Quote by Abba Eban

“There is no difference whatever between anti-Semitism and the denial of Israel's statehood. Classical anti-Semitism denies the equal right of Jews as citizens within society. Anti-Zionism denies the equal rights of the Jewish people its lawful sovereignty within the community of nations. The common principle in the two cases is discrimination." New York Times, 1975”

“Mafundisho mengine ambayo si ya kweli ya Ukristo ambayo hutokana na utambuzi wao wa matukio haya ni ‘Siku ya Bwana’. Makanisa ya Kikatoliki na Kiprotestanti kote duniani yanaonekana kuwa na nia njema lakini huwadanganya watu kuamini kuwa Kristo alibadili siku ya kupumzika kutoka Sabato kwenda Jumapili. Angewezaje kufanya hivyo? Angeweza kufanya hivyo kwa ufufuo wake!”

“The Maronite Christian women in Manaus could not tolerate the notion of Zana marrying a Muslim. A mere tinker, a peddler, a roughneck, a Muslim from the mountains of Southern Lebanon, they’d say. Ah, these passions in the provinces. It’s like being onstage, listening to the audience booing two actors playing two lovers. The more they booed, the more perfume I put on the marriage sheets. It was a greedy and vengeful kiss, I silenced those rattling tongues…and all of Abbas’s ghazals were in that kiss.”

“Jeden Tag habe ich mich in der Sicherheitszone danach gesehnt, den Himmel, die Sterne oder lebende Pflanzen zu sehen. […] Durch ihre Glasfenster können sie jeden Tag die Sonne beim Auf- und Untergehen beobachten. Sie können die Sterne zählen, wenn sie wollen, und dem Mond dabei zusehen, wie er zu- und wieder abnimmt. Warum haben sie uns unter der Erde eingesperrt, während sie selbst die Fenster weit aufreißen und ihre Lungen mit frischer Luft füllen konnten? Warum haben sie das nie mit uns geteilt? Warum haben sie uns belogen?”
