“We can starve but our will will not be broken. We can starve but we will not abandon our dignity.
We can become martyrs but we will not recognize Israel and we will not give up our rifles.”
--Maan News, April 14, 2006
“The imprisoned soldier will not be released until Israel pays the price and frees the Palestinian
prisoners. I don’t think any Palestinian would accept releasing him or delivering him to a third
party [Egypt] without a promise to release Palestinians in return.”
--Al-Sharq al-Awsat, August 16, 2006
