abrams
Gaza quotes by Elliott Abrams
Therefore, we know about God that He loves and shows pity on His creatures, and also that He is the source of wisdom and knows how to govern everything concerning us. Nothing is impossible for Him, but everything is subject to His will. We must also realize that everything He does is for our benefit and we must accept it with thankfulness ... as from a benefactor and a good lord even if is troublesome. For everything is done with right judgment, and God, Who is merciful, does not overlook even the smallest sadness that we suffer. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
A man obtains the fear of God if he has the remembrance of his unavoidable death and of the eternal torments that await sinners; If he tests himself every evening as to how he has spent the day, and every morning as to how he has spent the night, and if is not sharp in his relations with others. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
I practice on the roads of Gaza as we don't have good stadiums and tracks so I gave my best. ~ Nader Al-Masri
Gaza quotes by Nader Al-Masri
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back. ~ Jane Harman
Gaza quotes by Jane Harman
Again, after his fall, God gave him an occasion to repent and to receive mercy but he kept his stiff-neck held high. He came to him and said "Adam, Where are you?" instead of saying "What glory you have left and what dishonor you have arrived at?" After that, He asked him "Why did you sin? Why did you transgress the commandment?" By asking these questions, He wanted to give him the opportunity to say, "Forgive me." However, he did not ask for forgiveness. There was no humility, there was no repentance, but indeed the opposite. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
Two years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon described the Gaza Strip settlement of Netzarim as a vital part of Israel's national security and now he is going to leave. That is because of the 'effective armed struggle'. ~ Zuheir Mohsen
Gaza quotes by Zuheir Mohsen
When you understand that your tax dollars pay for those tear gas canisters that were being fired into the crowd, and when you see that, and to know that a little bit of your fingerprint, your American DNA is a part of that, as well as those stealth bombers and that bomb that's lodged in the side of the school that has "Made in USA" on it in Gaza, and all of the unmanned drones that are blowing up weddings and things of that nature, to know that you pay for that, you really have - you don't have to do it now, but you need to think about that. ~ Lupe Fiasco
Gaza quotes by Lupe Fiasco
If in the past, you didnt cry out when thousands of protestors were killed and injured by Turkey, Egypt and Libya, when more victims than ever were hanged by Iran, women and children in Afghanistan were bombed, whole communities were massacred in South Sudan, 1800 Palestinians were starved and murdered by Assad in Syria, hundreds in Pakistan were killed by jihadist terrorist attacks, 10,000 Iraqis were killed by terrorists, villagers were slaughtered in Nigeria, but you ONLY cry out for Gaza, then you are NOT Pro- Human Rights, you are only Anti-Israel. ~ Hillel Neuer
Gaza quotes by Hillel Neuer
Soldier on guard says they've identified "someone on two legs a hundred metres from the outpost". The other soldier, in the lookout, says "A girl about ten," but by then they're already shooting. Girl's dead[ ... ]The point is this use of code, on two legs, denoting human. It reminded me of that speech by their Prime Minister saying that we were beasts walking on two legs [ ... ]The idea that having legs makes you human. I thought of adding a Primo Levi-ish dimension to it. Merging this two-legged idea with a sort of general question about what is a man, you know, linking it to "if this is a man who labours in the mud/ who knows no peace/ who fights for a crust of bread?" [ ... ] my thesis being that the occupation, the closures, the siege have made amputees of all of us, crawling around in the mud. Legless in Gaza. The lot of us. ~ Selma Dabbagh
Gaza quotes by Selma Dabbagh
In November 2008, the day of the presidential election, Israeli military forces invaded Gaza and killed half a dozen Hamas militants. Well, that was followed by a missile exchange for a couple of weeks in both directions. ~ Noam Chomsky
Gaza quotes by Noam Chomsky
I feel a freedom when I start running. If I don't train, I feel like everyone else in the Gaza Strip. ~ Nader Al-Masri
