"Israel enjoys total impunity for its crimes against the Palestinian people... Remember it was bombing Gaza with weapons provided by the US, EU and Canada, who all stood by Israel.”

"Palestinian resistance has not abated for more than 100 years and will go on for another 100 years and more if needed, this means that the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip will not end."

@AyyashMark "Israel hates the Palestinians for being the living proof that the foundations of Zionism – a people without a land settling in a land without a people – is mythical at best and violent and colonialist in reality."
