The increasing mistrust between the Arab-Muslim peoples and the western world is rooted in the conflict in Palestine.
Jordan is Palestine. The capital of Palestine is Amman. If Palestinian Arabs want to find their political expression, they will have to do it in Amman.
Palestine isn't a state when it concerns statehood. When it comes to warring, it's a state, yes? The Palestinians, they live in a country, for the purpose of war.
Fear is the main factor in Arab politics... There is no Arab who is not harmed by Jews' entry into Palestine.
A solution of two national states - a Jewish state, Israel; an Arab state, Palestine. The Palestinians are our closest neighbors. I believe they may become our closest friends.
You can't ignore reality. You won't wake up one morning and find that the Arabs of Umm al-Faham have become part of Palestine and are no longer in Israel.
The core issue here is that the Israeli government refuses to commit to terms of reference for the negotiations that are based on international law and United Nations resolutions, and that it frantically continues to intensify building of settlements on the territory of the State of Palestine.
Palestine is the cement that holds the Arab world together, or it is the explosive that blows it apart.
It is our hope that Palestine will soon be welcomed to the community of nations with full - in my opinion - full membership in the United Nations.
It seems like the whole world is either with Israel or with Palestine. It seems like there is nobody who is actually in the middle, because the only loud people are the ones in the extreme.
I feel like the history between Israel and Palestine has a lot in common with the history between India and Pakistan.
As a Zionist youth leader in the 1940s, I was among those who called for a binational state in Mandatory Palestine. When a Jewish state was declared, I felt that it should have the rights of other states - no more, no less.
I would like to see real peace and a state of Israel living peacefully alongside a state of Palestine.
I get it that the media is going to show the worst part, because that's the part that people want to see. But they have not represented Israel or Palestine, however people want to call it, they haven't represented it well at all. Go to the beach! You won't know this place from California.
In 1982, Israel began an invasion across its northern border, seeking to root out elements of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Israeli military wreaked destruction all the way up to Beirut and forced the P.L.O. out of Lebanon. It also defeated the Syrian Army and, particularly, the Air Force wherever it engaged them.
In September 1993, President Clinton presided over a handshake between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat on the White House lawn - the climax of a 'day of awe,' as the press described it.
