Get off their land and perhaps you will have peace

Highlights from the late Abdel Aziz Rantisi's 2003 interview with The Call to Islam ("Australia's Leading Islamic Periodical"):

Q: "How do you interpret the cowardly assassination attempt on your life, and the assassination policies of the Israelis in general, whose latest victim was Al-Qawasimy commander in Hebron?"
A: "Firstly, this is the custom of the Jews, for they are the killers of prophets, and the killers of the preachers who enjoin justice. Their criminal nature will never change. ...The Jews have designs and ambitions in Palestine and in surrounding countries, and they utilize terrorism to materialise their plans and accomplish their ‘holy’ prophecies."

(So much for that "people of the book" crap, eh, Rantisi?)

"As for us in Hamas, our charter states Palestine is a Muslim land that falls under the category of ‘Waqf’ in Islamic Law. Hence no leader, group, people or any generation is permitted to surrender a single hand-span of it to a non-Muslim. This is why we do not recognise the sovereignty of Jews on a hand-span of our country."

"We have stated clearly the ‘Road Map’ is a conspiracy against the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian existence."

Q: "How can the Intifada survive in light of the truce with the occupying enemy, especially considering the known Zionist cunning and deception for this nation since the time of our Prophet Muhammad (saw)?"
A: "Certainly the Intifada is continuing and shall not stop. Truce may actually be a cause for stirring up the Intifada not weakening it. The Zionists have nothing to offer to our Palestinian people, and time will prove this Inshaallah. As for the truce, it is our opinion that truce is an exceptional, temporary case, and its main aim is to maintain the choice of resistance."

But it's the Israelis who have destroyed the peace process, of course.

Rantissi was talking about Tel Aviv and Haifa as his land. Are you too? Do you agree that Israel must be destroyed? Speak up, we're listening.
