Incitement and anti-Arab hatred increased significantly during the Gaza conflict. ”

I have no doubt that the Palestinian Arab leadership made a mistake when it did not accept the partition plan in 1947, but I want to try to understand it. ”

My biggest goal became to bring the weight of and the voice of the Arabs into the Israeli political sphere. ”

When I began my political career, I identified with Malcolm X. ”

Occupation is the Palestinian people's tragedy, but also Israel's present. We must liberate both people from the occupation. ”

The Palestinian people choose how to fight against the occupation. ”

My goal is that Jews feel safe in their country. ”

Eventually, I moved from a place of anger toward the Jews of Israel toward a place of embrace. ”

I come from a place of loving people - all human people. ”

The U.S. is friends with dictatorial regimes, then invades places like Iraq and Afghanistan, and what happens afterwards is a catastrophe. In the place of their leaders, fundamentalist movements that use the name of Islam spring up, and all that's left is terror and bloodshed. ”
