What I, as the prime minister of the present government of Israel, started to do, is first to tackle the longest part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. ~ Yitzhak Rabin
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Yitzhak Rabin
Blood is everywhere..
Vultures take shelter beneath the tanks;
for the fumed sky is unsafe for their avian flight to prey on the Palestinian flesh. ~ Munia Khan
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Munia Khan
The imperialist found it useful to incorporate the credible and seemingly unimpeachable wisdom of science to create a racial classification to be used in the appropriation and organization of lesser cultures. The works of Carolus Linnaeus, Georges Buffon, and Georges Cuvier, organized races in terms of a civilized us and a paradigmatic other. The other was uncivilized, barbaric, and wholly lower than the advanced races of Europe. This paradigm of imaginatively constructing a world predicated upon race was grounded in science, and expressed as philosophical axioms by John Locke and David Hume, offered compelling justification that Europe always ought to rule non-Europeans. This doctrine of cultural superiority had a direct bearing on Zionist practice and vision in Palestine.
A civilized man, it was believed, could cultivate the land because it meant something to him; on it, accordingly, he produced useful arts and crafts, he created, he accomplished, he built. For uncivilized people, land was either farmed badly or it was left to rot. This was

imperialism as theory and colonialism was the practice of changing the uselessly unoccupied territories of the world into useful new versions of Europe. It was this epistemic framework that shaped and informed Zionist attitudes towards the Arab Palestinian natives. This is the intellectual background that Zionism emerged from. Zionism saw Palestine through the same prism as the European did, as an empty territory parado ~ R.F. Georgy
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by R.F. Georgy
We were
existing somewhere between life and death, with neither accepting us
fully. ~ Susan Abulhawa
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Susan Abulhawa
In the end both people realized something so utterly simple and yet horrifyingly distant- by removing the 'otherness' from their respective identification, they can embrace a land that animates their historical sense of purpose and direction. They can embrace fate by embracing each other as joint caretakers of a historical location that witnessed rivers of blood and the silent weeping of those who dream of a New Jerusalem. ~ R.F. Georgy
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by R.F. Georgy
How can we speak to each other like equals when one of us is holding a gun? ~ Cliff James
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Cliff  James
The idea that the rest of the world was somehow being held hostage by the Arab-Israeli conflict once had a minimal basis in reality. In the first 20 years of Israel's existence, every Arab country was in an active state of war with the Jewish state. ~ John Podhoretz
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by John Podhoretz
The Arab-Israeli conflict is also in many ways a conflict about status: it's a war between two peoples who feel deeply humiliated by the other, who want the other to respect them. Battles over status can be even more intractable than those over land or water or oil. ~ Alain De Botton
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Alain De Botton
Jordan recognizes that east Jerusalem is the capital of the Palestinian state and Jordan rejects foreign sovereignty
Israeli sovereignty
over the holy sites ~ Yasser Arafat
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Yasser Arafat
They've (Israel) lost the battle for public opinion. They claim it's because American Jews know too little.. I claim it's because they know too much about the conflict, and young liberal Jews have difficulty defending the use of cluster bombs in Lebanon or supporting the Israeli settlements. ~ Norman Finkelstein
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Norman Finkelstein
Public interest in most of the Middle East was slight at that time; the Arab-Israeli conflict was all that people were interested in and that was not my specialty. ~ Juan Cole
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Juan Cole
Perhaps areas of Israel where current large Palestinian populations and demographic realities exist could be exchanged for Israeli expansion into the West Bank to include most of East Jerusalem. ~ Geraldo Rivera
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Geraldo Rivera
Imagine, with John Lennon, a world with no religion. Imagine no suicide bombers, no 9/11, no 7/7, no Crusades, no witch-hunts, no Gunpowder Plot, no Indian partition, no Israeli/Palestinian wars, no Serb/Croat/Muslim massacres, no persecution of Jews as 'Christ-killers', no Northern Ireland 'troubles', no 'honour killings', no shiny-suited bouffant-haired televangelists fleecing gullible people of their money ('God wants you to give till it hurts'). Imagine no Taliban to blow up ancient statues, no public beheadings of blasphemers, no flogging of female skin for the crime of showing an inch of it. ~ Richard Dawkins
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Richard Dawkins
The so-called 'Palestinian autonomous areas' are bantustans. These are restricted entities within the power structure of the Israeli apartheid system. ~ Nelson Mandela
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Nelson Mandela
Think of the great spirits of the last 50 years: Ghandi killed, not by a Pakistani Muslim, but one of his own Hindus, who hated him because he wanted India for the Muslims, the Sikhs, for everybody; Sadat, killed by the organization that Mr. bin Laden's No. 2 heads now, not by an Israeli, but by an Egyptian. My friend Yitzhak Rabin
after a lifetime defending Israel, killed
not by a Palestinian terrorist, but an angry Israeli because he wanted to lay down arms and take up peace ... Fanatics are defined by their hatreds; free people by their humanity. ~ William J. Clinton
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by William J. Clinton
Palestinian children deserve the same right to be free in their own land as Israeli children in their land. A two-state solution will finally bring Israelis the security and normalcy to which they are entitled, and Palestinians the sovereignty and dignity they deserve. ~ Denis McDonough
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Denis McDonough
I hope that my new status will be an example of Israeli-Palestinian co-existence, I believe that the destinies of the Israeli people and the Palestinian people are inextricably linked. ~ Daniel Barenboim
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Daniel Barenboim
Well, I myself am a 100% atheist. And I am increasingly worried that the Israeli-Palestinian struggle, which dominates our entire life, is assuming a more and more religious character. ~ Uri Avnery
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Uri Avnery
The common man or women, whether they are Israeli or Palestinian, Protestant or Catholic or Iraqi or American, the common man just wants to live in peace and justice in a clean environment. When we look around the world and we see that is not the case, we know the will of the majority is not being listened to, that's the first sign that our system is broken. ~ Woody Harrelson
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Woody Harrelson
With the common Iranian threat bringing the Sunni Arab world and Israel closer together, an Israeli-Palestinian peace would go a long way in improving relations and rebuffing Iran's regional ambitions. ~ Edgar Bronfman, Sr.
