    نزار قباني
    “متهمون نحن بالإرهاب
    أذا كتبنا عن بقايا وطن ...
    مخلع ... مفكك مهترئ
    أشلاؤه تناثرت أشلاء ...
    عن وطن يبحث عن عنوانه ...
    وأمة ليس لها سماء !!
    ***
    عن وطن ... يمنعنا ان نشتري
    الجريدة
    أو نسمع الأنباء ...
    عن وطن ... كل العصافير به
    ممنوعة دوما من الغناء ...
    عن وطن ...
    كتابه تعودوا أن يكتبوا
    من شدة الرعب ...
    على الهواء !!”
    ― نزار قباني

    Noam Chomsky
    “Hamas is regularly described as 'Iranian-backed Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.' One will be hard put to find something like 'democratically elected Hamas, which has long been calling for a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus'—blocked for over 30 years by the US and Israel. All true, but not a useful contribution to the Party Line, hence dispensable.”
    ― Noam Chomsky, Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War Against the Palestinians
