The Palestinian Rifle is ready and we will aim it if they try to prevent us from praying in Jerusalem.

Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.

Confidence alone does not make peace, but acknowledging rights and confidence do. Failure to recognize these rights creates a sense of injustice; it keeps the embers burning under the ashes.
