“I consider that the entire land of Palestine is ours and that the Israelis have no right to build so-called Israel as a Jewish state on that land… I do believe that Israel is an alien entity and they have no right to live as a legal part of this region.”“‘Two-State Solution Is a Disaster’,” Al Jazeera, October 14, 2009, http://www.aljazeera.com/focus/2009/10/2009101451842607440.html.

“First of all, we do not believe in negotiations with Israel. We do not recognise Israel as a legitimate entity within this region and see it as an invading body that was cultivated in this area as a representative of Western interests and colonial powers. Israel is an occupier and they expelled the indigenous people of the land—the Palestinian population who are now living as refugees throughout the world… We do not trust the so-called peace process. From our point of view, nothing has been achieved since the Madrid conference and the Oslo Accords signed by Yasser Arafat, the late Palestinian president, in 1993.”“‘Two-State Solution Is a Disaster’,” Al Jazeera, October 14, 2009, http://www.aljazeera.com/focus/2009/10/2009101451842607440.html.

“Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler.

Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers.”“Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: Allah Imposed Hitler On the Jews to Punish Them – 'Allah Willing, the Next Time Will Be at the Hand of the Believers,” MEMRI, February 3, 2009, http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/802/3062.htm.
