Dr. Faiz Abu Shamala, a former mayor of Khan Yunis and a doctor of political literature who spent 10 years in Israeli prison, stated that Jews are deeply connected to the land, both historically and presently. He emphasized that their profound roots and belief that the land was a divine gift to Abraham make this bond unbreakable.

Abu Shamala asserted that the Jewish people's value of life and prayer are intrinsically tied to this holy land. He quoted, "They have no value of life except on this holy land, and their prayer is only worthwhile on this land."

However, based on this recognition of the strong historical Jewish connection to the land, Abu Shamala argued that coexistence and the establishment of a Palestinian state are an illusion. He likened the situation to a woman in love with two men, who can only marry one.
