The Heart of the Struggle
An excerpt from an interview with Nasser Jumaa, head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
History will record that they, the Israelis, invented one thing: the world's biggest prisons. They build prisons on people -- literally over them. The life that Israel has imposed upon Palestinians is impossible to live, and there will come a day, it isn't far away, when the prisons will be destroyed. God alone gifted us with the mental power, the fortitude and stamina, to endure under enormous pressure and in impossible circumstances.
