"We are Palestinian people. There are 5.5 million of us. One million live in West Bank of the River Jordan. Six hundred and fifty thousand live in the Gaza Strip. Seven hundred and fifty thousand live in Israel. And the rest of us scattered around the world. We are a nation robbed of its country, a people stripped of its country, a people stripped of their rights. In the West Bank and Gaza Strip, we live under Israeli military occupation. In Israel we live as second-class citizens. In the Arab countries bordering Israel, most of us live in refugee camps that make the slums of the Western world seem like the suburbs.""Our struggle will end when we have nothing left ot struggle for. We will have nothing left to struggle for when every one of our dispossesed people has laid down his life or regained his rights. Whether you wish to negotiate with us, as most of the nations of the East and the West have done, or annihilate us, as Israel has tried to do for the past 40 years, you know who we are and where we live. We are Palestinian people...we are a nation robbed of its country, a people stripped of their rights, a civilization that will regain its homeland and take charge of its fate no matter who resists it or how."
