The ultimate goal of Palestinan terrorism...

"These suicide attacks caused a large number of fatalities and casualties IN THE CENTER (i.e. Tel Aviv, not the West Bank) of the Zionist occupation of our land"

Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade official website, a statement appearing after the Tel Aviv double bombing:

Israel's and the Palestinians present tragedy isn't going to be solved simply simply returning the West Bank...in fact if anything it indicates that that will be regarded only as a preliminary to the ultimate goal of eradicating Israel.
