Falastin quote

By Mary Rizzo • Jun 14th, 2008 at 9:14 • Category: Falastin, Quotes

Is Israel still preserving the dream of having all Palestinian territories, but having them empty, without Palestinians? After one hundred years of conflict, it is time to realize that this dream is an impossibility. Today, three million Palestinians live in the Occupied Territories. Israel must accept to deal with this living Palestinian reality and should not think any more of suppressing it or confining it in any disguised form of occupation or apartheid system.
Michel Sabbah, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem

• Quote of the day

  • This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.
    Abraham Lincoln  Letter to Henry Pierce

  • “Israel as an occupying power has an obligation to ensure adequate medical care for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and especially pregnant women, according to the Fourth Geneva Convention, but Israel has consistently disregarded its obligation and the army has often impeded access for Palestinian women, children and men to healthcare facilities.” Amnesty International