Gaza quotes by Nader Al-Masri
So we should not be surprised when The Economist tells us that "in Beirut, Cairo, Dubai, Riyadh or even Gaza City, small technology firms are multiplying."18 We should not be surprised that in many Middle East cities women comprise 35 percent of Internet entrepreneurs, three times the global rate for such startups.19 We should not be surprised that in high-growth industries twice as many entrepreneurs are over fifty as are under twenty-five.20 Entrepreneurs are everywhere. Opportunities to nourish them are everywhere, too. ~ Steven R. Koltai
Gaza quotes by Steven R. Koltai
When Israel gave Gaza over to the Palestinians, it did not embargo essentials such as cement. But none of the millions of tons of cement allowed, or later smuggled, into Gaza were used to building schools or hospitals. They were used to build tunnels to smuggle terrorists into Israel and to hide rockets. ~ Dennis Prager
Gaza quotes by Dennis Prager
Those [American Jews] who favor the [Israeli] attack on Gaza are certainly guilty of such overwhelming emotional and cultural attachment to Israel and Israelis, that they long ago ceased viewing this conflict with any remnant of objectivity. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Gaza quotes by Glenn Greenwald
Obviously this is the world descending into worse and worse standards of targeting civilians both in state violence in Iraq, Gaza and so on and the terrorist retaliation. ~ Clare Short
Gaza quotes by Clare Short
From the U.S. point of view, negotiations are, in effect, a way for Israel to continue its policies of systematically taking over whatever it wants in the West Bank, maintaining the brutal siege on Gaza, separating Gaza from the West Bank and, of course, occupying the Syrian Golan heights, all with full U.S. support. ~ Noam Chomsky
Gaza quotes by Noam Chomsky
We see nation-states collapsing all around us: Libya, Syria, Iraq. We do not want another failed state in our neighborhood, which would rapidly turn into a stronghold for terrorists, as we have seen in Gaza. We do not want tunnels to suburbs of Tel Aviv or missiles pointed at Jerusalem. ~ Ayelet Shaked
Gaza quotes by Ayelet Shaked
Conscience is called the adversary, because it always opposes our evil will; it reminds us of what we ought to do but do not, and condemns us if we do something we ought not. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
And now I pass from my exile to their...homeland? My homeland? The West Bank and Gaza? The Occupied Territories? The Areas? Judea and Samaria? The Autonomous Government? Israel? Palestine? Is there any other country in the world that so perplexes you with its names? ~ Mourid Barghouti
Gaza quotes by Mourid Barghouti
I never tried to be Jay Z or Big Poppa,
I'm underground like them dead children buried in Gaza ~ Immortal Technique
Gaza quotes by Immortal Technique
Those who threaten Israel threaten us. Israel has always faced these threats on the frontlines, and I will bring to the White House an unshakable commitment to Israel's security. That starts with insuring Israel's qualitative military advantage. I will insure that Israel can defend itself from any threat, from Gaza to Tehran. ~ Barack Obama
Gaza quotes by Barack Obama
It is human nature to seek revenge in the face of relentless suffering. You can't expect an unhealthy person to think logically. ~ Izzeldin Abuelaish
Gaza quotes by Izzeldin Abuelaish
But I'll tell you the truth: The world needs more peacemaker instead of warmonger. ~ Kristian Goldmund Aumann
Gaza quotes by Kristian Goldmund Aumann
There are no innocents in Gaza, don't let any diplomats who want to look good in the world endanger your lives - mow them down! ~ Michael Ben-Ari
Gaza quotes by Michael Ben-Ari
He [Erdogan] has crept up to the edge talking about mistakes by pilots. But he also knows that with leaders like himself and Vladimir Putin, apologies may not be the answer. Just look at Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu apologized years ago to Erdogan over this incident off the coast of Gaza in which Turkish people died onboard an aid ship. And only just now is that relationship at least in talks to be improved. ~ Peter Kenyon
Gaza quotes by Peter Kenyon
They are going to leave [Gaza], not because this is a gift from Israel. This is because they failed to confront our people, so don't describe their withdrawal from here ... as a gift for the Palestinians. This is because they are defeated here. HAMAS will never recognize the existence of a Jewish State in the region. ~ Zuheir Mohsen
