Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations...

Israel must withdraw from Jerusalem so that it becomes the capital of a state of Palestine.

The Israelis are mistaken if they think we do not have an alternative to negotiations. By Allah I swear they are wrong.

With hearts that believe in Allah's will and predetermination, we have received the news about the martyrdom of the martyr. . . . Al-Hotary, the son of Palestine, whose noble soul ascended to . . . in order to rest in Allah's Kingdom, together with the Prophets, the men of virtue, and the martyrs. The heroic martyrdom operation . . . who turned his body into bombs . . . the model of manhood and sacrifice for the sake of Allah and the homeland.
