“The last paradox is that the tale of Palestine from the beginning until today is a simple story of colonialism and dispossession, yet the world treats it as a multifaceted and complex story—hard to understand and even harder to solve. Indeed, the story of Palestine has been told before: European settlers coming to a foreign land, settling there, and either committing genocide against or expelling the indigenous people. The Zionists have not invented anything new in this respect.”
― Noam Chomsky, On Palestine

“Thus, the ghettoization of the Palestinians in Gaza did not reap any dividends. The ghettoized community continued to express its will for life by firing primitive missiles into Israel. Ghettoizing or quarantining unwanted communities, even if they were regarded as dangerous, has never worked in history as a solution. The Jews know it best from their own history”

“Die meisten Menschen denken, dass Krieg vor allem aus Kämpfen besteht, das stimmt nicht. Es ist das Warten – auf den nächsten Angriff, das nächste Essen, den nächsten Morgen.”
― Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter

“Since the terms "aggression" and "terrorism" are inadequate, some new term is needed for the sadistic and cowardly torture of people caged with no possibility of escape, while they are being pounded to dust by the most sophisticated products of U.S. military technology. That technology is used in violation of international and even U.S. law, but for self-declared outlaw states that is just another minor technicality....
...The United States is just "too big to hold to account," whether by judicial inquiry, boycott and sanctions, or other means.”
