Uthe, “Ingcindezi, ingcindezi, ingcindezi evela kuzo zonke izinhlangothi nangezindlela eziningi ngangokunokwenzeka: unswinyo lwezohwebo, unswinyo kwezomnotho, unswinyo lwezezimali, unswinyo lasebhange, unswinyo lwezemidlalo, unswinyo ngamasiko; Ngikhuluma ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu. Ekuqaleni sasine unswinyo olubanzi kakhulu futhi kuphela ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1980 lapho safunda khona ukuthi sinezijeziso eziqondisiwe. Ngakho-ke kufanele ubheke ukuze ubone lapho ama-Israyeli asengozini kakhulu; sikuphi isixhumanisi esiqine kakhulu nomphakathi wangaphandle? Futhi kufanele ube nobumbano oluqinile lwamazwe omhlaba; ukuphela kwendlela ezosebenza ngayo. Kufanele ukhumbule ukuthi iminyaka neminyaka neminyaka lapho sakha umkhankaso wokujeziswa kwakungekho nohulumeni baseNtshonalanga. Bafike sekwephuze kakhulu. ”

Asisoze sakwazi ukugibela uMargaret Thatcher, iBrithani, iJalimane, kepha eJalimane abantu abenze umehluko ngabesifazane abaqala ukuduba izimpahla zaseNingizimu Afrika ezitolo zabo ezinkulu. Yileyo ndlela esakha ngayo. Ungalokothi udelele usuku lweziqalo ezincane. Kwakungaphansi komphakathi. Kepha izinhlangano zomphakathi emphakathini wamazwe omhlaba zazingakha kuphela ngoba kwakukhona izwi elinamandla kangaka ngaphakathi futhi lokho sekuwumsebenzi wamaPalestina, ukugcina lelo zwi futhi liqine futhi licace ngangokunokwenzeka. Cabanga izimpikiswano, cabanga ngomqondo wakho konke kodwa ungakhohlwa uthando ngoba lokhu kwenzelwa izwe lakho. ”
UBoesak ubize ukuvikeleka kukahulumeni wase-US ezenzweni zikahulumeni wase-Israel isizathu esisodwa esibaluleke kakhulu esenza u-Israyeli wobandlululo abekhona. Ngaphandle kokwesekwa nguhulumeni wase-United States ngamavoti eNhlangano Yezizwe kanye nokuhlinzekwa kwemishini yamasosha ezosetshenziswa kumaPalestine, uBoesak uthe uhulumeni wase-Israel ngeke akwazi ukwenza ngokujeziswa.
