Sheikh Khalid bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Ras Al Khaimah Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler (that's his full title)of the United Arab Emirates, overseeing the 'No...No...Israel' festival which featured a football match and funeral ceremony for two 'martyrs'), told the gathered people that:

the facts on ground have recently proved the idea of the Arabs and Muslims making peace with Israel, but it is a mere daydream which will never come true.

And:

"The struggle between the Arabs, and Israel have been based on the right of existence, not borders, as it is truly a religious struggle or a struggle of civilisations. "The disgusting state terrorism Israel has been practicing on the Palestinians, will not just pass without a punishment, but justice needs time to be done, and the Arabs are too patient when it comes to their rights. "The current Israeli government is a government of war not a government for peace," he said, adding. At a time when the Arabs and the Muslims were making a peace plan at the Beirut Arab Summit, the Israelis were pointing their guns towards the Palestinian civilians and murdering them. Of course he forgot to mention that those guns were pointed as a result of the Netanya bombing. Seeing how much praise he has for the suicide bombers, I don't knowhow he failed to mention that 'blessed' event.

He also informs his audience:

"Through history, it is proved that the Jewish and Western mentality does not understand the logic of peace..." In other words, history has shown that those damned Westerners won't roll over and let us rule them. So it's okay to send suicide bombers at them.

This line speaks for itself:

"The U.S.A. should be more logical in handling the struggle in the region by adopting the policy of the honest implementation of the UN resolutions in line with the Palestinian cause."

The Ambassador of Belgium (the seat of the EU) was heaped with praise at the event for his nation's brave stand in cutting diplomatic relations with Israel.
