Israel] was Palestine, and there is no reason why it should not be renamed Palestine.”
–Omar Barghouti, Founder, Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel
“[Palestinians have a right to] resistance by any means, including armed resistance. [Jews] aren’t indigenous just because you say you are….[Jews] are not a people…the UN’s principle of the right to self-determination applies only to colonized people who want to acquire their rights. ”
–Omar Barghouti
“Going back to the two-state solution, besides having passed its expiry date, it was never a moral solution to start with.We are witnessing the rapid demise of Zionism, and nothing can be done to save it, for Zionism is intent on killing itself.”
-Omar Bargouti
“Good riddance! The two-state solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is finally dead. But someone has to issue an official death certificate before the rotting corpse is given a proper burial and we can all move on and explore the more just, moral and therefore enduring alternative for peaceful coexistence between Jews and Arabs in Mandate Palestine: the one-state solution.”
-Omar Bargouti
“(The one state solution means) a unitary state, where, by definition, Jews will be a minority.”
-Omar Bargouti
“I am completely and categorically against binationalism because it assumes that there are two nations with equal moral claims to the land.”
-Omar Bargouti
“If the refugees were to return, you would not have a two-state solution, you’d have a Palestine next to a Palestine.”
–Omar Barghouti quoting Sari Nusseibeh, President of Al Quds University.
“The ‘two state solution,’…as dictated by Israel, omits basic Palestinian rights…[and] would be yet another act of British complicity in bestowing legitimacy on Israel’s unjust order.”
–Omar Barghouti
“A Jewish state in Palestine in any shape or form cannot but contravene the basic rights of the indigenous Palestinian population and perpetuate a system of racial discrimination that ought to be opposed categorically….Definitely, most definitely we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian, rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”
–Omar Barghouti
“You cannot reconcile the right of return for refugees with a two state solution….a return for refugees would end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state. A two-state solution was never moral and it’s no longer working.”
-Omar Barghouti
“[Jews] did not suffer in Arab countries. There were no pogroms. There was no persecution.”
–Omar Barghouti
“The BDS movement was launched because of the ongoing failure to protect the rights of the Palestinian people. Some of these rights were frittered away: The Right of Return is in danger, the right of our people to the 1948 lands is in danger, and even the right of our people to the 1967 lands. Some of these rights are ignored. The BDS movement was created in 2005, in order to focus on the elimination of the occupation, on the elimination of the system of racial segregation – the Israeli apartheid – and on the right of the refugees to return to the homes from which they were expelled.”
– Omar Barghouthi
“I clearly do not buy into the two-state solution.”
–Omar Barghouti
Omar Barghouti is the founder of BDS.
