"Resistance in Palestine will continue until the final liberation of all the Palestinian lands"
About this Quote
“All the Palestinian lands” is the real payload. The phrase refuses the grammar of compromise that dominated much of the 1990s peace process, where borders, land swaps, and phased recognition were the currency. Yassin’s language pushes past a two-state horizon and invokes a maximalist territorial claim, one that treats partition as a detour at best, a betrayal at worst. That’s not just ideology; it’s strategic messaging aimed at keeping a movement cohesive when diplomacy, fatigue, and internal rivalries threaten to fragment it.
Context sharpens the edge. Yassin, as a foundational figure of Hamas, spoke from within a landscape shaped by occupation, settlement expansion, cycles of violence, and a collapsing belief that negotiations would deliver dignity or statehood. The line offers certainty where politics offers whiplash: a simple promise of continuity. It also functions as a veto: if liberation is “final” and total, any interim deal becomes suspect, and any restraint can be cast as surrender.
