- Han forklarede: Fordi jøder var Europas ofre, ofre for antisemitisme gennem tidens løb, kulminerende i 1940'rne, overførte de denne offergørelse til forholdet til araberne. De så sig selv som arabernes ofre, og kunne ikke komme over denne følelse og forstå, at de i forholdet til palæstinenserne havde skiftet fra at være ofre til at være bødler.
- He explained: Because Jews were the victims of Europe, victims to antisemitism through the course of time, culminating in the 1940s, they transferred this victimness to their relations with the Arabs. They saw themselves as the victims of the Arabs, and could not get over this feeling and understand that, in their relations to the Palestinians, they had shifted from being victims to being executioners.

- Først og fremmest ville jeg gerne gøre op med offergørelsen. Offerrollen er lige så gammel som kønsroller. Den kan sagtens skaffe resultater, men klædelig er den ikke, og den fører kun til selvforagt.
- First and foremost, I should like to do away with the victim-making. The victim-role is just as old as gender roles. It is quite capable of achieving results, but it is not fitting, and it leads only to contempt of the self.
