Our path to Palestine will not be covered with a red carpet or with yellow sand. Our path to Palestine will be covered with blood... In order that we may liberate Palestine, the Arab nation must unite, the Arab armies must unite, and a unified plan of action must be established.
Gamal Abdel Nasser's re-election speech (1965) as quoted in Efraim Karsh "Islamic Imperialism: A History" (p. 162), 2006.
