Sebelumnya, penting untuk anda pahami pernyataan organisasi pejuang Palestina, Hamas, berikut ini:

"Our message to the Israelis is this, we do not fight you because you belong to a certain faith or culture. Jews have lived in the Muslim world for 13 centuries in peace and harmony; they are in our religion "the people of the book" who have a covenant from God and His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) to be respected and protected. Our conflict with you IS NOT RELIGIOUS, but political. We have no problem with Jews who have not attacked us, our problem is with those who came to our land, imposed themselves on us by force, destroyed our society and banished our people."
