Not the Loyal Opposition

Via Israel Foriegn Ministry

The following are statements by Rantisi (source - Hamas internet site, 26 January 2004):
  • "There will be no concession of one inch of Palestine, because it is Islamic Land."

  • "There will be no recognition of what is called the 'State of Israel.' "

  • "Any solution which includes recognizing what is called the 'State of Israel' or concession on one inch of historic Palestine is unacceptable and void, and doesn't obligate us at all."

  • "[Violent] Resistance is the only option for the restoration of our stolen rights."


  • In an interview on April 9, 2004:

    "We say to the Muslim people of Iraq, we are with you in your struggle against American terror and destruction, we are with you in your war in defense of Islam. We say to the fighter and commander Mokutada A-Sadr: Hamas stands by your side and blesses your Jihad (holy war) and wishes you with the help of God, that you will win and be victorious."
