Activist at Al-Najah University, Nablus: Let me convey a message to the Zionist enemy – the enemy of "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger," the enemy of Fatah, of Hamas, of Islamic Jihad, and of PFLP, and first and foremost, the enemy of the Palestinian flag. Yesterday, they killed three martyrs, from the various Palestinian factions. So I won't talk about Hamas or about Fatah.
We, the [Fatah] student movement at the Al-Najah University, direct a resounding message to the Zionist enemy alone: We shall never yield or surrender. We have many martyrdom-seekers at the ready, which neither you nor your government can hold back. That was our message to the blind Antichrist, Netanyahu.
To President Mahmoud Abbas, we present three options. The first option is for you and [the Israelis] to negotiate. This option is somewhat reasonable. The second is for us to negotiate, while they kill us. By God, this constitutes nothing but humiliation and a disgrace.
The third option… The third option is for us to fight them and kill them, and if they kill us, we will return to our Lord.
