“I will give them protection, Inshallah. As soon as […] I can get hold of an AK-47 (automatic rifle). These swine belong to an occupation power, Israel, and have additionally occupied our mosque, al-Aqsa. Oh Allah, get the filthy Jews out of our mosque. They are real swine and must be fought. It is a pity that the brother that shot against the [Oslo] synagogue in…2006 did not hit anyone,” (referring to the 2006 shooting at the Oslo synagogue.)

“We feel disgusted in the parliament. If they want us to, we can abandon it at any given moment and take to the streets. There, they shall see what the Golden Dawn is really about, they will see what battle means, they will see what struggle means, they will see what bayonets sharpened every night mean.” Yiannis Baboulias, “Greece’s Golden Dawn Isn’t a Political Party – It’s More like a Criminal Gang,” Guardian, September 4, 2012, http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/sep/04/greece-golden-dawn-not-political-party.

“The fruit was unripe, green, and bitter; the Oslo accords were bitter and we were made to swallow the bitterness. The result of this premature step was the Palestinian Authority… So what is our strategy today? We consider ourselves on a path to national liberation and therefore proclaim ourselves a movement of national and Islamic liberation from Israeli occupation. This requires us to adhere to the motto of resistance and continue with that option to reclaim the land… At all events, it must be made clear that this land is occupied and that resistance, jihad, and liberation are the only paths to restore our rights, while rejecting all compromise with Israel… They knew they were fighting Islamic Jihad, and that Islamic Jihad has nothing to lose, controls its own decisions, and does not count its casualties…. [So] trying to match Islamic Jihad in battle would entail great losses, particularly if Jihad extended the range of its missiles.”Mouin Rabbani, “Between Hamas and the PA: An Interview with Islamic Jihad’s Khalid Al-Batsh,” Journal of Palestine Studies 42, no. 2 (Winter 2013): 61–70.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
