From this blessed land that gave birth to the Palestinian messiah, peace be upon him, who connects the Christians and the Muslims for the sake of liberating the land, in order to take back the rights and to realize the message of the messiah Jesus, peace be upon him, the first Palestinian self-sacrificing fighter who sacrificed for the sake of justice. Towards realizing our national goal, an independent Palestinian state whose capital is Jerusalem. This land will return to its owners, and the Christians and Muslims will return to the streets of Jerusalem triumphant under the Palestinian flag.”
