As Norm Finkelstein stated...

“I mean we have to be honest, and I loathe the disingenuousness. They don’t want Israel. They think they are being very clever; they call it their three tier. We want the end of the occupation, the right of return, and we want equal rights for Arabs in Israel. And they think they are very clever because they know the result of implementing all three is what, what is the result? You know and I know what the result is. There’s no Israel!


As Omar Barghouti, the co-founder of BDS, has stated...

“(Palestinians have a right to) resistance by any means, including armed resistance. (Jews) aren’t indigenous just because you say you are….(Jews) are not a people…the UN’s principle of the right to self-determination applies only to colonized people who want to acquire their rights. ”

“Going back to the two-state solution, besides having passed its expiry date, it was never a moral solution to start with.We are witnessing the rapid demise of Zionism, and nothing can be done to save it, for Zionism is intent on killing itself. I, for one, support euthanasia.“

“I am completely and categorically against binationalism because it assumes that there are two nations with equal moral claims to the land.”

“You cannot reconcile the right of return for refugees with a two state solution….a return for refugees would end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state. A two-state solution was never moral and it’s no longer working.”

“(Jews) did not suffer in Arab countries. There were no pogroms. There was no persecution.”

“I clearly do not buy into the two-state solution.”
