10 QUOTES WITH «GAZA»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Gaza.
1
Nader al-Masri
I practice on the roads of Gaza as we don't have good stadiums and tracks so I gave my best.
2
Nader al-Masri
I feel a freedom when I start running. If I don't train, I feel like everyone else in the Gaza Strip.
3
Yasser Arafat
Our law is a Jordanian law that we inherited, which applies to both the West Bank and Gaza, and sets the death penalty for those who sell land to Israelis.
4
John Bolton
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
5
Edgar Bronfman, Sr.
Based on the Gaza precedent, Israel should not simply be expected to withdraw from territory and let it devolve into a state of anarchy. The West Bank is simply too close to Israel's major population centers and infrastructure to allow it to become another launching pad for rockets.
6
Moshe Dayan
We should demand his blood not from the Arabs of Gaza but from ourselves. Let us make our reckoning today.
7
Richard Engel
Each time there is a conflict between Israel and Gaza, accusations fly over who started it, each side blaming the other.
8
Michael Franti
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.
9
Ismail Haniyeh
We don't have a state, neither in Gaza nor in the West Bank. Gaza is under siege and the West Bank is occupied. What we have in the Gaza Strip is not a state, but rather a regime of an elected government. A Palestinian state will not be created at this time except in the territories of 1967.
10
Jane Harman
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back.
