“The bottom line is this: Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens--and honor its own previous commitments--by accepting its legal borders. All Arab neighbors must pledge to honor Israel's right to live in peace under these conditions. The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.”

“أترين هذه الشريحة؟ حين كنت أضع المربى فوق الزبدة تذكرتُ أخي الصغير.. كان يعتقد دائما أنّ وضع المربى فوق الزبدة هو نوع من قلّة الذوق، فأنت إمّا أن تأكل زبدة أو تأكل مربى و لا يجوز أن تأكلهما معا لأنّك، عند ذاك تكون قد عبّرتَ عن احتقار لكرامة الزبدة أو لكرامة المربى..

كان، و أعتقد أنّه ما يزال يعتقد بأن الزبدة نوع من المأكل الذي يحتوي على كل العناصر التي تجعل منه شيئا قائما بذاته لا يجوز الاستهانة به. ”

“So here we have found a means of a) alienating even the most flexible and patient Palestinians; while b) frustrating the efforts of the more principled and compromising Israelis; while c) empowering and financing some of the creepiest forces in American and Israeli society; and d) heaping ordure on our own secular founding documents. When will the Justice Department and the Congress and the Supreme Court become aware of this huge and rank offense, which is designed to bring us ever nearer to holy war?”

“We can not fight for our rights and our history as well as future until we are armed with weapons of criticism and dedicated consciousness.”
