Ahmed yassin

Our priorities require that all children of Palestine, men and women, be ready for conflict, both from the standpoint of training and from the standpoint of armament.

Gaza has 1.2 million Palestinians living in crowded places and the resistance will be strong.

Where are the Muslim people's sponsors? Where are its kings? Where are its leaders? The Muslim people is calling upon you, Jerusalem is appealing to you, will anyone answer?

It is an exaggeration to call the Hamas and Islamic Jihad announcement a military alliance. It is rather a message that our people are united in the face of Israeli aggression.

Since Israel does not differentiate between attacking this group or that, we are saying our people can work individually or collectively to face this aggression.

Our main battle has always been against Israeli soldiers and Jewish settlers.

I think Israel will think one thousands times before invading Gaza.

We did not fight the Americans or the Europeans. We fight only the Israeli enemy that took our homes and homeland.

The so-called peace path is not peace and it is not a substitute for jihad and resistance

However, the resources at our people's disposal are very few and we require assistance from the neighboring Arab countries, and for weapons in order to fight the enemy.

History has proven that the PLO and its sectors suffered great damage when walking the way of harming Zionist interests in other countries around the world.

Israel, as the Jewish state, must disappear from the map.

Hamas' battle is against the Zionist occupation in the Palestinian land. Hamas has no desire to change its battlefield.

There are perhaps opportunities for greater political cooperation, at least more cooperation than exists now. But there can be no cooperation in the field because every situation is different

There are many resistance movements in the world, like the IRA for instance. But it is only Islamic resistance movements that are put on the terrorist list. This is what I am saying.

The attacks inside Israel are operations we carry out in response to Israeli crimes against our people.

In the past there was a difference between the conditions in which Hizballah operated in Lebanon and the conditions of resistance operated in Palestine.

The Hamas has taken the path of avoiding causing harm to Zionist interests outside of Palestine, not from weakness or lack of ability to do so, but because Hamas does not wish for further fronts to be opened against it around the world

Sons of Islam everywhere, the jihad is a duty - to establish the rule of Allah on earth and to liberate your countries and yourselves from America's domination and its Zionist allies, it is your battle - either victory or martyrdom.

Resistance in Palestine will continue until the final liberation of all the Palestinian lands.

Days will prove that the assassination policy will not finish the Hamas. Hamas leaders wish to be martyrs and are not scared of death. Jihad will continue and the resistance will continue until we have victory, or we will be martyrs.

We wish that all countries around the world honor our wishes and our Jihad, and we avoid interfering in their business.

Philosophical Views and Reflections

Yassin on several occasions proposed long-term ceasefire agreements, or truces, so called hudnas , in exchange for Israeli concessions. All such offers were rejected by Israel. Following his release from Israeli prison in 1997, he proposed a ten-year truce in exchange for total Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, including East Jerusalem , and Gaza and a stop to Israeli attacks on civilians. In 1999, in an interview with an Egyptian newspaper, he again offered a truce:

The killing of Sheikh Yassin has escalated tensions in Gaza and the greater Middle East , and sets back our effort to resume progress towards peace. However, events must be considered in their context and as we consider the killing of Sheikh Yassin, we must keep in mind the facts. Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was the leader of a terrorist organization, one which has proudly taken credit for indiscriminate attacks against civilians, including most recently an attack last week in the Port of Ashdod , which left 10 Israelis dead. He preached hatred, and glorified suicide bombings of buses, restaurants, and cafes. Yassin was opposed to the existence of the State of Israel, and actively sought to undermine a two-state solution in the Middle East.