Gaza quotes by Zuheir Mohsen
But not all Gaza residents were committed to the war. A reporter asked one of the Arabs what he most wanted. He was a taxi driver, father of ten. All he wanted was 'to eat and to work.' What did he think of Nasser? 'Nasser is good, Israel is good, America is good, Britain is good, Canada is good, India is good, Anything is good. ~ Robert John Donovan
Gaza quotes by Robert John Donovan
Ask for this great deliverer now, and find him Eyeless in Gaza at the mill with slaves. ~ John Milton
Gaza quotes by John Milton
A Hamas terrorist, a UN aid worker and a journalist walked into a Gaza hookah bar. And no one could tell who was who. ~ Ralph Peters
Gaza quotes by Ralph Peters
Arafat had said that the womb of the Palestinian woman was a "biological weapon," which he could use to create Palestine state by crowding people into the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. ~ Yasser Arafat
Gaza quotes by Yasser Arafat
Perhaps the most dehumanizing thing in Gaza is people there don't have the time to properly mourn the dead before strikes kill even more ~ Yousef Munayyer
Gaza quotes by Yousef Munayyer
I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website - but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens ~ Banksy
Gaza quotes by Banksy
Assembled in Gaza from Brazilian bioplastics, Turkish and Indonesian electronics, running Egyptian software and catching its time cues from an Israeli satellite, it commented on the world in ways its producers had failed to consider.
Come to salvation! ~ Alex Jeffers
Gaza quotes by Alex Jeffers
Israel will not transfer Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza District to any foreign sovereign authority, [because] of the historic right of our nation to this land, [and] the needs of our national security, which demand a capability to defend our State and the lives of our citizens. ~ Menachem Begin
Gaza quotes by Menachem Begin
Then God came to the woman and said to her, "Why did you not keep the commandment?" as if He wanted to say, "At least you, say forgive me, so as to humble your soul and to receive mercy." Again, there was no request for forgiveness. She also answered, "The serpent deceived me," as if she wanted to say, "If the serpent sinned, where is my mistake?" ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
There used to be a middle class here – recently. We also get reports that in the past, Gazan flower shipments to Europe were delayed for two weeks at the Erez crossing for security inspections. You can imagine the value of two-week-old cut flowers in the European market, so that market dried up. And then the bulldozers come and take out people's vegetable farms and gardens. What is left for people? Tell me if you can think of anything. I can't. ~ Rachel Corrie
Gaza quotes by Rachel Corrie
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip. ~ John Bolton
Gaza quotes by John Bolton
The goal of the operation is to send Gaza back to the Middle Ages, only then will Israel be calm for the next 40 years. ~ Michael Ben-Ari
Gaza quotes by Michael Ben-Ari
Give me until the end of the year and I will be able to control the chaos in Gaza, ... Now that the Israeli pullout is completed, we will be able to better deal with the problem. ~ Mahmoud Abbas
Gaza quotes by Mahmoud Abbas
I would like Israel to be a Jewish state, and therefore not to annex over 2 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to Israel, which will make Israel a bi-national state. ~ Yitzhak Rabin
Gaza quotes by Yitzhak Rabin
The PLO was founded three years before the Israelis ever occupied Gaza and the West Bank, and that the PLO wanted Israel wiped off the map. But in a ninety-second story, who has time to remind viewers that when the PLO was founded, Gaza was illegally occupied by Egypt, and the West Bank by Jordan, but Yasser Arafat did not mind those occupations? Where were the voices of the Palestinians then for their independent state? ~ Brigitte Gabriel
Gaza quotes by Brigitte Gabriel
We do not build new Jewish communities in Samaria, Judea and Gaza. The United States has never accepted our building of communities or of the fence. Yet, I've managed to develop relations between Israel and the United States even though President Bush never supported settlements. ~ Ariel Sharon
Gaza quotes by Ariel Sharon
