Famous quotes by Mahmoud Abbas:

"We have one law for everyone and no one is above the law. We are not going to tolerate chaos after today."

"Do you think I am happy to work like this? I want to earn some living to feed my children,"

"From today we will not allow armed chaos, the taking of the law into individual hands, or attacks on public property."

"We are trying to lead our people to a just peace and to security, and we want to pave the way for the next generations."

"We cannot build a viable state with a country that is disintegrating into small pieces."

"We need international support so that our people live a life of normality, of dignity, of liberty and freedom. I hope that our cry for freedom may be heard."

"If we win the legislative elections , we will never recognize the state of Israel,"

"The withdrawal of the [Israeli] army and settlers from the Gaza Strip does not signal the end of the occupation"

"We cannot build foundations of a state without rule of law."

"I can certainly put myself in Israel's shoes. They are humans just like we are. They want peace and security inside their borders."

"We expect President Bush to implement his own vision of a two-state solution, the birth of the Palestinian State and the ending of the occupation that started in 1967."

"I say: The time has come for my courageous and proud people, after decades of displacement and colonial occupation and ceaseless suffering, to live like other peoples of the earth, free in a sovereign and independent homeland."

"Israel reoccupied the cities of the West Bank by a unilateral action, and reestablished the civil and military occupation by a unilateral action, and it is the one that determines whether or not a Palestinian citizen has the right to reside in any part of the Palestinian Territory."

"We have accepted the principle of democracy and we are committed to respect the popular verdict and the result of that national consultation."

"Let us all pledge to protect this opportunity in order to see that the wish of peace becomes a true and daily fact in this region."

"The time has come to end the suffering and the plight of millions of Palestine refugees in the homeland and the Diaspora, to end their displacement and to realize their rights, some of them forced to take refuge more than once in different places of the world."

"There is a requirement to ensure the withdrawal takes place in a civilized manner. We will be able to show the world we deserve independence and freedom."

"The core issue here is that the Israeli government refuses to commit to terms of reference for the negotiations that are based on international law and United Nations resolutions, and that it frantically continues to intensify building of settlements on the territory of the State of Palestine."

"It is high time that the Palestinian people restore their freedom and independence. It is high time that the decades, the long decades of suffering and pain would stop."

"The PLO and the Palestinian people adhere to the renouncement of violence and rejection and condemning of terrorism in all its forms, especially State terrorism, and adhere to all agreements signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel."