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Edgar Bronfman, Sr.
I also believe that US backing for Israeli policies of expansion of the Israeli state and oppression of the Palestinian people is the major cause of bitter division and violence in the world. ~ Clare Short
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Clare Short
Everybody has to move, run and grab as many (Palestinian) hilltops as they can to enlarge the (Jewish) settlements because everything we take now will stay ours ... Everything we don't grab will go to them. ~ Ariel Sharon
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Ariel Sharon
I cannot recognise either the Palestinian state or the Israeli state. The Palestinians are idiots and the Israelis are idiots. ~ Muammar Al-Gaddafi
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Muammar Al-Gaddafi
To avoid manufactured misunderstandings, the policies of Israeli governments are not analogous to Nazism. They do not aim at the systematic extermination of the Palestinian people, in the way Nazism sought the annihilation of the Jews. ~ Ken Livingstone
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Ken Livingstone
The suicide bomber who blows up Israeli children cannot transform himself into a martyr. The Palestinian problem is not an Islamic problem. ~ Tariq Ramadan
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Tariq Ramadan
At Camp David in 2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered the Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat 94 percent of the West Bank; ten years later, Ehud Olmert offered Abbas 93.6 percent with a one-to-one land swap. ~ Elliott Abrams
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Elliott Abrams
It was tricky [to write about Israelis], because everyone has an opinion about the Arab - Israeli conflict, and when I first started writing these stories, I was working for an Arab - Israeli human rights group. It was during the Second Intifada. It was this totally violent and intense time, and I think there's a part of me where I don't know how to write about that situation without getting my politics out of my messages, and that's something that was important for me not to do in this book. ~ Molly Antopol
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Molly Antopol
Agribusiness could provide an opportunity for joint Israeli-Palestinian projects, spurred on by Israeli technical expertise in this field. ~ Edgar Bronfman, Sr.
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Edgar Bronfman, Sr.
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
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Izzeldin Abuelaish
Goldstone has done terrible damage to the cause of truth and justice and the rule of law. He has poisoned Jewish-Palestinian relations, undermined the courageous work of Israeli dissenters and-most unforgivably-increased the risk of another merciless IDF assault. ~ Norman Finkelstein
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Norman Finkelstein
No Palestinian, young or old, would be frightened by these Israeli tactics. ~ Mohammed Dahlan
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Mohammed Dahlan
There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed. ~ Golda Meir
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Golda Meir
Dr. Shammaa's story was a dreadful one and her voice
broke as she told it. "I had to take the babies and put them
in buckets of water to put out the flames," she said. "When
I took them out half an hour later, they were still burning.
Even in the mortuary, they smouldered for hours." Next
morning, Amal Shammaa took the tiny corpses out of the
mortuary for burial. To her horror, they again burst into
flames. ~ Susan Abulhawa
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Susan Abulhawa
I vow that if I was just an Israeli civilian and I met a Palestinian I would burn him and I would make him suffer before killing him. ~ Ariel Sharon
Palestinian Israeli Conflict quotes by Ariel Sharon
He was walking down a narrow street in Beirut, Lebanon, the air thick with the smell of Arabic coffee and grilled chicken. It was midday, and he was sweating badly beneath his flannel shirt. The so-called South Lebanon conflict, the Israeli occupation, which had begun in 1982 and would last until 2000, was in its fifth year.
The small white Fiat came screeching around the corner with four masked men inside. His cover was that of an aid worker from Chicago and he wasn't strapped. But now he wished he had a weapon, if only to have the option of ending it before they took him. He knew what that would mean. The torture first, followed by the years of solitary. Then his corpse would be lifted from the trunk of a car and thrown into a drainage ditch. By the time it was found, the insects would've had a feast and his mother would have nightmares, because the authorities would not allow her to see his face when they flew his body home.
He didn't run, because the only place to run was back the way he'd come, and a second vehicle had already stopped halfway through a three-point turn, all but blocking off the street.
They exited the Fiat fast. He was fit and trained, but he knew they'd only make it worse for him in the close confines of the car if he fought them. There was a time for that and a time for raising your hands, he'd learned. He took an instep hard in the groin, and a cosh over the back of his head as he doubled over. He blacked out then.
The makeshift ce ~ Gary Haynes