The people of Gaza are trapped. Israel has sealed the border, and they have no way to leave the Gaza Strip to do business. ~ Richard Engel
Gaza quotes by Richard Engel
Why did you act in this way, you pitiable ones? Make a bow of repentance, recognize your fault, be sorry for your nakedness. Neither one of them could blame himself, neither of them had the least bit of humility. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Gaza quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
How many hearts must break before greed is conquered and humanity rises? ~ Zarina Bibi
Gaza quotes by Zarina Bibi
Sometimes I have a notion that what might improve the situation is to have women take over the occupations of government and trade and to give men their freedom. Let them do what they are best at. While we scrawl interoffice memos and direct national or extranational affairs, men could spend all their time inventing wheels, peering at stars, composing poems, carving statues, exploring continents
discovering, reforming, or crying out in a sacramental wilderness. Efficiency would probably increase, and no one would have to worry so much about the Gaza Strip or an election. ~ Phyllis McGinley
Gaza quotes by Phyllis McGinley
Netanyahu and his coalition have no strategy of their own except endless counterinsurgency against the backdrop of a steadily deteriorating diplomatic positionThe operation in Gaza is not Netanyahu's strategy in excess; it is Netanyahu's strategy in its entirety. The liberal Zionist, two-state vision(that) once commanded a mainstream position within Israeli political life has been relegated to a left-wing rump within it. ~ Jonathan Chait
Gaza quotes by Jonathan Chait
Humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions. Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp. ~ David Cameron
Gaza quotes by David Cameron
The new crimes that the US and Israel were committing in Gaza as 2009 opened do not fit easily into any standard category - except for the category of familiarity. ~ Noam Chomsky
Gaza quotes by Noam Chomsky
It hardly takes more than a day in Gaza to begin to appreciate what it must be like to try to survive in the world's largest open-air prison. ~ Noam Chomsky
Gaza quotes by Noam Chomsky
The proposed policy [of raising the level of public service in the occupied territories] may clash with our intention to encourage emigration from both [Gaza] Strip and Judea and Samaria. Anyone who has practical ideas or proposal to encourage emigration-let him speak up. No idea or proposal is to be dismissed out of hand. ~ Moshe Dayan
Gaza quotes by Moshe Dayan
One of the biggest problems that Egypt faces is the lack of border security - the importation of weapons on their way to Gaza, for example, coming out of Sudan. ~ Hillary Clinton
Gaza quotes by Hillary Clinton
The actions of the terrorist organizations, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, and Hamas, in Gaza, against Israel are unconscionable. Instead of working towards peace, these terrorist organizations have chosen to perpetuate the violence. ~ Alcee Hastings
Gaza quotes by Alcee Hastings
I have a coach but there's nobody at my level in Gaza. I have to do most of my training sessions on my own. ~ Nader Al-Masri
Gaza quotes by Nader Al-Masri
Gaza 1948: Gaza was not a refugee camp yet, just a place designated for Palestinian people when the state of Israel came begin. But day by day it filled up with people who had no place else to go to. ~ Izzeldin Abuelaish
Gaza quotes by Izzeldin Abuelaish
He acted as if he could detect in her face nothing but its external beauties of form and texture. Whereas, of course, flesh is never wholly opaque; the soul shows through the walls of its receptacle. ~ Aldous Huxley
Gaza quotes by Aldous Huxley
The refugee card was and continues to be an insult to remind us of the little that refugees get in comparison with what they have really lost. Would a bag of flour compensate for the farmland they once had? Would a bag of sugar make up for the bitter misery those people have always felt after losing their sweet homes to dwell in refugee camps? Would the two bottles of oil make them forget their olive trees, which had been mercilessly uprooted as they themselves were? Or maybe it is simply a declaration that they are temporary refugees who once had the land which, as long as this card is still in their hands, would still be waiting for them to return. Only a shot of sharp pain brought me back to the present. ~ Refaat Alareer
Gaza quotes by Refaat Alareer
